Fedora was the first to get my NVidia Card and proprietary wifi card working out of the box without intervening. It also updates my Dell firmware out of the box. Debian, last time I checked, does not. I haven’t tried since before Bullseye.
Similar to Debian but tangentally, I run Guix which falls under the same GNU umbrella of what “free software” is and I have to break that with non-free channels to get the same laptop running.
Debian takes work, especially if you have tricky, proprietary hardware that requires firmware support. It comes with that magical “free software only” mentality that makes it harder to adopt and hence why Ubuntu and Mint exist. It’s a great minimalist distro
I sometimes forget that I’m not the only kind of user who may run a Linux box. I’m not immune to compromise, but I’m not an “average” user like say… Peggy from accounting.
Why is this a requirement? Commercial support?
You may run Fedora in WSL2. This is what I do. My work is largely command line based. Use Wezterm. If you must, launch GUI apps from there. I’m running graphical Emacs daily just fine this way. My coworkers don’t have half the gas for our kubernetes pods that I do and that’s by in large the fact that I refuse to lose my Linux chops
Just ask them why they want to waste the money on licensing. Money is the language managers understand
The fact that this is Stephanie McMahon makes it so fucking funny
You could also just use a USB drive or even a CDRW drive 🤓 Imagine a CD with dotfiles sharpied onto it like its 2001
I think they meant Misskey
Why waste time when few words do trick?
Aw man, they own a home too? 😅
Would is the hypothetical polite request. Will is the expectation that I’ll do it. They are more interchangeable than my being capable of doing it.
For the love of god just ask me if I would do something rather than ask me if I can.
Yes, I can pass the salt. But WILL I? 😑
Get a pixel. They are less expensive, especially at last year’s model. Way less vendor bloat. Easiest device to deGoogle, ironically. I’m running GrapheneOS on a pixel 7 I spent $700 a couple years ago. Get your freedom while you still can
Sorta. Whomever does payment on your behalf has to be willing to extend credit for an immediate transaction while the very slow process of exchanging money happens at a delay. This is especially so if the transactions are international. I truly wonder how the phone with just an ordinary bank account does this. Is it Google/Apple who extend credit? If so, is that better?
