Most Linux users prob won’t care if Win10 dies.

Ooh, I do care! I’ll get one more ext4 drive in my system!
Why do people bother censoring them to begin with? I was regularly saying fuck by the sixth grade. I would have been saying it sooner if I wasn’t scared of my parents.
Good story, but I don’t give a fuck
Probably due to cross-posting to censoring shit-platforms like TikTok.
It’s an image. I thought tiktok was just video?
Is it? I wouldn’t know, never checked it out. Then I gave the wrong example. I’m still reading quite regularly that some platforms have general profanity filters - maybe even Reddit nowadays?
Garbage platforms then.
I have been a Linux user since 1995. Anyone that thinks that Linux is invulnerable is just silly.
It’s security through small market share. There’s just not enough major organizations using Linux as a default to warrant large numbers of all manor of gray or black hats to dig deep into finding the exploits.
There’s more money flowing through linux systems than you can even imagine. It’s an incredibly lucrative target that runs approx 85-90% of all internet service servers.
You do know that almost the entire Internet runs on linux? Even Microsoft isn’t running very many windows servers. In my humble opinion, if you are running a server on Windows, you are batshit crazy.
I run a winServer, but only to test if our device we develop works with LDAP(S) hosted on winServer->ActiveDirectory/entraID, as well as WinServer->RADIUS->eap-tls
Much of the security that comes with most linux distros is due to how software is installed. On windows, you typically install random .exe files online and have to put your trust in whoever provided you with the installer. On linux, it’s much more common to use a package manager to install packages, which means you are putting your trust in the package repositories instead, which can be policed by the maintainers who can decline to add suspicious packages.
There is an entire Linux server segment - exploiting Linux can be insanely profitable
Can be, but less likely given how ubiquitous Windows is on major systems across all industries.
nothing is invulrenable. but good luck finding a vulrenability on openSUSE for example. Almost impossible. But just almost
And has bad memory, regreSSHion wasn’t even half a year ago
That’s the one that avoided any enterprise SSHd, right?
Only people running bleeding edge were affected.
Fuck
For anyone who really can’t leave Windows, you may find the less-bloated LTSC and activation here: https://massgrave.dev/
Can you actually pirate Windows LTSC?
Is there any good guide?
It seems you can download the ISO directly from Microsoft, or from that site, and use their script to activate it.
I haven’t had the opportunity to test it yet, but seems “legit” to me.The guide is on the site they linked. It works, I did it a few times. They have to mirror the LTSC installation files unfortunately, but there’s a guide on how to verify they’re genuine if you don’t trust them.
i’m the pirate of the biggest seas but even i wouldn’t pirate my os. if im gonna dual-boot, i will buy win10 2019 ltsc. it is survivable, key resellérs have ok deals
Honestly, the way Massgrave works seems less sketchy than random keys from resellers. Massgrave is able to trick Microsoft into giving you a legit license key.
Yeah I could use ltsc if I rlly needed windows for something, but it doesn’t have Microsoft store and stuff but it’s fine tho.
doesn’t have Microsoft store
That is not a drawback.
True, but some apps are distrubuted via msix
You can re-enable microsoft store etc with a single line of powershell if you really need.
Oh yeah I seen scripts that re-enable it
fsck
I got caught in the cupspocalypse 3 weeks ago, because there is an unannounced dns vulnerability, do I get to bad mouth the penguin?
Is it because the linux users are clueless plebs just throwing out fancy words they dont understand?
Like ombudsman? That can’t be a real position!
i know it says fuck in there. its pretty obvious.
This is a linux meme. Clearly it says fsck.
Confirmed
FOCK!
That’s the sound a tennis ball makes.
I’ve been told if you see a censored meme it’s probably because someone took it from facebook.
I dunno what’s going on with the moderation over there as I deleted my account nearly a decade ago, back when getting full gore popping up in your feed wasn’t uncommon…
Billions got damaged, huh? That sounds serious.
btw if windows 10 dies, windows 11 will be forced on windows users, which is like 10000x times worse (personal experience). This is why i want to switch to linux when i get a decent computer (no, that linux distro i choose can’t be further from the “linux will run on everything” quote)
Use bazzite when you do. It’s awesome
better than Garuda? Bazzite is based on Fedora. I used fedora, and hated it. Basically no selection between packages, it only has a very few amount
It’s awesome. The packages don’t matter because you use distro box if there’s not a flatpak that works already. I have an Ubuntu distro box for tools for things that don’t work on fedora.
It uses ublueos for an immutable which is rock solid. Idk how to explain it well, but it’s the only distro I want anymore.
If u do end up trying it and find a package that doesn’t work, ping me and I’ll get you a command you can run to do it
immutable? does it have an immutable file system? that’s a perfect way to fill up and corrupt any storage
The root filesystem is immutable, not the entire filesystem. So when you do upgrades and things it’s super easy to roll back and you never need to rebuild your entire OS if a package is messed up or something.
Tbh I’m not great at explaining it, I’d just look up a YouTube video for it.

Bazzite uses silverblue with other gaming related features
is it better than Garuda’s zstd backups?
I’ve never used Garuda so I can’t comment on that. It just behaves like the steam deck but uses fedora
I just use snapback on btrfs with endeavourOS 🤔 works just as well, I recon, or what is the difference?
I believe bazzite is on btrfs by default. I just like the concept of a read only root filesystem. It helps make everything more stable so far for me personally
Chipping in, I have no idea what Garuda is, but I also hated working with Fedora, probably because I started off on Debian-based systems and couldn’t wrap my head around Fedora.
Bazzite, being an immutable distro, is intended where you shouldn’t need to use the Fedora package manager, so you instead install applications sandboxed like AppImages, flatpaks, etc. I’ve been fine with this for my gaming PC, but currently I still use and prefer Debian (LMDE) for my study laptop because I have easier control over it.
Overall it comes down to what you want out of your computer and what works best for you, that’s the beauty with Linux, but I thought I’d chip in and mention not to write off Bazzite for being Fedora based, as someone who couldn’t get behind Fedora.
Just use distrobox with Ubuntu or Debian for your tools and such. It tightly integrates with your OS and doesn’t sacrifice the immutability
I might consider that actually, I was trying to use secureblue instead of LMDE for the better security, and this was part of why I gave up on it. Cheers!
Garuda is an Arch-based, gaming-focused distro which tries to simplify Arch to a beginner’s level
Does Garuda still use latte dock? I recall that project being dead.
since when it is dead… It is still an active project with thousands of users, the forum is also active. what is latte dock btw?
I meant latte dock is dead. It’s a Mac OS-like dock.
why would i need that
You wouldn’t? It shipped with The KDE-Dragonized version or whatever it’s called. I assumed you used that version because it’s the most popular version. I was asking if the Garuda devs still ship latte dock with the KDE edition.
I’ve used windows 11 once on a mini PC just because that is what was preinstalled and I needed to make sure everything worked. My first impressions of the core UI was actually kinda good except it’s windows, so you know literally none of the apps are going to follow the same design, so it really does not matter. I promptly put OPNsense on the miniPC as soon as I saw the 2 NICs show up in device manager.
the ui is very inconsistent on windows. You can have a time travel when browsing through the settings
Exactly my point. Some of it looks nice like KDE, but the rest is just a mashup of different design languages and philosophies that do not mesh together. The disk utility comes to mind as one that is pretty horrible for how important it is.
win11 is a major improvement tbh.
process scheduling doesnt suck as much as it used to and bluetooth has AAC support (win10 only has sbc which sounds bad)
defender is much harder to get rid of though (but you can still get rid of almost all online features and telemetry including ms accounts using group policies as long as you have Enterprise or a LTS version)privacy is even more nonexistent, everything is cluttered and the gui is very inconsistent. And for me, bluetooth usually doesn’t work at all after updating for win11
bt is not as good on linux (takes like 10 seconds to pick up my earbuds after i take them out vs up to 2 seconds on linux) but its still a major improvement. the new tiling seems pretty cool but eh didnt end up using it. virtual desktops and dual monitors work a lot better although switching desktops can break taskbar icons (and that bug still hasnt been fixed since release)
For me, preinstalled windows 11 cannot connect to my android phone through bluetooth. Was afraid its hardware incompatibility but it just works in linux
For me it is way less pain to set up and work using linux than…, …that…
This post shows, how much you “don’t care”.
All Linux people on Lemmy seem to talk about is Windows. It’s exhausting.
Probably because most of us suffered for ten years or more with windows and we’re traumatized by it
Or/and are forced to use it at work
Exactly

On the desktop, Windows is the majority. This means that many people around us who we care about (friends, family) are going to be using Windows and receiving the problems associated with it. That’s why we (linux users) care when Windows goes to shit.
This is true on one hand, but on the other hand, the businesses still using Ubuntu 10.04 with its original kernel would like a word.
fixed release distros also have a lot of vulrenabilities
I run NT, btw.
Lucky bastard. Try running Windows CE 2.11 and you’ll truly know how it feels to be caged.
I’m not one to kink shame, but DAMN!
