I would guess that they’ll be sourcing a next-gen RISC-V processor ASAP, since those will enable virtualisation. If they stick one in a laptop shell I’d probably buy it pretty quickly. Doubly so if it has EFI.

I’m sure I’ll get shouted down for this suggestion by the haters, but I’m going to make it anyway because it’s actually really good:
Use an Ubuntu LTS flavour like Kubuntu. Then, add flatpak and for apps you want to keep up to date, install either the flatpak or the snap, depending on the particular app. In my personal experience, sometimes the flatpak is better and sometimes the snap is better. (I would add Nix to the mix, but I wouldn’t call it particularly easy for beginners.)
This gets you:
Apple is (rightfully IMO) far more notorious for taking something that’s been around for years already, adding it to their product line (or as a feature in a product), and then pretending they invented it. Almost every company will copy features/products from other companies, but they don’t usually pretend to have invented the whole thing.
Example: Gmail. It was revolutionary, but not because Google really invented much (or indeed claimed to). Rather, it was revolutionary because it provided features that already existed in paid options (e.g. full IMAP support, large mailbox sizes) for free, with a good web interface.
Can confirm that it can do this fairly well.
Source: the time I grabbed a machine we were about to toss and made it a secondary domain controller for our site so we could nuke and pave our misbehaving Server 2012 DC.
(That other one was also a secondary DC - we just needed one on-site so we could prevent our T1 connection to another site from being the bottleneck.)
I am a certified Linux user with over 20 years of experience.
Please run the following command in a terminal:
sudo dnf install apt
And then try the instructions above. Let me know if this fixes your issue
Agreed. The great defaults in Plasma definitely are a major draw for me.
This is how I ended up having impossible burgers with bacon and cheese
That tracks, I think Vüdü Linux is a dead project.
Canonical’s been selling commercial support for Ubuntu Core for a while now. Why would they abandon it if it’s working?
Android doesn’t count, but what about my PinePhone?
You know what else would be awesome? “Update, reboot, and (just this once) automatically login”
It would be super useful for when I’m alone at home working but want to do updates over my lunch break.
It is theoretically automatable, but on bare metal it requires having hardware that’s not normally just sitting in every data centre, so it would still require someone to go and plug something into each machine.
On VMs it’s more feasible, but on those VMs most people are probably just mounting the disk images and deleting the bad file to begin with.
I know at least of Freexian. But also, Ubuntu tends to cover the “Like Debian, but with enterprise support” niche.
The packages in most distros will also restart the server for you. Any existing SSH sessions will technically be running in vulnerable versions, but if I’m understanding the vulnerability correctly this isn’t a problem, as they won’t be trying to authenticate a user.
If you want to be sure, you can manually restart the ssh server yourself. On most distros sudo systemctl restart sshd
should do it.
Not as big a portion of the country, but yeah coastal areas will often have a large population living in roughly a line.
In North America I believe the line connecting the most people would go from Quebec City through Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, London, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee and Minneapolis (though maybe not within just 5 km of it). This is the most populous part of the Great Lakes Megalopolis and into the St. Lawrence.
Bash
Not because it’s the best or even my favourite. Just because I create so many ephemeral VMs and containers that code switching isn’t worth it for me.
Yeah that’s solidly it. I use strictly confined CLI snaps all the time. (In fact, I maintain the snaps for a couple of CLI apps.) They work fine as long as the snap has the right plugs.
But I don’t want to have to run flatpak run dev.htop.htop
to get to htop.
The moment I can get a laptop-style RISC-V device with virtualisation support I’m doing it. Double bonus if I can actually use it as my daily driver.
