I suspect it will replace Ubuntu as the new noob distro, which is a good thing. Doesn’t run as fast on older hardware as mint w cinnamon, but that’s not a big deal. I’m hoping the new DE will improve that.
Love how feature rich it is, especially love the switch to toggle tiling windows on the desktop.
Perhaps, but I’m not really suggesting its use for professional programming in this post.
What it is good for is helping with simple stuff like terminal commands, learning python etc. Stuff that has a low risk profile that you’re not relying on for anything too important.
Dude calm down. Nobody cares that much, and I’m sure you don’t speak for every Greek person in the world.
You held a national poll, including yourself?
On your own machine, sure. But I think OP was referring to government departments
It goes well with Lamb Kofta
Finally some good news out of North Korea
From what I’ve heard, the problem with IT in the health industry is with equipment manufacturers. MRIs, x-ray machines and other equipment that have control software that’s written not just for windows, but a particular version of windows, and won’t work without it. So you end up with a patchwork of different OSes that need to be updated and secure. Unifying that into one OS, even if it was to a pre-rolled Linux distro would be a nightmare, if not impossible.
It breaks my brain every day of the week thinking about how much money could be put to better use in so many industries if they just switched to Linux, but big organisations are like big ships; they move slowly and are hard to steer. And they regard software licences as the cost of doing business 🤷♂️
That makes so much sense. That’s probably the best explanation I’ve ever heard of why windows is so hard to get rid of in large organisations.
I am actually curious about that, would I need a high powered GPU? I’m running a refurbished Dell Optiplex with a very basic video card that I added
I’m guessing for you it’s number 3.
The high rate of gatekeeping in the Linux community can be attributed to several factors:
Expertise and Complexity: Linux, with its technical complexity and steep learning curve, can foster environments where expertise is highly valued. This can lead to some individuals using their knowledge as a form of power, controlling access to information and resources.
Cultural Heritage: The origins of Linux in a niche, technically proficient community have perpetuated a culture that prizes deep knowledge and expertise, sometimes at the expense of inclusivity.
Identity and Status: For some, their identity and status within the community are closely tied to their perceived expertise and control over certain aspects of the technology, which can lead to gatekeeping behaviors to protect their standing.
Fear of Dilution: There’s often a concern that broadening the community might dilute its values or lower its standards, prompting some members to gatekeep to maintain a perceived purity or quality.
Efforts to address these issues often involve community-led initiatives to foster a more welcoming and inclusive environment, alongside mentorship programs to help newcomers navigate the community more effectively.
