Why don’t you open an feature request on their git if you have an issue with volunteer work.

It’s funny thinking this guy uses a distro package manager potentially with unofficial patches applied to the package.

That makes a lot more sense. I remember living with $200 laptops for a while and that’s kinda what I was thinking initially.

Stop it, you’re scaring the normies away. Shoo, shoo, go back to your Thinkpad running GNU Boot.

I don’t get it…

I heard adélie Linux is really good for slow and old hardware. action retro - Adélie Linux on a Pentium 4 laptop

I haven’t used it myself but I’ve seen this guy throw it on old mac’s for a while and this was particularly impressive.

Man a laptop new enough to require a newer kernel but slow enough for gnome to be slow. That’s an annoying spot to be man.

Why does the installer still explode sometimes when I use it on my computers. I use it on my mother’s computer or our movie server and it works fine.

Maybe it just eats shit when it sees a btrfs partition or something. Nothing against Debian but I tried to install Debian testing weekly and it just refused to install on my system 76 laptop. After flashing arch on my USB drive to wipe the disk I just said fuck it and installed arch on my laptop again. I haven’t had any issues with arch since I’ve installed it on my desktop five years ago. If arch blows up on my laptop I’ll try Debian again.

Don’t take it personally, it’s just a direction I haven’t seen many researchers/pen testers use. I’ve seen most run it on a virtual machine or a second computer and modify Ubuntu/Debian to better suit their needs and a primary computer/os for business transactions etc.

I can’t speak for hackers but from anecdotal evidence it seems like they can do their work on most systems but hacking hardware is just easier on Linux in general.

You mean that distro people use to pretend to be a hacker/security researcher. It’s just hardened Debian with a few tools installed. I’ve set something like that up in an afternoon tbh.

That good and all for your saints and what not but how about us sinners.

Some manufacturers allow you to get a refund for pre installed windows if you feel like sitting on the phone for hours. Something about a lawsuit involving Microsoft and anticompetitive contracts with the manufacturer not allowing the distribution of other operating systems.

I’ve seen a story about someone who got a refund for their dell laptop but it was slow, and the support staff was rude about it during the process. They stated things like the Microsoft software is free and why would you want to remove windows anyway, passing him from department to department. It’s often $60-$80 depending on the version of windows etc.

Edit: I should clarify it might only be a US thing, I’ve heard people in France having some luck.

Who’s fuckin who?

The easier it is for onboarding the better, even if it includes proprietary software. The discovery of free or open source software will come when they start exploring what’s available on Linux and find workflows that suit them.

I like free and open source software but the freedom of choice is what’s really important in the end.

I can’t wait for it to come to arch!

Sometimes longer if there are bugs but yeah.

There’s always a virtual machine if you need it for work.

No, there is not. Updating through terminal still bypasses it and I don’t mind so much seeing how my mother might accidentally power it off in the middle an important update otherwise. Most people know not to hit the power button when the scary load bar pops up with a message saying please do not power off system.

It’s ok, it’s called being a masochist. No one is judging you for using css.😆
