12 days agoNow it’s at the point where if you treat Linux desktop as something other than a game console or a development platform you’re in for a world of pain. Have fun filtering and grouping documents with Dolphin.

3·2 months agoUSSEP is still around the last time I checked.
2·2 months agoMicrosoft signs Red Hat certs then Red Hat signs everyone’s certs, so the only thing Microsoft can do is to revoke Linux as a whole.
It’s the solution that requires minimal user effort since most computers are designed for Windows.
I don’t have 10 year experience but RHEL desktop and server. I used Fedora Copr to rebuild Fedora packages for my desktop, as well as my custom packages.
I have a Windows 7 VM I use when I need something more powerful than GNOME.
1·3 months agoI recommend either Wrye Bash or MO2.
71·3 months agoYou mean tied to IDs or something?
Anything goes, ID is one way to do it.
This thread is acting like this is a slope to systemd distros requiring an ID check, if I’m reading it right.
The post itself is phrased like that for engagement.
They implemented part of the the low level works needed to implement birth date verification. Commercial distros like Ubuntu, RHEL and SteamOS might use it for law compliance. It’ll very likely be as easy to bypass as it can be since no one really wants this.

GrapheneOS was claiming 5-year support IIRC. Apple level support is infeasible. Not sure how affordable longer firmware support from Qualcomm is.
With Windows you simply have much less problems to solve. Normal people don’t care about jumping through hoops to create local accounts, they’ll just register.
Windows interfaces are designed for easy learning and are backed by real telemetry data from millions of systems, such as ribbon menus. On Linux power users run the show so even blatant violations of basic principles tend to stick since the development version is the shipped version and is what they are used to so UI stability took priority even though it shouldn’t been stabilised in the first place.
And on Linux you need higher tech knowledge and more time compared to other platforms due to almost everything being less polished. None of the Linux file managers have views, filtering and grouping features as polished as Explorer for example, so users will spend more time on miscellaneous tasks like managing files and they’ll add up.
