They’re constantly expanding the Active Directory schema and adding a lot of cool new features to Active Directory
you mean by letting it rot and become a security nightmare while trying to force everyone to move over to azureAD/entraID?
that’s the beauty of distros, those that want traditional package structure can still use a distro that does.
Even the current flatpak first distros like OSTree spins of Fedora (Silverblue, Kinoite et al) provide mutable containers for using any package format you like.
The flatpak size disadvantage is negligible in the age of terabytes
the issue is overstated as most flatpaks use the flatpak platform runtimes and share their own libraries in a similar manner to the host, yes its separate libraries, but its not dozens of disparate copies like some detractors of flatpak seem to state
whatever the new architecture ends up being, at some point we will see x86 relegated to a daughter board in the machine while we transition, or x86 will live in a datacenter and you’ll buy time on a “cloud pc” like what microsoft will already sell you in azure
Sorry I didn’t see a notification for this.
It’s a different work flow installing software. Flatpak first mentality, then install stuff in a Toolbox container, if that doesn’t work layer the rpm.
Being able to rebase has been helpful, I’ve based forward to rawhide a few times to try new packages and then rebase back to stable.
You lose things like being able to use packages out of copr, but used to only really use that to test new versions of KDE. However the devs created a branch for KDE testing anyway, so nothing lost.
Happy to answer any specific questions you might have
Microsoft is a cloud provider these days, Windows doesn’t make enough money, that’s why they are desperate to monetise already paying customers.
Azure/entra or whatever the fuck they call it this week is where the real money comes from
Don’t know if this counts - used Fedora KDE for about a decade and then last year moved to Fedora Kinoite. It’s essentially the same, but is OSTree based and immutable. I like the solid base, the rebasing function and containers
This is how the renfair types on Hysperia talk.
Billups would not be impressed
More for tiling 3 windows across it, or editing a long document
… I have played raiden on it a few times
I’m asking from a desktop perspective.
my second monitor is rotated
Oh yeah, Shit the photo was cropped how I viewed, I was optimistic that the under bed area was a work area or desk or something
The header photo suggests at least 4 room mates tho?
Check out Distrobox or Toolbox
It looks like they will add a subscription edition, doesn’t necessarily mean current editions will go away. If they don’t offer free upgrade again, for a lot of people they will need to decide to either buy a full license or roll a subscription.
There is not a lot known here tho, will Windows be part of the existing 365 subscription? Will OEMs offer a full license any more? Or will it be a trial before adding a sub or license.
No one knows
Year of the Linux desktop for most users is always n+1
For me it has been since 2012.
Good talk on the subject Benno is very engaging
My private tracker has multiple transmission versions on their approved list 🤷♂️
Why would I want those extra features in my torrent client? My transmission runs in a container and does its job
Quantumania got a bad rap, but I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty CG heavy and that detracted from it a bit, but it was still fun and an interesting episode to start what ever season we’re up to now.
millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars
