Did...you read the EULA?

There are OS's that won't do this like Linux distros or BSD.

But MS really sees it as their operating system not yours.

I wanted to like hyprland but I am so gnome-pilled it's been hard for me to try other types of DE's. :(

Girl I use stock arch too but there's a meta KDE package!

Finally someone who knows how to use a computer.

Given the existence of floorp (yes it's really called that), poob is probably a core system utility somewhere.

Girl just use gnome.

I might try a side by side to see, I keep seeing ltsc come up in discussions of windows updates and I've never used it.

Totally get why you'd want some lighter weight windows os though, the adobe creative suite is really good and doesn't run well outside of windows or Mac, and is slow in vm.

Is ltsc substantively different than stock win11 for program execution?

I'm running stock win11 in a VM for various reasons on a Linux system, but it wastes a lot of time trying to contact MS servers at startup and there's some jank when running without network access.

Nice

OK it's super weird to SSH into a server on shitty internet and see the server has 100% access to a 1+Gbps wired connection.

It took me 20 seconds to load this bluesky page from this location, but the server is like...just burning through downloads np.

Remote access is so cool.

For Linux, as most games are non-native, launching games requires the use of a compatibility layer to simulate the windows services programs need.

Most people use a launcher program like steam or lutris to manage the compatibility layer.

About 70% of windows software will function this way.

I've heard good things about nobara. Never used it though.

Girl we are all in love with arch Linux.

Definitely of my own free will and under no duress.

Multiple times during this process I debated just using tailscale.

The server is fine, it's the clients that seem to be lackluster. It's cross-compatible with tailscale infrastructure so I can use those clients.

Trayscale for a headscale gui?

There's got to be an app somewhere called tray-bake. PLEASE PLEASE let this exist.

fucking finally. have a headscale net (HEAD NET???) that actually works.

Learned some things.

packages >>> docker images for getting SElinux permissions to work.

tailscale client works better than the headscale one.

I probably should find a better way to store these pre-auth keys.

Fuck it. The headscale docker image just isn't working. Guess I'll try an rpm from a copr repo.

Yeah, redhat and arch derived distros have some variant of .deb unpacker. I used to frequently use one in redhat.

Tbh whatever distro you pick, Debian-based ones generally get the user-facing commercial software ports.

Proton is good if you pay for it. The free version not so much.

"we will only make one binary package, a .deb"

Just glad I flatpak got more popular than snap.

Iirc it works OK in linux provided the wine version is newer than like, 8.

Could be wrong though.

Age verification?

-I installed windows 3.1 from floppies

-I wanted a zip drive when they came out but wanted to wait to see which superfloppy would win (lol, none of them, all losers)

-I installed mandriva back when it was mandrake.

Bruh just use the Linux feed.

I also believe this is not really viable but I've been calling my reps cause I would like to not have to roll my own kernel on the regular.

Ah yeah.

I can see your frustration.

Ubuntu is a very GUI forward distro but system configuration inexplicably still requires manually adding repos for multimedia codecs.

I might use this tbh.

But I couldn't tell you if flatpak could launch Firefox the way you describe.

Due to the structure and decentralized nature of linux, laws like this are hard to enforce.

Not impossible though.

Also because of how Linux is, pretty easy to compile an OS without these features and distribute outside the USA.

What Linux OS are you using that entirely revolves around the command line?

Such distros are common but aren't usually what most people switch to.

Server Linux is so great. Way better than any other server OS's I've used.

Shit OBS or youtube has made a problem for me (probably my end TBH) so the livestream won't work on youtube. I guess I'll just record and upload.

Things will get weird when I'm....alone.
