Nectcloud has always been incredible slow for me. (And that’s beside other issues like updates failing more often than succeeding…)

And as I was using it mostly for basic filesharing between my machines and as a CalDAV/CardDAV server I replaced it with Syncthing and Radicale now.

I’m learning about this one right now, so I guess I basically missed this one, too, while being online for hours…

Arch comes without socks by default. It’s up to you which ones you install buy.

That’s my point. It would often just run so they go out of their way to not support Linux.

Probably… with many cases of “we could support Linux without any problem but we don’t do because we just don’t want to” included.

So one in five doesn’t do proper backups. That’s much better than expected… 😅

Isn’t that the whole point of containerised solutions? Having some pre-setup, auto-updating solution with very little requirement to dive into the details like what your database is and which dependencies you need to manage…

Middle and High school kids are flashing ROMs on their phone by themselves these days

No.

Some do. They other 98% are absolutely clueless and wouldn’t even know that there are alternatives to the stock OS. In fact they wouldn’t even know what an OS is or that “Android” isn’t a device brand.

Many are just like bad police. They care about showing off how well they work by catching someone. Doesn’t matter that there wasn’t a problem in the first place or that there are actual real problems that could use the ressources. As long as they can catch and punish someone (for purely imaginary stuff even…) to pretend how well they are doing their job they are happy.

Actually for many people rolling release is a cure for that issue because it’s the extensive version upgrades (that also like to fail) which often gets people to the point of reinstalling then trying another distro while being at it.

Then here is the right model for you…

Linux is Linux. What sets distros apart are basically the config and pre-install defaults and the package manager…

The latter is Portage, developed for Gentoo and used (among others) by ChromeOS.

The problem is that the people lacking those technical skills are struggling with Windows, too, but got brain-washed into believing that this is how it’s supposed to be. And they are somehow also the ones defending Windows bullshit the loudest because else they would need to acknowledge being wrong.

File permissions…

allowed to execute=1, allowed to write=2, allowed to read=4

grouped by owner/group/everyone.

So one of your own files you have full access to while users in your usergroup are only allowed to read it and nobody else has any permissions would have: 740 (read+write+execute / read / none).

As much as I despise Windows while also using archlinux/i3-wm as my daily driver…

Tiling is no rocket science. Basically every stacking window manager including Windows can do it well enough to be usable with just a few properly configured defaults and short-keys.

by factor of 3 obviously…

Nazis are only pro-power. Everything else is just a means to an end.

They don’t actually care who they are advocating against. There is only one constant: They are the ones at the top, destined to rule, and the masses need to be controlled by pitting them against some “enemy”. That enemy is always replaceable because it needs to be replaced every time they accidently “solve” a problem or need a change of narrative.

In simplified terms:

You are allowed to modify stuff but it is not actually changing the install as is.

This is achieved by different techniques like file system overlays, containerisation, btrfs snapshots and so on.

The idea is to replicate the classical behavior you know from embedded devices that have their core functionality in ROM with even firmware updates only overlayed or modern smartphones: You can modify your system but in the end there’s always the possibilty to “reset to factory settings” as in: the last known working configuration.

You are obviously not doing enough work with a full screen terminal being open… 😜

Compatibilty of Windows games in Linux have gone a long way, partly but also independently from Steam’s work on it.

In fact Linux nowadays supports more Windows games than Windows, as especially older games still work there but not on modern Windows anymore.

I will not pretend that there aren’t games with issues, but in the vast majority of cases that’s new games and for the simple reason that some publishers actively go out their way to prevent them from working on Linux (highlights being anti-cheat tech that Linux worked hard to make it compatible, yet with certain publishers intentionally not setting a simple flag needed to run, often with totally made-up “reasons” about Linux’ insecurity…).
