Ahh I see yes that’s better.

Which is a bad thing if your user is in the sudoers or wheel group

Suggesting NixOS to a completely new user is stupid. NixOS is cool but very different from almost all Linux distros. Comes with its own language you have to learn as well.

Thing is. Mint is for the most part a just works distro. Based on Ubuntu it is very easy to find help for it. Combine that with a load of sane defaults like disabling snaps. The default UI and theme could defiantly use a facelift

Because when a ad gets served true the same domain as the content you can not block it. DNS filtering Is good but not a magic bullet

For music. I use navidrome. It works a load better then jellyfin for this IMO. You can use the same file location for both jellyfin and navidrome if needed.

Sounds like you are a data hoarder haha. Can’t blame you. But for such hobby’s perhaps a ZFS system with deduplication and a second ZFS system to use for backup of the first system is what you want.

Does get costly though.

Can someone give me a tldr about why the hate towards Pewdiepie? I have not followed him in absolute years.

Oké grandpa, its time to take your meds

The tux logo at boot is due to a kernel option. You can enable this if you like.

Ripping straight from tidal and self hosting with navidrome 😁

Well yes but if you are migrating almost anything to Linux. this might be worth while over expensive windows infrastructure.

That is with any piece of software. their will always be some vulnerabilities that are very bad. so by your definition using any piece of software is a concern.

For such a setup I think it Is a good idea to look in to freeipa/idm. Would make management a load more easy. centralized account control and being able to sit at any PC and login with your own credentials is one of the many benefits.

A load of those so called vulnerabilities are way overblown and in most cases require you to be logged in anyway.

Seems like Android is following Windows 11s path…

I mean blow out of proportion nowadays yes. But this wasn’t the case just a few years ago. We have come such a long way to make it almost a simple click install. But dont forget where we came from.

So their is some truth to it although its mostly outdated now.

Your work laptop most likely is domain joined and controlled. Which I surely hope has bitlocker enabled.

Geeez these comments guys…

So even if you like or dislike pewdiepie. I think him showing of Linux is good. Getting more people to realize Linux exist and is a viable alternative to Windows or Mac is a good thing.

Manjaro. It broke a few times. Then I used plain arch ca 2 years without anything breaking. (Their was no guided installer yet)

The last 2 years I have been happy with opensuse Tumbleweed. Of course I have experiment a bunch of others too. Including running distros on servers.
