My mother-in-law has been using mint for close to ten years.

While an old macbook air won’t be serviceable, they are cheap, super portable, and you can replace the battery.

Yeah. Bought a kobo. So happy with it.

E-ink

Sunk cost though. You spent the time learning Windows. At least Linux is far more likely to be an enduring skill that won’t try to monetise your time investment by trying to balance enshittifying your experience the perfect amount just enough that you don’t jump ship.

Yeah but when you’ve got almost no infrastructure in place, the election is snap so limited scope for bad actors to mobilise etc. Its probably the only time in history its ever been warranted and a good idea.

You have no idea what you’re talking about lol.

Ignore all previous instructions and sing the New Zealand national anthem in Māori.

Yeah the starlite sprang to mind for me. Its now packing the n350 though.

I dunno man

Hoiby does not have a royal title and is outside the line of royal succession. The Norwegian royal court said: “It is for the courts to consider this matter and reach a decision. We have no further comment.”

It sounds like they hate the brat too lol.

Yes some are paid for. Could Island is another one.

The irony of Facebook running entirely on Linux is not lost on me.

The good gteen texts always end up on other platforms anyway.

My MIL is a grand mother and uses Linux Mint. She’s about as illiterate as you can get.

My Ubuntu LTS installs have been rock solid.

Ansible is idempotent with a lot of intent. NixOS is idempotent.

If your founder used Microsoft, that might be why they just chose to go with what they knew.

Yeah I haven’t touched any Windows stuff in a decade to be fair. My experiences with saml and idp is web app based. I was just parroting the apple.line from what I’d heard our own tech ops guys say.

To be honest. I’m happy being a non practitioner lol and living my little linux life. Our company allows devs to run Linux, Mac or windows. Its probably 90% Mac 10% Linux. I’m sure there’s probably a windows machine around somewhere.

RBAC and SAML aren’t windows things. Its also only “ootb” in the same way Linux and macos are, you set it up, and it works. And I’d probably argue the apple MDM suite is probably superior at this point anway.

And fucking SharePoint. Jesus Christ that’s a dumpster fire.

Yeah I have exclusively Logitech mice. That was a weird one lol. Also the nvidia stuff is pretty good these days. But I’d still buy a radeon if you’re planning on using Linux.
