Power company engineer here, it’s true that a lot of our supporting and analytics software went down during the AWS event.

However, most devices that actually control grid units (called bulk electric system cyber-assets) are air-gapped or utilize a data diode.

FERC Reliability Standards and NERC CIP

However-er, flipping through those standards just now, turns out it’s 100% permitted to connect your “bulk electric system cyber-asset” to a cloud integration if done compliantly.

I also used to pronounce Gnome this way.

I’ll add I used to say “deb eye ann”, for Debian

And used to say “uh lie us”, for alias

I didn’t have a lot of people to talk about Linux with lol

Unfortunately still have to use W11 for some anti-cheat games I play with friends :(

But being forced to update to 11 motivated me to come back to Linux on a PC. I already have a little homelab with all the flavors, but was wondering how it would game on my desktop.

Ultimately went with Debian + KDE on a second SSD, and it’s just awesome. Especially coming from WSL on my desktop, it’s just so seamless.

Had a little trouble getting Nvidia drivers for my relatively new card (Debian’s latest proprietary driver still didn’t support it lol), so I had to use the official Nvidia repo. And it was a little tricky signing it for Secure Boot, but other than that, awesome.

Need to run better side-by-side tests, but it at least feels like a 10% or so performance improvement.

Thank you Linux! And fuck Fortnite, release a Linux port already!

Here’s a great site to do exactly this!

Can’t comment on Linux compatibility. But on my windows PC I use a Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro. Really like it so far, no major issues, pretty good battery life.
