I’m guessing you don’t have your foreskin?

Why don’t you open an feature request on their git if you have an issue with volunteer work.

It’s funny thinking this guy uses a distro package manager potentially with unofficial patches applied to the package.

It’s always better to go that route. I also understand having hardware requirements and not being able to find a version of those models with Linux installed.

I like what system 76 is doing but I don’t think they really have competition in the US market right now. If you don’t mind a clevo and you live in the US I’d recommend them.

Don’t take it personally, it’s just a direction I haven’t seen many researchers/pen testers use. I’ve seen most run it on a virtual machine or a second computer and modify Ubuntu/Debian to better suit their needs and a primary computer/os for business transactions etc.

I can’t speak for hackers but from anecdotal evidence it seems like they can do their work on most systems but hacking hardware is just easier on Linux in general.

You mean that distro people use to pretend to be a hacker/security researcher. It’s just hardened Debian with a few tools installed. I’ve set something like that up in an afternoon tbh.

That good and all for your saints and what not but how about us sinners.

Some manufacturers allow you to get a refund for pre installed windows if you feel like sitting on the phone for hours. Something about a lawsuit involving Microsoft and anticompetitive contracts with the manufacturer not allowing the distribution of other operating systems.

I’ve seen a story about someone who got a refund for their dell laptop but it was slow, and the support staff was rude about it during the process. They stated things like the Microsoft software is free and why would you want to remove windows anyway, passing him from department to department. It’s often $60-$80 depending on the version of windows etc.

Edit: I should clarify it might only be a US thing, I’ve heard people in France having some luck.

Sadly the toy was recalled due to… Pushes glasses up nose “a lethal dose of radiation.”

The easier it is for onboarding the better, even if it includes proprietary software. The discovery of free or open source software will come when they start exploring what’s available on Linux and find workflows that suit them.

I like free and open source software but the freedom of choice is what’s really important in the end.

I can’t wait for it to come to arch!

Sometimes longer if there are bugs but yeah.

It’s ok, it’s called being a masochist. No one is judging you for using css.😆

10 year old games on a 4k OLED with maxed out settings is the best. Especially if it’s a game you can run above 60 fps.

Managers are always tied to their corporate overlords. Developers can choose to freelance and potentially make more while not having to stick around and maintain an aging codebase if they’re skilled enough.

Fair worning, I’m learning to program and I have zero experience in the industry. This is at most observations from what I’ve heard from others in the industry.

Weren’t are nukes controlled by IBM series/1 systems and floppy discs until 2019. They said they upgraded to a highly secure solid state system. They might be still using those computers for some parts of the system because “You can’t hack something that doesn’t have an IP address. It’s a very unique system — it is old and it is very good.”

Get a used /cheap phone or tablet, only turn it on or enable wifi when you need the app. Don’t use it for anything else. I think that covers all the bases.

It’s fun playing with local AI stuff. I’ve been playing with piper-tts and it’s fast on a modern system.

It’s not gonna fix my 5900x taking off like a jet engine when I launch 100 JavaScript heavy web apps.

It’s tough man, It just doesn’t feel good.

I finally picked up a steam deck so I can find more time to enjoy my library. It’s weird how your attitude changes when you start using your gaming PC for studying or work. I just don’t want to sit there for a few more hours after spending three or four working on something.
