I used to work in a public institution and I can’t fathom how this could be done until 2027. There’s just so much cruft hinging on .doc and .docx files. Maybe for entirely new processes if software enforces this.

Tried Manjaro and Opensuse for a presentation machine lately: issues over issues, that just shouldn’t exist on new installation (problems with USB disks, input). Came back to Debian asap because Debian, weirdly, "just works ™ now.

Thank you for this great service!

Actually, if Linux/BSD/… doesn’t work the way I want it to, I can always tweak it. Win or Mac? Tough luck. So Linux’s usability is always there, whereas the proprietary OS’s quickly hits a very hard, annoying wall.

Soo, booting your computer from someone else’s computer?

I mean we’ve had thin clients and PXE for ages?

DDG has also gotten much worse since the introduction of AI features.

Ehrlich wäre zu sagen: wir lebten und leben immer noch in einer teils pädophilen Gesellschaft, da haben sie alle mitgemacht. Klar kannst Du auf Kirchen (Mehrzahl!) zeigen und Du hast recht. Aber alle anderen Lebensbereiche ausblenden ist nicht.

Hintergrund: ich arbeite im Sozialbereich und kenne bei allen die Leichen im Keller: Kirchen, Kommunen, freie Träger…

It used to be somewhat better: Corel Linux and Creative apps existed…

Pädophilie ist leider ein historisch endemisches Problem in Deutschland: Kirche, Vereine, Staat (Schulen, Heime, Fürsorge), alle haben mitgemacht. 1 Sündenbock dafür ist zu billig.

Das liegt am Staat, nicht an der Kirche!

Thank you for the info! Otherwise I would have missed the deal. The affinity suite is the best thing since Photoshop 5.0

2008 ultimate

I’m still consulting my venerable encyclopaedia britannica dvd until this day. It works great under wine and actually does not work under a current version of windows anymore.

I had the Mandrake Powerpack that came with two books. I basically memorized the entire console handbook while on the loo…

Gretlat that they’re making progress! aTM windows still flicker or fail to show content. I’d love to use it in production later this year maybe …

I am dependent on a couple of programs I run via wine - and wine still isn’t directly compatible with wayland and buggy with xwayland…

It’s actually worse! Last jan Microsoft bricked the entire fleet of laptops in my company with a borked generic driver update. It overwrote the sd reader’s vendor driver blocking all storage access from working whatsoever. From one week to another more or less all devices refused to boot. They basically killed our entire company for half a week, until IT could walk people through efi-disabling the sd reader in every laptop (recent industrial models mind you) just because windows had pulled in the wrong driver. So… no - it’s not great at all with automatic driver installation in windows …

Emacs ist doch die Kirche des heiligen Ignutius

Thanks I might try that. Unfortunately I can’t mount everything at boot, because that would take forever with some slow NAS around the network.

Yeah, though I presume I’d need to set xdg values so mounted shares through nautilus will show up in programs/interfaces. I’ll look into it, thanks.
