Never had this. It’s pretty much instanteneous.

That… Is literally how you do it. You install the system onto a subvolume. Or many, in fact - the way I do. Root, var, srv, home, opt all get their own subvolume. Only boot stays as a separate partition.

Fair enough, I may have misunderstood.

This is nonsensical. All this is doing is taking agency away from parents.

It’s a fairly common thing when it comes to abbreviations. B2B, B2C immediately come to mind.

And, to top it off - don’t beat yourself too hard. You’re one of today’s lucky ten thousand!

Yes!

In the most positive way - seek help.

Destroyed lives and whole towns is hardly a “no problem”. russia needs a good kick in the teeth, but these things are never free. I hope Europe is ready to finally stand up.

That’s not really the case. Have a look at AUR or GURU repo - most proprietary software is installed by simply applying the same steps an apt, dnf, whathaveyou package manager would.

It was meant as a tongue in cheek, not a dig at you :)

I think you missing just a few zeroes there.

I think you’re missing the point of what I’m saying. Unfortunately, words are difficult enough to produce for me, I don’t have a better way to express it.

Only answering your last paragraph. You will not, ever, find a 1:1 equivalent for a few reasons, but mostly because:

• Windows quircks do not have to be accomodated in Linux distros
• Microsoft has very much encouraged massive software where everything is done in a single application, whereas in UNIX world the philosophy is to do one thing and do it well.
• Not sure how DFS works, but with the myriad of networked filesystems available I’m sure there’s an exact requirement match.

Users can be centrally managed in a myriad of ways, but the most used software seems to be following the same X.500 standard - OpenLDAP, FreeIPA, etc.

Machines can be centrally managed via Puppet, Chef, etc.

Company software is managed by having your own repo.

SELinux can be used for incredibly granular access controls, but I can’t see most companies actually needing that.

To sum it up - you’ll always have trouble if you’re solving a windows problem in linux and vice versa. Just for a moment, try imagining a situation where you want to switch a 100% linux company to windows.

Of course they are moving ahead. A billion in EU buys many times less than the same billion does in russia. Furthermore, russia has never - at least in the last two-three lifetimes - acted logically. A failed/miscalculated/etc attempt at an invasion still brings death and destruction.

I’m no dev, but would you consider writing up in detail the features/behaviour you’re missing on libreoffice issue tracker?

A couple things - every jump like that in resolution is about a 10% increase in size at the source level. So 2K is ~250GB, 4K is ~275GB. Haven’t had to deal with 8K myself, yet, but it would be at ~300GB. And then you compress all that for placea like netflix and the size goes down drastically. Add to that codec improvements over time (like x264 -> x265) and you might actually end up with an identical size compressed while carrying 4x more pixels.

HDMI is digital. It doesn’t start failing because of increased bandwidth; there’s nothing consumable. It either works or it doesn’t.

Regarding link saturation - have you tried tc/wondershaper? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/28198/how-to-limit-network-bandwidth#28203

Iptables commands - that was needed at the very launch of wg, I’ve not had to deal with it for some time now.

Personal/commercial use - I’m on a completely opposite side. It’s perfect for personal use, but its lack of dhcp support makes me question its capability in a commercial setting. Many providers offer it, so clearly that’s not an insurmountable task, but I’m still curious how they sort out their backend.

There is no AI.

What’s sold as an expert is actually a delusional graduate.

I’ll give Magic Earth a go, but osmand is just missing a bunch of stuff I got used to having I guess. The actual map part is fine.

I use DAVx⁵ myself. It’s not ideal aesthetically, but honestly not a thing I worry about.

I’ve been hoping for one for some time, but it wouldn’t be a smooth sailing even if everything was perfect. Get a pixel, install grapheneos and see if you can cope with it. I’ve been running it for a year now - lack of decent map app is my biggest issue that’s left. Waze is great for driving, but useless for everything else; it’s also owned by google. Most other apps are just reskinned google maps and don’t even load without gapps.

And I’m a sysadmin. My degoogling journey began in 2018-2019 with running my own nextcloud for files, photo backup, contact and calendar sync, as well as my own email server. All that to say that I’ve had it fairly easy to ditch play store on a phone, but that’s not what most will experience.
