The day I don’t want to jump ship to the latest new tech is the day I stagnate into an old person

“when we try to use a tape measure to hammer in nails it doesn’t really work, so tape measures are useless”

So far every job I’ve had or seen the inside of has used teams

As with all things in business, good enough is king

I actually don’t mind it being web based, there are a lot of web based tools that run perfectly fine and don’t use that much resource

Teams is generally stable for me running the pwa in Microsoft edge nowadays too

I switched a while ago.

Full office suite works fine on web including teams

I had switched to vscode from visual studio anyway so that wasn’t an issue

The only big thing I think is missing now is Photoshop (krita and photopea exist) and games that have intentionally prevented themselves being run in Linux, which is a pretty good reason to vote with your wallet anyway imo

I do kinda miss being able to fuck around in Roblox every now and again but oh well

Fact of the matter is that it will become the norm m because cheap > quality in our system

I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be it doesn’t change how Linux works at runtime does it?

What is the actual evidence trump wants to end democracy? I’ve only seen an out of context clip so far

Generally hardware compatibility should be identical across all distros, as most drivers are baked into the kernel

The exception being Nvidia drivers, you have to install those yourself pretty much everywhere

Lowest maintenance possible is probably gonna be bazzite as people are saying

The anticheat thing is a pain

No, I apparently missed that but

Nix is the best solution anyway imo

Personally I’ve been using outlook via pwa for months anyway

If they’re gonna put it in an electron container anyway you be may as well cut out the middleman and just use the web app Microsoft’s ones are actually quite good now

I thought outlook had been electron for a while

I’ve been using the outlook pwa on Linux for some time with no issues, maybe try that instead if it’s causing problems for you on windows?

Usually the reaction you’ll get trying to convince someone to use an operating system when they don’t know or care what an operating system is

I’d like to interject for a moment, what you’re referring to as Linux is actually gnu/linux/churbleyimyam

Makes it work universally, even if the gui isn’t made with a standard toolkit

Also it’s ai they don’t care about efficiency

I don’t think DE really means much for security, your biggest concern is always going to be the software you run having the same privelages as you (IE filesystem access)

This is a great middle ground suggestion

If you have a laptop and a desktop put it on the laptop fully rather than dual boot

Until proton came out I kept dual booting but I always ended up booting into windows because I didn’t know how to do x on Linux

When I just wiped windows completely and put it on my laptop I distro hopped for a bit but never went back

Ended up switching my PC over too after about 6 months and I no longer own any windows machines, nor feel the need to besides the odd firmware upgrade of a peripheral or something

True, I used bluestacks once or twice and concluded it was bloated and possibly dodgy so never really used it
