An octopi is a fun project, for mine I printed a new internal enclosure for the mainboard that has mounts for the pi, so the printer is completely integrated with it (never did finish setting up the internal power routing to power it directly off the power supply, but that’s also completely doable)

This.

We did get pissed off, then turned on a GPO to block it

If most of your games are on Steam, it makes the transition super smooth (with only a few exceptions I’ve had so far, and none that I’ve been unable to get working with a bit of tinkering)

Wait, you’re telling me they aren’t?!

My whole life has been a lie…

Just going to say, I do those things too, on Linux, and while I can’t say I never have to mess with config files, it’s not frequent. And, the computer acting like it’s my computer rather than on loan from a megacorp is nice.

It’s not all the way there yet but it’s so very close and the bits that are still pain points aren’t nearly as bad as the pain points of Windows.

As the other commenter said, you should give it a serious try. Mint is very smooth overall.

Looks like pure hated to me, but I’m not great at reading expressions and may just be projecting my own feelings…

“Why would I pay $25 for these pair of pants at full price when I could pay $24.99 for those [identical] pants that are half off?! Clearly, that’s the better deal!”

Hell, could probably even make it $29.99 for the identical pants and people will still go with that because they think they’re paying five more bucks and getting a $60 pair of pants

Honestly, I’d be cool with that

Ooh, that actually doesn’t sound bad… Slightly tart sweet with the salty tang of the sauce, maybe with a kick of spice from jalapenos… I’ll have to give that a try sometime

ETA: I missed that it said “pasta” rather than “pizza”, but my comment stands

Thanks, I’ll check that out!

I wasn’t asking about a Linux client for Teams, I was asking about an open source alternative to Teams

Are there some open source Teams alternatives you’d recommend?

Debian doesn’t have sudo by default, you have to install it manually

Not sure what they mean by “non Ubuntu variants” though since most other distros add it even when they aren’t Ubuntu based

“You’re absolutely right, we wouldn’t want to take too long to break the network or open god rights vulnerabilities”

So, basically, just like Windows? Sounds like they’re succeeding then

I love that mentality to development

If it has a buffer overflow exploit that caused it to execute arbitrary code is his response that people shouldn’t be sending that much data into that port anyway so we’re not going to fix it?

(I feel like this shouldn’t require a /s but I’m throwing it in anyway)

Fedora with Flatpaks is open and up front about whether you’re getting a Flatpak or a system installed package, and lets you choose if both are available. And installing through dnf/yum isn’t going to do anything at all with Flatpak.

And what about Debian with debs? That’s literally what apt was designed to work with. If it gave you Flatpaks, or the flatpak command installed debs, that would be more like what Ubuntu is doing.

The fact that Canonical shoehorned snaps into apt is the problem. I’ve heard bad things about snap, but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never used it, and I never will because of this.

When I tell my computer to do one thing and it does something completely different without my consent, that is a problem, and is why I left Windows. I don’t need that in Linux too, and Canonical has proven they can’t be trusted not to do that.

In many respects, I think the scare manipulation they’re pulling when someone updates their system up try to get them to buy their subscription service is worse, implying that they won’t be getting all of the security patches they need otherwise

If you have Ubuntu installed in the room, then yes

Last time I loaded up Ubuntu, considering it for a server, the moment I saw that, I deleted the VM and took it off my list permanently

I have no interest in that kind of manipulative BS
