AI is now coming for your PC components.

Okay. We're gonna poke the bear.
We're currently on Windows 10 on all our machines. All our family members use it too. We're not going to upgrade to Windows 11.
We're sure there will be a Windows 12 at some point, with built-in stuff that we don't want and can't easily remove until someone hacks it out.
So, if we were to attempt to make a move to a Linux distro where:
we'd get a Windows-like experience (minus the shitty bits)
we didn't have to ever use a command line console except for very advanced tasks
all our PC games would run
we could find Linux compatible versions (or compatibility layers) for decades of WIndows-only software
... where the heck would we even start?
#Windows #Windows10 #Windows11 #linux #LinuxDistros
Edit: Thank you so far for all the helpful suggestions and replies! We seriously do appreciate this, as it gives us somewhere to start gradually researching over time!

Good morning Fedi friends! 🌈✨
Made it back to France and now I’m at my in laws’.
I forgot a wired keyboard at my parents’ in Italy and I only have a wireless keyboard and mouse with me, which were never paired to my Raspi. Mother-in-law came to my rescue and gave me an old wired mouse… and with #Ubuntu’s accessibility setting and on screen keyboard I was able to log in and connect my gear. Ouf!
Happy #Linux / #Raspi week to me (till I get home to Paris) 🐧
Now I had some powerful epiphanies yesterday, with my rickety Sharkey instance.
Sad to say that because it locked me out, and recovery codes aren’t working either, its fate is now sealed. I lost all trust in it and won’t spend any more precious time on it.
But this ONLY relates to my self-hosted Sharkey, which has been cursed from the start, not the software itself, which is WONDERFUL.
I’ll stop putting my energy on it and carry on with my plan (a quiet corner of the Fediverse) on @ruud’s calckey.world — which worked perfectly for me last year, when I was test driving Sharkey. Time to resurrect the account and set up monthly recurring donations.
Anyway, wishing you all a fantastic day!

My first application, Oboete - A simple flashcards application, has been released on Flathub.
The application is being developed with libcosmic for the COSMIC™ desktop.
Mittlerweile habe ich, ich weiß nicht mehr, wie viele #proxmox #Server und #Backup Server in Betrieb, ich weiß auch nicht mehr, mit wie vielen #Linux #Container|n #lxc und virtuellen Maschinen #kvm.
Darin laufen zudem #docker #portainer #dockge #kubernetes und noch mehr Instanzen, dass ich so langsam nicht mehr weiß, wie ich die alle administrieren kann.
Mal ganz abgesehen von den herkömmlichen öffentlichen Servern, die ein #upgrade benötigen.
#wordpress #nextcloud #phpwcms #theme #mariadb #mysql
Ich will seit Jahren #python lernen und komme keinen pups weiter.

Hey everyone! I'm looking to get #FediHired as a (senior) #RustLang developer! Remote preferred!
I have 13 years of software engineering experience, 5 of which with Rust!
If your team needs some additional people power, feel free to DM me and I'd love to have a talk or send my resume!
I'm well versed in most areas, from low level system/ #Linux stuff, all the way to high abstraction full stack web stuff!
✨ Boosts appreciated! ✨

Espero que vídeos como esse abram essa "janela" para mais pessoas conhecerem o GNU/Linux. Em 2022, quando descobri o "Tiling Window Manager" por meio da Cosmic, fiquei com entusiasmo semelhante:
Forget clunky software centers. Bazaar makes finding apps actually fun.
After jailbreaking my #kindle I decided to see what else I can do. Since it runs on #linux I was able to create a fetch utility to show some of the system information.
The project README is non existent at the moment but I’ll get that added when I get a chance.
