Very nice! Unionization is the only way to make employera care about workers rights.

Its sad but linux is still a second class citizen. Nvidea drivers have improved greatly over the years, but it can be still flaky especially newer ones.

Multi moniter support too, it has a history troubled with challenges. Its much much better than it used to be but sometimes there are setups and usecases which have problems. It used to be multiple monitors, just having them as a desktop, was impossible. Nowaday I can daily drive Linux and expect to have a good desktop experience across multiple monitors.

Mindyou, every windows update its a dieroll what breaks for my work surface labtop. Often my display or dock behaviour breaks or my bluetooth, or my networking. Not to excuse the bugs in linux, but to show that even MS on their own hardware have bugs like that. Pcs are hard and even MS can't do it flawlessly.

What you describe as simple multimonitor RDP might actually be a very complex task from a technology and display standpoint.

That being said, it totally sucks having a usecase and finding out that for you have problems getting there. I agree that Linux still has major hurdles for general adoption, (although again, it is so much better than it used to be). Look at it this way: if desktop linux had the same amount of money and development time thrown at it as Windows or MacOS, we'd have a very different experience.

As for tips. I recommend to dualboot. Use MS for your usecases that are not a good experience and use Linux for the other things. Keep checking in with the multiple RDP tech/workflow to see if it works. I did the same thing for years. The only reason I used windows was my games. For other things I used Linux and learned my way around the desktop while doing that. Eventually Proton came along and I could switch entirely.

Telling your coworker "Shut the fuck up?" Is not acceptable. The way communication happens matters.

In that case yes ofcourse. Why even ask. Pirating is illegal. Vpns are cheap. I can recommend Proton or mullvad

Bullshit. They make expensive electric cars because thats where the money was. Here in the eu tons of people want to drive electric, but at the prices they offer in this economy, they'll only reach the wealthy.

The only reason these "c level" directors and managers are coming out and saying this is because the easy money is gone and now they really have to innovate. Which is expensive.

Look at your usecase, if it really requires adobe suite, you are out of luck i'm afraid. Perhaps you could research running a VM or wine, but I havent tried any of that myself.

If you conclude that you dont need features exclusive to adobe you might be able to find a foss alternative.

Thats why I specified that, for me, that was enough to switch. I agree that proton isnt there yet and 100% compatibility, and we will probably never get to that. But there are enough games on the market for me to do 90% of my gaming on Linux these days.

Do it. With proton the last argument for me to use windows is gone (gaming).

I'd advise to use headscale on a vps somewhere. Its tailscale but selfhosted.

Havent read it, but probably: money and lobbying (so money and money really).

 

Im just starting out in my nixos journey. This thought came to me in the shower: would nixOS lend itself for a phone OS?

 

I have a domain and I use a hosted email I use a catchall email address to create an address on the fly for webshops and such. If they get conprimised or spam me I can block that email.

Is there awauy to have something like this for the new Identifier on the web: the phone number
