Damn. This must be one of the most terrifying cyber attacks of all time. Like, Mr. Robot level of breach and execution.

In that show they rig the UPS batteries of server buildings to blow up, this is basically the same idea on a smaller scale.

Either that, or they compromised the manufacturer of the pagers and put small explosive devices in there. Truly legendary and insane.

Ah, the city of Volos, who elected the same mayor three times in a row.

The mayor, Achileas Beos, of course denied any responsibility and blamed everyone else.

He's also a nightclubs owner and sports team owner convicted and jailed for setting up match results for betting schemes, has publicly beat up a bunch of people and threatened to beat up a bunch more and when confronted about it by the media said "So what, you want us to behave like fa***ts?".

Last year, under the same guy's watch, there was a massive flood and the response to it was abysmal, he did the same thing, blamed everyone and yet people of Volos still support him. If the election was today he'd still mayor tomorrow.

Greece will be greecing forever more

Mainly Kali for my needs, completely hassle-free on VMware but any ARM version should work.

Want me to try a particular distro as a test?

I dunno if that counts, but I was given a Macbook Air M2 from work that I didn't need and I've been happily running macOs on it for simple daily use.

Whenever the situation requires Linux I fire up one of 3 distros I have as a VM and they work like a charm. I pass-through one of the USB ports to the VM and it's basically an M1 with Linux at that point in terms of performance (well not really, but it's very smooth, no complaints).

Might wanna go that route instead, just run macOs natively and your favorite distro as a VM.

"We are the default country" lol get outta here!

You've been down voted to shit in this whole thread, I wonder who "everyone else" is exactly?

I don't see USA mentioned anywhere in that comment. I assumed it was a joke about the "overly polite Canadian" stereotype.

YOU assumed it was about the states cause you know the average American is batshit crazy

One way to do it is for each company to develop their own flavor to ship with their laptop, in much the same way phone manufacturers just modify Android and ship it.

As an example, check out System76 and their laptops featuring their Pop!_OS distro, which is very user friendly and stable in my experience.

3 short for now

This is a measure designed specifically to reduce the amount of things that make an impact

We're in the days of Intel's top chips degrading themselves in a matter of weeks due to thermals being simply unmanageable under anything less than a beefy 360mm AIO or custom loop cooling at stock settings

Am sysadmin, can confirm I don't wanna learn it.

Non tech savvy people don't install windows or macos either. Everything comes pre-installed with the machine you buy.

If you make it to the point where you kinda know what Rufus and an iso file are, Pop! OS and Mint are easier to install than Windows.

I suppose a program could be made that partitions your OS drive and installs a distro on the second partition with a dual boot selection screen on next boot, but if you're at the point where you're curious enough about Linux to try it, you've probably learned enough to use Rufus and an iso file.

The answer is system integrators need to pre install and actively support one of the more friendly distros (like Valve with SteamOS on the deck) or it'll never catch on.

Simple users don't care what OS you present them with, as long as it's already there and it's easy to use.
