Technology@lemmy.zip•Criminal court ditches American software giant– Can Dutch universities do without Microsoft?English
31·17 hours agoThe article is talking about officeware, so documents, file sharing, chat and e-mail. My comment was about documents specifically. I’m sorry if your work is frustrating, but as a non-academic, what am I supposed to do, except vote for candidates that promote education? That’s been my priority from when I was old enough to cast a ballot.
Your university’s leadership failed you in the decades before today when they went for closed-source, foreign-controlled options. I cannot describe the stupidity of hosting research data on American services, a choice that to me points either to stupidity or bad faith.But the crux is still this: the best time to switch was the previous 30 years, the second best is now. Saying “we can’t do it!!” only lets the tumor grow and grow. Nobody’s expecting change overnight, what should be expected, though, is action.
Idk what’s that in the picture, but it’s not a horse

33·19 hours agoNo no, it’s literally that easy. When you do your taxes, do you do them your way, or the way your government requires you to? Why? There, that’s your answer.
Whatever beginner friendly distro you choose, I suggest you use it as if you were a grandma, especially if you have experience in troubleshooting Windows. It’s natural to try to find the solution to a problem by doing a Google search, but first of all Linux changes quickly, so solutions that are older than 2 years may be outdated, over 5 years they likely are, and they may apply to different distros than yours, so be careful. Always check your DE’s settings app first, those have gotten really good in the last few years.
Don’t be afraid to ask in chatrooms if your distro has any, the myth of the rude Linux community is just that, a myth.
Package manager. Package managers are responsible for managing your installed software. There are a variety of options, and distros typically will choose one as their default. Pacman for Arch, Aptitude for Debian, RPM for RedHat, and others. These are mostly interchangeable for the end user, but each has slightly different commands and frontends. So just be aware there will be a bit of an extra learning curve moving from a distro that uses one to a distro that uses another.
RedHat uses dnf, RPM is the package format.
Apt sucks, pacman is ok, dnf is the best, history and rollback are great.
That’s for sysadmins.
These days I don’t even care what fs I use, I just let the distro choose its default, I simply make sure encryption is enabled.

Why the hurry? She’s not running away, and if she were, then marrying wouldn’t solve that.

8·3 days agoI mean if you don’t want to use it you don’t need to find an excuse, just don’t.
Otherwise, Jellyfin has apps for TV, smartphones and so on; you input address, user and password the first time and that’s it.







I used to use arch btw, but then I grew old and moved to Fedora. Then I saw the light and installed Bazzite on everything, even my coffe machine. It’s got RGB now.
You should install Bazzite, save your soul.
