Whatever the actual numbers, it is not unrealistic that Linux will emerge as the second operating system after Windows, especially given Apple’s currently confusing sense of direction.
curious for a 27 year old article how accurate it turned to be (androidOS notwithstanding). Windows seems to still be the “2,000-pound gorilla” but there are other options available these days…
Have you checked out OpenSUSE MicroOS at all? It’s similar to Silverblue. Runs great on my Framework 13 with Intel 13th Gen.
I wouldn’t be too concerned with “officially” supported Linux on the Framework. It is a very Linux friendly machine. The folks they have supporting Linux are active in the Framework forums and very helpful.
I eventually went back to my tried and true Debain. I loved the immutable OS thing for all the reasons people have listed here. My one issue was direct access to external devices can be a pain. IE: I just could not get USB passthrough working with virt-viewer after all my fiddiling.
Wow, big memory trip! It was os/2 warp, I saw that package and knew it!
Dad worked for IBM in the 70s, no surprise. I also remember him having an OS box with a penguin on it but I don't believe he ever installed it. ~95ish.
I do not, but only because I use ProtonMail and don’t have premium so I don’t have IMAP/SMTP bridging.
I used it all the time back around 2011/2012 and it was pretty great, but that was admittedly a long time ago so I imagine lots have changed since them.
I think there isn’t really something “authoritative” in Git. You can upload your changes somewhere or another developer can download changes from you. You can also all make incompatible changes and then you won’t be able to sync it anymore (you’d need to fix that first and manually handle the conflict). There’s nothing authoritive in it. In practice most people choose a central place and all upload their changes there and everybody else regularly pulls them from there. But you could as well directly do it with the computer of your colleague if you have a network connection and access to it. Files including history of changes are the same on every machine and server. (If they’re all up to date). It’s like storing a directory including past versions on 10 different computers.
For me it’s good, let’s me leave emails on the server so my desktop can read them too. Let’s me reply below or above and compose in ascii. Doesn’t impose ways of working I don’t want.
Used to. Prefer Aquamail. I’m a thunderbird user on my workstation though. The latest changes were controversial, but it’s fine once you enable the system title bar and hide the menu bar.
