Is it finally the year of the Linux desktop? If it’s ever going to happen this has got to be the catalyst…

People don't care about being surveilled or else every year for the past decade+ would have been the year of the Linux desktop.

There have been bad developments over the past twenty years for shure, but this shit is in overdrive now and it's frankly disturbing even to older geeks. We'll see worse encroachments on privacy and the personal space in the next five years than we've seen the past twenty.

And there's still a time after that... 😳

It's a terrifying thought. When the Prism NSA program broke news a decade or so ago I thought it was so far beyond the pale that surely it represented the worst encroachment on our privacy that I could conceive.

Apparently I lack in imagination 😬

Probably not... Some things are too complicated. We're getting close though as most apps are now web apps.

The year of the Linux desktop was 2010. That's when it became usable to the point of being better and more efficient that MS Win.

The linux desktop was always better, still use fvwm2 on most machines.

Just don't use shitty software like adobe or ms office and you're fine.

Thing that hindered linux desktop most was the unwillingness of people to pay 50$ for non-free printer drivers, that's my ipinion.

I've been using Linux off and on since the late 90s as a desktop. It's...not for everyone. Honestly, the best Linux desktop for the average person is Chrome OS. I personally enjoy Elementary OS and Linux Mint.

I disagree. I think #Linux #Mint cinnamon is for everyone. Just remember to run #Timeshift before installing new programs or braking the system. Timeshift is like system restore in Windows..🐧

Linux Mint is the best for the average user. Chrome OS isn't really Linux.

Yes and no. It was still a little rough around the edges. And if something broke it was difficult to fix. #Linux #Mint cinnamon with #Timeshift is pretty polished today..🐧

Switching hardware or software for most people is like upgrading to a house with better heating or plumbing. It’s definitely necessary at some point, but the friction of the actual move makes it a very slow transition.

How do I uninstall copilot?

Thank you very much, fren. 🫂🥰

Do you trust that it will really be off?

run Linux

#Linux #Mint cinnamon. Master that, then you're good to go with any Linux distribution. Be sure to use Timeshift religiously until you really know what you're doing..🐧

I don't trust windows. Never. But I feel compelled to use it for my compulsory use of a particular software, Cakewalk, a DAW, for doing music. I don't find a full-fledged and free DAW on Linux.

Someone help me in this regard, please! 🙏

It's actually humiliating to use Windows. 😥 It stinks. I gave windows up altogether for years.. But I had to get back to it only for music.

Linux Links is a good place to get info on what's available for Linux with reviews and rankings.

Here's the DAW page:

Plebs helpin plebs. Now back to open source OS for you ser. break the shackles and be a lil more free

Use Linux. You don't need MS for anything. I haven't used MS in almost 20 years.

Nuts.

What amazes me is his brazen description of a surveillance panopticon being a good thing!

My response to his post:

Seems highly regarded.

Insane. Not surprised though. So many people ngmi

He is the dumbest smart person to ever exist.

Worse than Nassim Taleb? 😆

Fair point 😂🤣👍🏻

If Microsoft does something that oversteps personal and ethical boundaries, it's because it's in Microsofts interest to do that thing.

All other priorities rescinded.

Man Jason is off the mark in so many topics. it’s insane

It's intentional.. it's not like he doesn't know exactly what he is saying.

i wonder how munch time they will go like : If u dont verrify your microsoft with a phone number u are out of our services (this include games and drivers).

Wow. Who is this guy and which company does he work for, so I can avoid any advice they may throw my way.

Hate is a strong word... but I really dislike the vibes I get from this guy.. he appears to be a rather incompetent deep state asset

They could have at least given him a mac. I wonder if he got orbed? seems like the type

Windows is a pre-installed keylogger. 😂

Feds from the start.

Thats right. And they can’t funglepleef us! We know!

we are funglorians. can't funglepleef a funglorian. trust the science.

Much worse..😐

So we just listen to windows users uncritically now? Windows users? rilly? I mean it has its place but you dont get to give advice about operational infrastructure or data management or security ever at all. .. never. Unless things have changed and suddenly all the freedom lovers run windows now? ffs its in the name. they are looking in your windows.

The reason this is stupid and for surveillance is because they could have put a private on-device AI
