This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This is a huge opportunity. All of us Linux geeks now need to be on mainstream social media platforms and actively seek out and help everyone who expresses an interest in switching from Windows to Linux.
Let me save you the trip. I have an old trash spec hp all in one that's had the bag beat out of it, what is the best lightweight Linux distro to make this a usable web browsing and PDF file viewer? (To be used in my garage to look at FSM, wiring diagrams, play music, Google crap etc nothing demanding). I've tried mint and it works ok but thinking lighter weight ?
Damn Small Linux is very lightweight and comes with browser and PDF viewer preloaded. It doesn't have a GUI software installer though, so you will have to use the terminal if you need to install stuff.
Q4OS is another good potion
I installed MX Linux on an old tablet/ laptop with 2GB RAM AND 30GB storage. Works very well except for the webcam, but that's because the hardware is made so that only windows can use it correctly.
Welp... Linux it is, then
Have to admit, the name "Recall" does have a better ring to it than "Take a Screenshot Every 3 Seconds".
Overseas devs have had the random screenshot to prove productivity happening for a while now. There's a hundred ways around it. Most common is a second computer next to you dev machine.
One has to wonder if Recall just isn't as profitable as they had hoped.
if you don't know how, ask, Lemmy is covered in Linux users
I always “Recall” how shitty windows is, whenever I see the word mentioned.
I guess that means I have to break out the old GOATSE wall paper.
How long until Microsoft gets accused of stealing classified info?
Last time they thought about rolling it out, security researchers immediately found ways to do clear text exfiltration of user data.
This should be terrifying for anybody who is at all concerned about opsec for anything at all.
We live in weird age, where using Windows is becoming harder than Linux (even though it has its own issues).
We've been there for a long time.
Broadly speaking, outside of some specific niche workflows, Linux has been pretty easy for a long time, and Windows has a lot of unintuitive stuff that we only think is easy because we're used to it.
Linux and Windows certainly both have their failings, but it feels like Linux's generally stem from the lack of full time developers on projects, whereas failings in Windows often feel like a deliberate user-hostile choice.
