Linux Sys Admins, do you work on Linux or Windows office laptops? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, it is slow in the end, not native, many things to configure (like proxies) and so on...

Great! Was it hard also to switch to MacOS as a Linux user for work?

The worst part is it is not Windows fault. The pure kernel and the system without any bloat works great. I tried AtlasOS once and I felt bad for Microsoft engineers that their work is being spoiled with greed, bloat, enshititifaction. Everything was going smoothly and flawlessly.

But so many components are just... Hacky... Unnecessary... Just weird that it barely works especially so many companies don't know what they are doing. Then the dependency hell happens of this software.

Linux on the other hand is so much transparent.

Less bloaty? How much?

Yep, many people complain about Wayland and just graphic things in general. On Windows on the other hand sometimes I cannot click buttons. Example: unmute myself in Teams. Why? Because the docking station after some time cannot figure out where is the focus and also Electron sucks. And many other thing like weird behaviour with moving apps' windows from one screen to another.

How do you like it?

Yeah that's another thing that Windows can break in the same way as Linux.

For me it's

  • apt
  • vim / neovim
  • tmux / screen
  • Ansible
  • BAAAAASH
  • and some other commands that I use seldom but from time to time.

Yeah also I've seen some guys trying to have Windows OS with Linux VM. Or the opposite Linux OS with Windows VM for Office stuff. Sounds like a good agreement but with my barely working office laptop I don't think so. It would be nice to have out of the box image support of office Windows though.

Simple so you probably fine with that. I do a lot of automation so besides using Microsoft Office I feel like I'm being heavy with everything.

Oh my that sounds even worse than at my company. I don't understand also why disallow WSL. And yeah I don't think that this is laptop's fault anymore, just has been enshititifacted with software bloat.

I think I'm also in this group right now. Just not Windows...

It is always interesting to me that companies can afford new Macs but not use old laptops for Linux.

How have you automated configuring your machines in terms of packages and dotfiles so it works cross-distro? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I'm looking for interesting tools to automate managing packaging and configuring everything automated.

And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment so I for now know these:

  • Ansible - automating many machines, using different package names as vars and package managers.
  • Bash - the most native and compatible scripting language that can be.
  • Chezmoi - for dotfiles.

For now that's it. I'm looking forward for your suggestions!

What file systems are you using on your devices and why? (en.wikipedia.org)
 

I want to learn more about file systems from the practical point of view so I know what to expect, how to approach them and what experience positive or negative you had / have.

I found this wikipedia's comparison but I want your hands-on views.

For now my mental list is

  • NTFS - for some reason TVs on USB love these and also Windows + Linux can read and write this
  • Ext4 - solid fs with journaling but Linux specific
  • Btrfs - some modern fs with snapshot capability, Linux specific
  • xfs - servers really like these as they are performant, Linux specific
  • FAT32 - limited but recognizable everywhere
  • exFAT - like FAT32 but less recognizable and less limited

What Are the Best Ideas for Using LineageOS with Root and microG? (github.com)
 

I have OnePlus 7 Pro that I successfully flashed with LineageOS 21 with MicroG. Do you have some interesting apps or ideas to take advantage of it? I thought of some Magisk modules. Maybe someone is more experience than me! This is the spare smartphone, the main one is GrapheneOS, so I don't mind breaking stuff.

What is your favourite game with native Linux port? (factorio.com)

For me, it's Factorio.

a game in which you build and maintain factories.

It even has Wayland support!

(Version 1.1.77» Fri Mar 03, 2023 3:44 pm)

Graphics

  • Added support for Wayland on Linux. To enable it, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. (thanks to raiguard)

What's yours?

EDIT: Great Linux ports* not like some forced ports that barely work or don't.

Do you have your favorite Linux restoring / data craving tools for Linux? (lemmy.ml)
 

I found these: Scalpel - but no longer maintaned. PhotoRec - but I don't know how well it works with Btrfs.

Maybe you have something better.
