From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Veeam endpoint backup. The GUI does not exist and the cli version does not work with Fedora 41 and btrfs. I think it is the file system that is not supported. However, I use timeshift but it is not sending it remotely.

Ohhh yeahhh Same :(, especially am a nvidia user and way droid only supports wayland and only amd and intel gpus.

I can run waydroid but it hasn't been as good as bluestacks at all, + it doesn't have the toolbars and keybinds it does sadly.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And there is no in game controls and stuff compared to bluestacks aswell.

I'm about to switch from Windows back to Ubuntu, which I ran for a year or two but I missed Photoshop and Visual Studio. I've been using VSCode for dev work for a while and it's fine, and I can live with Gimp. I haven't used Office in years (Google docs & sheets are great). So I really don't expect to miss anything this time.

You could try running them with wine. I have done so with Photoshop but it was pretty long ago and it was not a subscription version of Photoshop, but maybe vs will work out for you otherwise you could try rider all my colleagues who did the switch after some learning curve loves it a lot more than vs. It is faster and resharper doesn't slow down like it do with vs.

Not something I use personally, but a super easy, #JustWorks kiosk mode.

It's the only thing I think Windows does better than Linux.

Don't get me wrong, you can turn Linux into a great kiosk device, but it takes a lot of technical labor.

In the IT space, I often need to set up a basic kiosk device for HR portals, safety training stations, etc. In Windows, this takes 5 minutes tops.

If I had the programming chops, it would be my #1 project to work on. Even if it only worked with a specific DE or distro, I would be alright with that, as long as it was as easy and quick to set up as Windows Kiosk mode.

I havent needed to stup kiosk mode (yet), but whats challenging about it? I always wondered why would people put up with Windows on these kiosks, instead of a simple Linux OS?

There are window managers / compositors, which fulfill kiosk mode, ex. Cage.

HDR support and good VR support.

I suppose another way to say that while also outing myself as a real corporate shill is “better Nvidia support”

Hdr works on:
Kde.
Gamescope (can maybe be used for hdr if you don't wanna use KDE)
Hdr is currently being worked on for gnome.

HDR support is there in KDE Plasma 6, works flawlessly for me

Functionality is a program by program thing, at least Wayland.

Windows has spell checking and autocomplete that works in pretty much any app and I think it works really well. I often find that I can type sentences a lot faster in Windows.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Their grammar checking though, insufferable when you use complex sentence structure.
