It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.

I use freerdp with Wayland, works OK.

You wish. Most tech companies will get you the cheapest laptop they can get away with.

I remember being denied a 64bit laptop when developing a 64bit only application lol.

I have several clients with this kind of setup. I’m always baffled at the amount of hoops I have to go through to connect to my Linux server. Sometimes I have to remote desktop to a windows virtual desktop and then use the citrix session to another windows machine VIA BROWSER so I can finally ssh to the machine. Are they trying to bore attackers to death?

Just go ahead and write a very basic working kernel in rust.

I don’t get this stance, really. If I want to write a driver in Rust I should start by creating a completely new Kernel and see if it gains momentum? The idea of allowing Rust in kernel drivers is to attract new blood to the project, not to intentionally divert it to a dummy project.

Rust is sufficiently different that you cannot expect C developers to learn rust to the level they have mastered C

If you watch the video, no one asked anything from the C developers other than documentation. They just want to know how to correctly make the Rust bindings.

Note that Rust is not replacing C code in the Kernel, just an added option to writing drivers.

In the company I work with you can use whatever you want but I’m the only one using Linux :(

KDE has “”“tiling”“”. They called it tiling but it’s just god awful. If KDE had real automatic tiling, I would probably have sticked with it, to be honest.

I’m not really invested in Cosmic, I’m happy with Hyprland and will continue to use it.

I do think they did a REALLY nice job with the tiling. I don’t think you can find a more intuitive and user friendly tiling window manager. Something that’s not absolute barebones out of box and can be configured entirely with a GUI. In that regard it does bring something to the mix and is very very welcome.

I had a teacher who was really passionate about Ubuntu and was distributing Ubuntu 5/6 live CDs. I ended up installing it on my laptop. It was a pretty miserable experience. Everything was ugly as hell, configuring the sound card was a pain, Wi-Fi drivers had constant problems, upgrades to the new x.04/x.10 version borked the system 100℅ of the time. Pretty miserable but got the job done.

Nowadays the experience is much, much smoother. Just ensure you don’t need exclusive software.

I wasn’t able to set up a reverse tunnel, because I’m also under a corporate VPN :( I was able to get xfreerdp to work, though! Maybe I can add some port-forward + tunnels and be free :P

I can use it, just not very efficiently.

Ideally, I can set port forwards/tunnels so that I can then work from my machine’s terminal.

Here’s how I got mine:

1. Go to the web version: https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html

   • You should have a list of machines, in my case I only have one

2. In the top right corner, click on the settings icon (cog)

3. Under “Resources Launch Method”, select the `Download the rdp file" radio option

4. Click whatever machine you want to access

5. The file started to download

This worked perfectly, thank you so much. Now let’s check if I can add some port forwarding through this…

In arch it’s xfreerdp3, just in case anyone needs it.

My favorite movie is the Matrix (the first one). Gutted by what they did in the sequels.

Favorite genre is definitely Fantasy, love the world building in these movies.

A couple of years ago, in Portugal, there were more couples looking to adopt than “viable” children up for adoption. While your statement makes total sense, it may be a insensible option on your country. Make due research!

If I developed a Linux app I would absolutely package it as a flatpak. If a package is in pacman, however, I see no reason to use the flatpak version instead.

I had the opposite experience. I have been using EndeavourOS on my desktop since November, zero issues. This weekend I’ve been distro hopping on my old MacBook pro and almost every distro had a problem. Some didn’t boot, other had wifi issues, trackpad issues, keyboard volume keys not working, high CPU usage… EndeavourOS was the only one I tried that just worked out of the box with no issues

EndeavourOS has been a wonderful experience for me, can’t recommend it enough.

Since when does EndeavourOS supply a GUI package manager? They don’t even have Discover installed out of the box.

I don’t think it’s more confusing than Arch, if you know how to maintain Arch then you’re not gonna have any trouble at all.

I agree that their eos popup is a bit meh but you can just press the “Don’t show me again” button and be done with it

EndeavourOS is basically Arch with an easy installer and reasonable defaults. Don’t expect it to be more than it is!
