It’s trivial for you.

The average windows user has no idea what “Rufus” is, or how to enter the bios and change the boot priority

Very exiting. I’m looking forward to the day I can finally ditch Plex

I think you are the first person to ever have had issues with printers on Linux if you are surprised by them working on Bazzite. Printers are one of the things that almost always “just work” on Linux, and are only a driver headache on Windows

Yeah, I meant unlike with Linux you can’t change certain core functionality of your OS. Stuff like just entirely replacing the window manager for a different one. You can do a lot of powerful stuff with kernel extensions, but even those are limited (and apple made it a lot more complicated to install kernel extensions on Apple Silicon compared to how it worked on Intel Macs)

Mac isn’t really a walled garden in the sense iOS is without jailbreak. You can install unsigned code out of the box, have similar Admin privileges as on windows (but not as powerful as a superuser on Linux), and it integrates very well into an otherwise non-Apple household. You can use quickshare with android phones or windows PCs instead of using apple airdrop for example, which is something iOS users can only dream of

I prefer hackintosh over Linux on my Thinkpad, even though battery life is slightly worse (but still way better than it was out of the box with windows)

It also will automatically configure wine for you if you attempt to open a EXE or MSI file

A m4 macbook air is $800 and absolutely stomps every laptop even remotely in that price bracket

A lot of that can be said about RHEL too, yet I would call that Linux

Weird title. In what way is ChromeOS not the ChromeOS of Linux?

So you’ve only had 2 phones in the last 10 years? Impressive

Germany has that law and it doesn’t change anything. Although part of the reason why might be that no one actually brings their devices back, instead just throwing them in the trash

Well, it could be an executable disguising itself as svchost. Pretty common for malware or video game cheats to name their executables svchost.exe to hide from anti-virus/anticheat

If you have a dedicated WiFi 6E router for your VR headset I find it works better than with a wire

Setting up the server to be externally accessible was easy to me since I have lots of experience hosting stuff both from home and from VPSs. Although not as easy as with Plex of course, which will even automatically forward the ports for you if you have Upnp enabled in your router.

It’s the clients that are the issue. They are not as easy to use for less technologically inclined people, my dad already struggled with the switch from Netflix to Plex. And for many of my users there isn’t even a Jellyfin app available, like for older Samsung smart TVs for example

I host a plex server with at 90TB library for my family and friends, which are about 50 users atm. Jellyfin just isn’t idiot-proof enough that it can replace Plex for me, I don’t want to play tech support for all the users that can’t get the client working on their devices

its pretty fucking easy to use jellyfin on any device

Not easy enough for the majority of my Plex servers users to figure out on their own. I would love to switch away from Plex, but until the clients become as idiot proof as Plex I have to keep using it. Luckily I bought a lifetime plex pass a long time ago for GPU transcoding

Not yet. I run it as a daily driver on my Thinkpad.

But Apple is killing support for x86 Macs soon, which will also be the end of hackintosh

Yeah, anyone that has ever used Hackintosh, especially on a Laptop, knows that MacOS is much less resource intensive than Windows

I agree with your observations about the hairy or hairless part, but thin or muscular are not the only 2 body types men can have. You can be fat and not muscular, I heard it’s a pretty common body type in America

Software based emulators always have a bit of input latency. If you want the native experience you need an FPGA system.

Have you ever tried to set up a printer on Windows?

On Linux (and MacOS) they just work. No driver installation, no nothing. Just plug and play
