Absolutely

I really think the cartel offices need to do something against Microsoft.

Hey, don’t attack me for it. I’m aware that the admin problem is a hen-and-egg problem but it doesn’t change the fact that the shit show works enough to justify not switching for basically everyone.

Problem with enterprise Linux is that they feel experimental to the people in charge.

(About the AD, yeah, I didn’t know about it to that degree, all the end user systems I manage are winass, even though I manage a number of Linux Servers for specific purposes)

Yeah many in house personal IT from businesses is… Semi capable, they are enough for first and partially second level support, I know some petty good ones but I’m working as a service provider for second and third level support and coordination of specified support (Microsoft, Telecommunications providers, ISP, security management etc.) and I made very similar experiences. But most they do all they is first level support anyway, at last in small and medium sized IT environments.

Hm, wasn’t aware of that, but that’s probably because I can’t work with Linux on that level, I knew Linux had some AD capabilities but I don’t know how far they go and how scalable they are.

The problematics with the admins is still there however.

Im not aware of any Active directory type server system for Linux.

Another problem is the second and especially third level support. That is pretty rare for Linux, there aren’t many Linux ready Sysadmins.

lol

There isn’t much to learn most need to open work programs and thats it, its mostly a problem with management and convincing the managers of a company to part ways with winass.

Managers are also the worst with computers. And they are the most likely to get viruses.

Sadly Linux lacks central administration possibilities wich is why winass is business standard.

The most I work with restart, but I think you can configure it in the bios.

At that point you can just hard restart as well. Most motherboards accept 10 to 15 seconds of power button as “my OS is fucked please help” and restart the machine for you.

Because that’s better for the software, Linux however kills it outright when it doesn’t respond at all. Windows just… Waits. And you can’t really hardkill the processes from the task manager. Or at last my last knowledge is that.

Cool as in interesting information, not cool as in cool to kill your wife.

Thanks for the link, seems interesting.

Oh cool.

What?!? I need some more context please.

When the interface laggs it sounds like it needs a firmware update or its just faulty as i said, I’ve not seen such a problem as described myself.

Huh? The interface lagged? Wow, im doing remote “maintenance” on these for companies, I’ve never had such a problem, even with the smallest one.

The setup is a little work to get into, but Sophos does have a very good wiki for everything, the help button does actually help for them, and if not the support is always helpful even for seemingly small problems. They also have their own forum where you can get help for specific problems from the community

For the ipv6 to ipv4 problem, i doubt its capable of that, you probably need an extra system for that, i haven’t run into that issues myself but i seriously doubt it, even for the bigger ones and clusters.

I just have a small Sophos Firewall at home, it does the job very well, but its a little expensive compared to free versions.

I get it for free because i do business with them.

The actual system requirement is a TPM 2 chip for encryption (wich is bullshit and can be turned off with Rufus) for other system requirements it feels better optimized than win 10 but that might be a personal feeling.

Nah its a surface book
