ChromeOS and Android both prove that you CAN provide an experience sans terminal.

I think anything with flatpaks or snap store will be in a pretty good spot

lol mine is like 76GB. have been running the same install for going on 9 years now

redhat provides enterprise support for Linux.

my very large tech company heavily uses Linux (and I personally have both a Linux laptop AND desktop).

it’s not the easy path, but when it happens it is so nice

a duress password typically wipes the device when entered.

so the data would be destroyed

give them the duress password gg

staying on an end of life unsupported programming language does not spark joy.

open source projects are (often) maintained by unpaid volunteers. unpaid volunteers doing something for the passion of it often don’t want to build with one hand tied behind their back

python 2 to 3 is actually an enormous change

it’s quite modular. I would argue that each individual component does follow that ethos

I mean, that entirely applies for self hosted git as well

why not zsh? that’s why I switched from fish

if you’ve ever used one then you know that that is indeed it

it is unusable

I’m glad it works for you, but this would not work at my company. We have much stricter network controls

Yeah, go ahead and install your own Linux distro. Now you can’t authenticate to the internal network or use any of the services.

At the end of the day, corporate being able to manage Linux is what makes it possible to be used in an enterprise environment. There are regulatory and auditing requirements that would otherwise make Linux not an option.

Many of us find ourselves to be more effective on Linux. There is some business requirement in terms of the service runs on Linux, but they didn’t have to let people have it on their personal workstations

that’s not true if it’s company managed

I would say service based

yeah this isn’t necessarily true. I work at a large company and run Linux full time.

they are not all the same.

we even have dedicated Linux IT

that would literally defeat the entire purpose of the AUR

I went the opposite way. Wanted to like KDE, but found it too buggy and a bit inconsistent.

On Gnome I use really minimal extensions and those get updated very quickly so it is no longer an issue for me. I also do Gnome Extension reviews so take from that what you will

I’m fine with it, since they pay my phone bill if I have it installed ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
