Not just clickbait, the title is maliciously wrong.
The article is about Apple holding developers conferences with cops with the purpose of developing apps tailored to them, there's nothing about users privacy.
A business trying to enter a new market, what a weird concept eh?
Lemmy.world was my first instance, it was a nice place while it was below 1k users, then it started to grow fast and degenerate until it's become a complete cesspool from all points of view, not just bigotry.
I fled (I'm cis).
I didn't either, not even once in years of playing on Steam.
Many years ago at work, when PCs started to spread, I taught a 60 years old lady how to use one. She never saw a PC before yet she learned pretty well, and I saw much younger people not learning.
Being willing to learn doesn't depend on age, it's a mindset, either you have it or you don't, and if you do have it, it will last your entire life.
OpenSuse is essentially free marketing for SUSE, nobody would know them otherwise
I've been working for big enterprises for many years, SUSE is used in enterprise environment to run SAP systems because it's recommended by SAP, OpenSuse has nothing to do with that.
LMDE (Mint Cinnamon)
True, it's the desktop manager that can make a difference but you can install any DE on any distro.
Thank you for what you do! :)
Distro Hopping seems to be such a big part of the “Linux experience.”
It's not, it's just a way to find the distro that suits you best.
If you're already satisfied with what you have, there's no reason to change and you're not missing out on anything. If you're ever curious about other distros, install Virtualbox and try them in a VM.
I stopped distro hopping years ago when I started using Linux MX (Debian based), I'm so happy with it that I have no intention to change ever again.
The only other distro I really like is LMDE (Mint based on Debian instead of Ubuntu), so I put that one on my laptop (MX on my gaming desktop).
What CA are you getting your certificates from?
If Let's Encrypt, have you checked their alternative methods to certbot?
I think it depends on what you want to accomplish.
I agree Distrobox is perfect for any case you want to use software your distro doesn't support (you basically setup the target distro into a docker container), or for developers wanting to use different versions of software/libraries without risking breaking the host OS with tons of different packages that might conflict with each other, but I wouldn't say it can also completely replace the use of VMs.
For example, using a VM is the only way for me to use Linux on my company PC (Windows), it's easy to get permission to install Virtualbox/Vmware since VMs are isolated from your host and you can cut them out from the company network, it's an opposite use case than what you would use containers for.
VMs are fantastic to learn, trying the setup of a different distro if you're distro hopping or simulating multiple machines interacting with each other, you can't do that with containers.
If they ever made such a law they should go after Star Citizen first, they sell ingame ships for thousands of dollars ... and yes, people buy them ...
No wonder they buy a 90$ mount ...
