Mostly working on getting over covid! In the meantime, I got MacOS running in a VM which was a bit of fun. Host system is Linux Mint 21 and the VM is running through KVM/Qemu. I’ve been wanting to play with it for a while but I’m way too poor to get the hardware. Not a bad system overall, the installer is a bit hinky but users aren’t supposed to see that anyway. Haven’t dug into it much yet but I will when I find some time. Interested to see how closely the experience matches some of the Mac-aligned Linux distros.

Preinstalled on consumer hardware like Chromebooks in every school or for some unfathomable reason some of the nursing homes I work with?

Where I live in Australia, 1 hour out of Sydney, I would pay that for 1/3 the data at 1/3 the speed. Went with starlink instead.

That’s more “the oligarchs own and run everything and you must work for their benefit or you die”

Do it! My ryzen/nvidia 2060 rig is running Mint and everything works great through steam or lutris (a runner/installer)

I had a pile of old parts of all sorts of machines sitting in some boxes. Was poking through and thought “hang on”… Bing bang boom threw some bits together and built a new PC to run a jellyfin media server on Mint. Don’t even know what most of the parts are…

I’ve been using various distros for the past 6 months trying to find the right fit for my work. I do remote desktop support of many windows based enterprises.

I use Linux desktop every single day for 8 hours. I also play games of all sorts.

KDE neon was what I had when I started out and it was great. Zero problems. There’s no reason you’d ever need CLI in plasma desktop that I can see. Fedora/plasma is a no go. Too complex with selinux and you really do need to know what you’re doing. Still quite usable for 90% of day to day

For the past month I’ve been on mint 21 and have had zero issues and zero CLI time. Been enjoying baldurs gate 3 out of the box, using outlook, teams, various browsers and whatnot. Not going to give a comprehensive list here, but everything works perfectly and almost everything has been installed straight from the software manager.
