I never really understood that concept that questioning your own sanity is actually a good sign…
…but then I experienced Russian propaganda victims and their steadfast and unwavering believe that contrary to reality absolutely everyone except themselves is mislead and brain-washed by desinformation. 😄
Yeah, that despicable russophobia that makes us brain-washed russophobes hallucinate how Russia is invading neighbouring countries while committing war crimes, attacking other countries’ IT infrastructure, commiting sabotage and flooding social media with propaganda 24/7 for years… 🤡
It’s been years since I took a look at this but I vaguely remember a handy kioskrc config file under xfce4…
That sounds like the non-techies would be able to fix it themselves on Windows without you being around, which in my experince isn’t the case.
It might be different for you with a lot of tech-affine people in your family. But for those of us being forced to be the tech support anyway, it can really make a difference if you have to fix a Linux issue once in a while or have to reinstall Windows for the 5th time this year…
This is propaganda: […]
FTFY
They don’t hate them. They just want to cut all support for citizens to have more money available to finance more tax cuts for rich people.
But to do this you need to somehow convince the masses that money spend on them is a bad thing. For decades trickle-down fairy tales of how spending money on the already rich ones will help the economy and then be beneficial for all worked. But not anymore. So the next phase in desinforming gullible voters is much more dystopian and involves straight out brain-washing to decouple them from reality and make them believe that people actually helping them are evil and need to be fought.
ARM is shit at hardware discovery in general. So no, chromebooks don’t need a special distro. They however need a kernel adapted to the specific hardware, often down to the model (that’s also the reason Android updates take so long on phones and there is very time limited support… there’s always someone needed to adapt new updates to the specific hardware for each device, so they don’t bother for anything but their latest products).
Bigotry is illogical
Yet this isn’t even bigotry. It’s straight out xenophobia and hatred. The sanctimonious bullshit is just a fig leaf…
Decryption isn’t a problem if you use the systemd hooks when creating your initrams. They try to decrypt every given luks volume with the first key provided and only ask for additional keys if that fails.
I have 3 disks in a btrfs raid setup, 4 partitions (1 for the raid setup on each, plus a swap partition on the biggest disk), all encrypted with the same password.
No script needed, just add rd.luks.name=<UUID1>=cryptroot1 rd.luks.name=<UUID2>=cryptroot2 rd.luks.name=<UUID3>=cryptroot3 rd.luks.name=<UUID4>=cryptswap to your kernel parameters and unlock all 4 with one password at boot.
The majority of “Linux issues” is created intentionally. It’s often not enough to not support Linux officially (even if there would be no additional work involved anyway) and let players figure out problems on their own. A lot of studios, publishers and developers actually go out of their way and actively invest time to block Linux.
So nothing will obviously change. Windows could run on a fully compatible Linux kernel tomorrow and games would still check for Linux to artificially create issues.
So this is what happens when a Fiat Multipla develops into its final form in all its glorious ugliness…
with Apple dominating Europe…
Your own map diagrees, with 100% of the picked examples from Europe having Samsung as market leader.
Stick to a specific distro and train your staff
Linux is Linux. Train your staff to properly use one and they can use them all. “Distro” is just a fancy word for “which package manager and update cycle to we chose and what logo do we put on our pre-installed wallpaper”.
Yes, I actually just use Wine with a default prefix and pray it works. If it doesn’t (rarely) then the game gets his own prefix to tweak the settings.
you didn’t say what file system your /boot partition was using, so I don’t want to guess
It’s actually easy to guess. There is exactly one filesystem UEFI has to support by its specification, everything else is optional… so unless you produce for Apple -because they demand apfs support for their hardware- no vendor actually cares to implement anything but FAT.
When you say system drive this will also have your efi system partition (usually FAT-formated as that’s the only standard all UEFI implementations support), maybe also a swap partition (if not using a swap file instead) etc… so it’s not just copiying the btrfs partition your system sits on.
Yes clonezilla will keep the same UUID when cloning (and I assume your fstab properly uses UUIDs to identify drivees). In fact clonezilla uses different tools depending on filesystem and data… on the lowest level (so for example on unlocked encrypted data it can’t handle otherwise) clonezilla is really just using dd to clone everything. So cloning your disk with clonezilla, then later expanding the btrfs partition to use up the free space works is an option
But on the other hand just creating a few new partitions, then copying all data might be faster. And editing /etc/fstab with the new UUIDs while keeping everything else is no rocket science either.
The best thing: Just pick a method and do it. It’s not like you can screw up it up as long if your are not stupid and accidently clone your empty new drive to your old one instead…
misinformation != desinformation
Both exist plenty…
And just lke with the war on drugs, countries will realize it’s a lost cause. And will then instead try to coopt the system to spread their own desinformation. If you can’t win, exploit it for your own gains…
Welcome to our wonderful post-factual age.
Yeah… encouraging people to vote side by side with the morons pretending the moon landing didn’t happen.
