Thanks for the warning. I’ll keep my eyes open. Perhaps it’s time to start distro-hopping.

I use the Windows version of Scrivener 3 on Linux. It works almost perfectly. Sometimes it’ll freeze after opening a file, but force-quit and restart the app, and it’s fine.

Good point. It was quite the adventure trying to find drivers for my T470’s fingerprint reader. It’s been working great ever since, but it was a long road.

Interesting. Mine sometimes fails to wake up with ZFS. I wonder if automatic snapshots are the culprit.

Simple. Your users don’t care if it’s insecure. They click on fake password reset emails. You’re the bad guy here. They still haven’t forgiven you for requiring them to enter numbers when they want to log in.

I love Thunderbird, but I wouldn’t recommend it for Microsoft 365. You can add the mail account via IMAP (if you turn off Security Defaults), but I don’t believe there’s a way to get Microsoft’s contacts and calendars to sync up, since they don’t support CardDAV or CalDAV.

It’ll be a long time coming. I’ll be in a nursing home by the time ReactOS can even replace Windows 98, much less XP.

But I’ll be goddamned thrilled when you do, because that’ll be 95% of the Win32 API.

It can be done. Just don’t cheap out. A USB4-attached NVMe disk will be faster than a run-of-the-mill USB 3.0 flash drive, and that will run circles around some cheap $10 USB 2.0 drive.

Not all flash drives are rated for constant use, so be sure to have a backup plan.

Other than that, it’s a cool idea! Go for it!

I’ll be sticking with my HP Color LaserJet for now. I’ve updated it to the latest firmware before they introduced Instant Ink (and toner, I guess) and will keep it until either it or I can’t be repaired and die.

After that, I don’t know, Brother?

You could distcc the system so that a stronger system does the cross-compiling… but you’re right.

I didn’t need a note taking app before looking up that app. I’ll try it!

Yeah, it’s ARM-based, and while that’s gaining in popularity, differences between drivers and chipsets still make support challenging.

Yeah, beans are so last week.

Does it say anything above that? Look for the last line written in plain English. That should be what Linux was trying to do before it panicked.

Wow. That’s awful. You’d think it would just let traffic pass stupidly.

That being said, I’m from the UniFi camp, so I’m used to adopting hardware. Still, if you’re not expecting it, especially in a DR scenario… ugh.

I’m not a distro hopper. I settled on Ubuntu, which was fairly quick to adopt Wayland. I haven’t had any issues beyond the occasional app (kitty) that doesn’t show decorations properly without minor tweaking. (And, despite its name, X forwarding over SSH works just fine.)
