It’s like going to a vegan community saying “meat isn’t so bad”. You’re obviously not going to get good responses.

I use freerdp with Wayland, works OK.

You wish. Most tech companies will get you the cheapest laptop they can get away with.

I remember being denied a 64bit laptop when developing a 64bit only application lol.

I have several clients with this kind of setup. I’m always baffled at the amount of hoops I have to go through to connect to my Linux server. Sometimes I have to remote desktop to a windows virtual desktop and then use the citrix session to another windows machine VIA BROWSER so I can finally ssh to the machine. Are they trying to bore attackers to death?

It’s a gigantic money sink, it’s going to be extremely hard to come up with a profitable (or break even) alternative.

Just go ahead and write a very basic working kernel in rust.

I don’t get this stance, really. If I want to write a driver in Rust I should start by creating a completely new Kernel and see if it gains momentum? The idea of allowing Rust in kernel drivers is to attract new blood to the project, not to intentionally divert it to a dummy project.

Rust is sufficiently different that you cannot expect C developers to learn rust to the level they have mastered C

If you watch the video, no one asked anything from the C developers other than documentation. They just want to know how to correctly make the Rust bindings.

Note that Rust is not replacing C code in the Kernel, just an added option to writing drivers.

In the company I work with you can use whatever you want but I’m the only one using Linux :(

KDE has “”“tiling”“”. They called it tiling but it’s just god awful. If KDE had real automatic tiling, I would probably have sticked with it, to be honest.

I’m not really invested in Cosmic, I’m happy with Hyprland and will continue to use it.

I do think they did a REALLY nice job with the tiling. I don’t think you can find a more intuitive and user friendly tiling window manager. Something that’s not absolute barebones out of box and can be configured entirely with a GUI. In that regard it does bring something to the mix and is very very welcome.

I’m always wary of buying second hand phones. How healthy is that battery going to be?

100% agree. Charging for the unlimited email alias is fine but 2FA? :/

I have worked in retail to help pay for university. It was a miserable job. Dealing with people made me a worse person.

I am very “passionate” about Proton Pass but don’t take me for a Proton chill, I have a lot of criticism about their other products.

This is crazy to read, thanks for sharing! How did you store/remember all the passwords?

This is not a real solution. You’re supposed to have a unique password for everything. Managing that notebook would be an hassle, not to mention backing it up. It would easily have dozens of records, if not hundreds.

I’ve been using Proton Pass and it has been a game changer for me. Hot take: I think Proton Pass is Proton’s best service.

It creates not only a unique password for each service but also a unique email address alias. If a website leaks my email address and I get spam, I know exactly who did it and I only need to swap 1 login credential.

Has a built-in 2FA and passkeys. Works great in the browser with proper auto complete, even for the 2FA code. Works fine on Android and password in both browser and applications get autocomplete.

Proton Pass can be used by everyone, regardless of their technical level, in every device. My mom could easily use this across all her devices. I’m told Keepass is fantastic but having it sync across all her devices would be challenging for her.

Most Proton services feel kinda underbaked but Proton Pass is excellent.

You can export all your passwords to an encrypted and password protected file. I ocasionally back it up to a USB device so that I always have an offline copy available.

Still, one of these days I was logged out of my proton pass on Android and couldn’t connect to the internet. I was locked down.

I had a teacher who was really passionate about Ubuntu and was distributing Ubuntu 5/6 live CDs. I ended up installing it on my laptop. It was a pretty miserable experience. Everything was ugly as hell, configuring the sound card was a pain, Wi-Fi drivers had constant problems, upgrades to the new x.04/x.10 version borked the system 100℅ of the time. Pretty miserable but got the job done.

Nowadays the experience is much, much smoother. Just ensure you don’t need exclusive software.

I wasn’t able to set up a reverse tunnel, because I’m also under a corporate VPN :( I was able to get xfreerdp to work, though! Maybe I can add some port-forward + tunnels and be free :P
