  • Unless you use modern artillery. Then you want to aim even higher because at those ranges/heights it's beneficial to reach less dense air layers quickly.

  • Ubuntu:

    It has strong security, automatic updates, and great hardware support.

    As basically all distros (or in the case of auto updates: all DEs) have.

    Mint:

    It’s stable, lightweight

    As every Linux is compared to Windows.

    Zorin OS:

    supports many Windows applications through Wine

    Is there a reasonable distro that doesn't?

    Pop!_OS:

    it has built-in NVIDIA and AMD driver support

    So again like basically all distros that don't go out of their way to only use free-software... for NVIDIA that is, AMD drivers are part of the kernel anyway.

    Debian:

    supports several desktop environments like GNOME, KDE, and Xfce

    Same, same... again.

    Seriously... How many sloppy "Which distro is for you?" articles do we need to finally get a single one competently describing differences and not trying to pin general Linux features to specific distros? 🥱

  • I just saw that bind now comes with tls support (for quite some time actually...), which was the reason I originally went with unbound instead. So I guess I have an excuse to look at it again... 😀

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

  • So one in five doesn't do proper backups. That's much better than expected... 😅

  • 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using

    Jump

  • Isn't that the whole point of containerised solutions? Having some pre-setup, auto-updating solution with very little requirement to dive into the details like what your database is and which dependencies you need to manage...

  • But the bear referenced there is not the animal but the constellation...

    Arctic = towards the bear, so north

    Antarctic = the opposite (=ant[i]) direction

  • "Arktos" is greek for bear.

    The arctis is the region towards the bear, meaning the constellation so north... while the antarctis is the opposite direction (ant(i) = opposite).

  • Linux is becoming more appealing for gamers – here's why

  • but generally people just don’t install Windows, it’s already there

    In my opinion that's the main point.

    People love to discuss how Linux isn't fit to replace Windows (yet) or how it needs to be more user friendly or how it needs to work better out-of-the box.

    Yet in reality 90% of the users couldn't install and properly set up either OS from scratch. But with Windows they simply don't have to as it's already pre-installed and set up. And so they somehow fool themselves into thinking one just runs automatically while the other needs additional work...

  • Linux is becoming more appealing for gamers – here's why

    Jump

  • Yes, they often do... implicitly.

    Every time someone pretends that it's a Linux problem that he had to look up and install a certain driver because it "wouldn't work properly out-of-the-box" he is basically lying because guess what... Windows doesn't work properly without the right (externally downloaded) driver, too. Or it required you to install the newest DirectX version for decades before you could even start any game... Yet somehow I never read complains about Windows being unfinished and needing to improve because you could not start gaming out-of-the-box.

  • Someone Slipped a RAT into Arch Linux!

    Jump

  • There's a RAT in Arch Linux (because someone made one downloadable in the Arch User Repository) is about the same level of non-sense as telling the story of how Windows ships with hundreds of viruses because those can indeed be freely downloaded as .exe-files from the Internet which you can access via Windows. 🤣

    Now that I think about it... It's even worse. You cannot actually get an AUR package without explicitly installing the tools to get them (and most likely reading the disclaimers and warnings for using the AUR on the way), while you can can in fact download and execute malicious content with the pre-installed Windows tools.

  • Microsoft's Secure Boot UEFI bootloader signing key expires in September, posing problems for Linux users

    Jump

  • The actual problem is (and has been for a long time) the enormous amount of absolute trash-level uefi implementations.

    Updating keys is easy. Alas... a lot of them are completely broken beyond repair and fail everything but running with the pre-installed keys, which includes updating (or adding new) keys (bonus points for the really screwed up devices that even sign some their own hardware with the pre-installed MS keys thus bricking themselves if those keys are changed).

  • Linux and Secure Boot certificate expiration

    Jump

  • Linux users who have Secure Boot enabled on their systems [...]

    No.

    Some Linux users lazily using shim-based Secure Boot implementations provided out of the box by some distros. Mostly exactly because that's a setup that came with their install where they don't have to do anything and they also don't actually care.

    Everyone actually caring for Secure Boot has the option to setup and use their own proper keys easily.

    The real problem is (and has been for a long time) the amount of absolute trash level UEFI implementations still in use nthat are basically non-functional once you try to use any Secure Boot funtionality beyond just using the pre-installed MS keys.

  • Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?

    Jump

  • What do you mean by poor long term stability? It's a rolling release. I run the same installation for basically forever, while fixed releases' life-time is measured in just a few years before you lose support and need to do a full distro upgrade... which rarely seems to work without problems.

    PS: I just looked it up. The first date in my pacman log in from 2014...
