Plasma is more resource intensive,

maybe back during the plasma 4 days, this meme needs to go away

Have you considered Bazzite? Similar to Nobara, but it’s immutable. You can treat it like an appliance and even updates itself

I have an OG Vive, it works fine. I have more issues wrestling with the flatpak version of steam’s steamVR components than with the actual hardware

good if they’re gaming on old hardware I am sure. Mint lacks modern feature enablement and it baffles me that people keep recommending it

my ostree updates fine

KDE Discover does my updates without passwords just fine

I rebase my work machine to rawhide just for fun and testing

what’s your plan on teaching these people to maintain their selfhosted instances? Are you selling support? I mean you could script pulling and recreating containers, but without eyeballs on it, that stuff will die eventually.

a private school needs to give the appearance that they do, or at least have this capability when someone asks. On the ground, its barely used

I work IT in schools. There is limited surveillance tools on college owned devices. Mainly logging of web traffic. Screens can be viewed when on campus network, not reachable off campus.

No one in our department has time to waste looking at web history or screens. Teachers don’t bother to use it much either. We only look at it when directed by college executive or when I go in there at the end of term to clear the alerts.

I’d imagine most other schools are similar, no one gives a shit what kids are doing on their devices

I just build what they need, networks, auth, security etc -I’ll leave teaching to the teachers

I Sysadmin in education here in Brisbane. Half our server stack is Linux on a Nutanix hypervisor. I do all my work from Linux, my junior admin recently moved his workstation to Fedora KDE, I use Kinoite.

The student and staff devices are 95% Windows, manager doesn’t care what we use to administer. Officially we’re a “Microsoft School”

I log into EGS via heroic a few times a year to claim a free game. Yet to ever play any said free games 🤷

On an atomic distro your build environment should be in container, where it doesn’t matter what ships with the base image

It also taints the kernel with a useless module and doesn’t really offer much in the way of features over plain old kvm qemu

I don’t know what the hell people want from them.

these people are probably already using forks anyway

SRIOV in the datacenter without restrictive / Prohibitive licensing costs

Haven’t you just recommended 3 stale Ubuntu variants there?

it wouldnt make me anything

shit like this makes me annoyed I joined an instance without down voting
