02:23 Windows 11 is failing right now
05:20 What’s the job of an OS?
06:51 Updates break systems. Often.
10:53 You have to adapt to it
15:14 It’s highly intrusive
17:44 Debloating tools don’t make it good
20:19 Windows fails at being an OS
21:33 Alternatives are better, but not perfect
27:23 Windows is a sales platform, not an OS
And yet it’s at 71.34% on the Steam survey :(
We need OEMs to push Linux more, where are all the Steam Machine copycats?
Struggling under the weight of inflated RAM and storage prices.
71% seems like a low number, it’s first in the last few years Linux have begun having OSes suitable of gaming - Without having to fiddle a ton, convenience is what made Windows win gaming.
Stuff is slowly turning to Linux, but unfortunately does big organisations lock themselves in with Microsoft and Apple. It’s fairly common for universities to advise against having a Linux PC for study use cases. Due to their underlying suppliers and whatever their contracts state - Again, convenience.
Hopefully Germany and France manages to make a proper cloud based competitor to stuff like OneDrive or Google drive, as they’re looking into removing American based licences in their public sector. It would make most European orgs consider the same, just having OpenLibre with a cloud subscription could honestly untangle a lot.
Hmm, our central services are mostly open source based, I think. Hard to measure.
Yes, everyone uses the ActiveDirectory to login, even some Linux users, but most web-based services rely on Open Source. Things like Seafile and OnlyOffice is used more and more. We have BigBlueButton as a working alternative to Zoom. My workflow is completely Linux-based. Many colleagues could switch, too, if they want to.
