Here comes Europe, Fuck Yeah. Here to save the motherfucking day yeah.

I do a fair amount of video editing with it, and I haven’t had it crash once, in Windows or Linux, in years now.

Dang it I finally literally just updated yesterday after not updating for like six months and being lazy haha.

Nice new features though and no breaking changes so no big deal. Just update it again today, I guess.

Speaker brand, they may be looking for some software for managing it. Probably gonna need to run it in WINe.

AMD drivers: Native, will auto-install as the mesa library, AMD is tits in Linux, it just works.

Gmail: Thunderbird works with Gmail accounts and can sync the calendar.

iTunes: Rhythmbox has a very similar layout to iTunes and so should feel pretty familiar.

Anti-virus: Linux doesn’t really need antivirus in the same way Windows does because it’s more locked down and doesn’t have the same vectors of attack. If someone is hacking a Linux machine, it’s a corporate server, not your desktop PC. If you still think you might need one ClamAV is available for Linux distributions. (.deb for Debian derivaties and .rpm for Fedora derivatives)

Py-Charm: As others have noted, Python is installed natively and is usually already implemented “out of the box” on a fresh install. No need for a program to run it, Python is just… there already.

Remote Desktop: Whatever distribution you have will likely also come with a Remote Desktop client. I am unaware of whether or not they will connect natively to iOS.

Star Citizen: You should be able to add this as a non-Steam game to Steam and use Steam’s Proton compatibility layer to play it. A few years ago they were literally asking for Linux players to test it with Proton and Easy Anti-Cheat.

VPN: Linux has extensive VPN support including “roll your own” through either OpenVPN or Wireguard.

Windows Games: Steam, using the Proton compatibility layer, which is essentially WINe, just made a little easier. As with Star Citizen, just add it as a non-Steam game and viola.

Windows 10: The Distribution of your Dreams is just around the corner… Mint isn’t a terrible place to start.

Xubuntu soared on my 2007 iMac with no issues whatsoever. 😎

I am not OP but I actually have similar questions on backup because I didn’t have access to my Immich server for a few months and got really behind on keeping it updated. I want to make backups before I do a manual update, but I don’t know if following the directions on Immich’s Backup and Restore page is good enough or if I should handle it another way manually.

So, are you a masochist in other aspects of your life, too?

The video worked excellently, just so you know.

Just be careful running a Tor node and what kind of data could be flowing through your machine… It’s Tor… so some of the data can be pretty fuckin unsavory while other data can be political dissidents who need safety.

Seconding BSD if only for this li’l guy. Got that Lucifer vibe.

TL;DW: Native Wayland support in Wine.

There’s a subset of the Linux/FOSS/etc. community who are Conservative, misogynistic, racist, and/or otherwise general bigots.

right, the hackernews set…

Further, when @vkc@linuxmom.net made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them.

What the fuck is happening to the world? Are we regressing or were we always this regressed and we’ve just given powerful tools to fucking chowderheads?
