  Fortunately, it’s actually mine, cuz I use Fedora with Gnome, which doesn’t do these magic tricks 😁

      I actually enjoy playing with Windows and Active Directory. I think it is ahead in terms of management and needing hacky workarounds

        I use FreeIPA and it works just fine for everything I would need AD for. Your point still stands. I just mean there are good enough alternatives for the Linux environment.

    I used to use Fedora on my Asus gaming laptop, and loved it. More recently I’ve chosen to switch over to Manjaro, because I wanted something based on Arch that was more lightweight than Garuda. Gotta love that Linux life.

      Have you tried reborn or endeavor?

        I tried EndeavourOS, but it didn’t fully support my hardware like Manjaro does

    I guess Lemmy is mostly tech nerds like myself, but it’s still cool as hell to see another Fedora user around :)

  Just shuddered at a possible future where someone’s PC locked up with the following notice:

  “We have locked your PC because you no longer have sufficient MS funds. One of our technicians will be by shortly to retrieve it. Sit tight, we are downloading its contents. Turning off the internet during this time will lead to strict legal action against you. Thank you for using Microsoft!
