Of course those things matter. What is important is that minus the social media, we as a society need to build healthy and affirming alternatives to compensate for this gap. The hard part is figuring out what forms those should take and how to keep them from having similar pitfalls.
Not at all. No one said leet hacker crap. What are you on about? I said it’s configurable and customizable, which are praises. Locking any OS down with these MDM solutions robs the users of any enjoyable experience. You want someone’s first Linux experience to suck? To be a locked down piece of frustration? Let the OS’s that already force things on people do that. People expect that from Windows and Mac. Not from Linux.
Just don't use Linux for this. Linux is meant to be customizable and configurable. If you want thoughtless drones working on cookie cutter setups, give them Windows or a Mac. Clipping Linux's wings like like this should be a crime.
When other devs can force a CoC on the actual creator of Linux, that's when you know they've gone to far. It's his, wtf should anyone else get a say in how it's governed?
Given that you can already use rsync over ssh, I suspect you want to allow the rsync configuation options on the server side, but still use ssh to secure the transit. I would do it like this:
Configure rsync on receiving server to listen only on 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
Use ssh to create a tunneled port between your sender and receiving rsync server.
Rsync on the sender to [rsync defined user@]localhost:port (whichever port you set the tunnel up on) as your target.
That would encrypt the traffic over your ssh tunnel, but still allow you to use the receiver's rsyncd paths.
Most places seem to issue Mac's now for the role. I just create a 90% cpu & memory Linux VM on them and work from within that, with the exception of teams or zoom meetings being native on the Mac (no echo cancellation on linux VM's, it seems). Works mostly well, but it is arm64 based linux, as the Mac's currently are M series.
Ended up going with Arch for arm64, as it had the simplest way to add widevine support to my browsers.
Much better than being native on the Mac... Mac doesn't give me the two select&paste linux 2nd copy buffer, doesn't provide focus follows mouse, no auto-raise, and type in partially covered windows without raise. Essential for my workflow.
Simple, start teaching it in elementary school all the way up through high school. Apple did it long ago and got apple users out of those kids. Microsoft does it now, and now you have Windows users. Just need the computer education to be Linux centric from the start. It's not that it's different, it's that it's not what they grew up with and were taught.
