  • I think that depends on the hardware but yes.

  • I could apply it to Windows too though.

  • Everything I encountered that haven't worked:

    • Not supported hardware by manufacturer
    • Nvidia Drivers with Wayland
  • Does Linux have competition? But I get your idea.

  • "I heard you like files... Everything is a file."

  • Like some kind of prostitute lover.

  • That is more like a general FOSS than Linux

  • And when you tell your OS to poweroff it... powers off. Wow.

  • I recently passed Linux Foundation System Admin and they had a weird Debian that just slapped me with man not found or something like this

    I like it, but I think proprietary can tell it too.

  • I recently passed my Sys Admin cert from Linux Foundation and 50% of things by me were done on the fly:

    • View to what website the cerficate has been issued
    • Git commiting and pushing
    • Smart finding and deleting / moving
    • NFS and SSHFS mounting
    • Firewall redirection probably using iptables
    • Overall user management
    • Docker container management
    • Sysctl kernel parameters persistence
    • Systemctl server managing
    • AppArmor which I failed
    • LVM disk extending
    • From source compilation using make
    • NTP time synchronisation

    that's all I remember. Overall I find that typicall Linux Desktop differs from these certs and the job.

  • Many people don't even distinguish

    • Privacy
    • Anonymity
    • Security

    So you know... For example Signal is private but not anonymous as it is tied to you in some way (username, phone number). Security is just not exposing yourself when you haven't allowed someone to have this information / access.

  • You can write Microsoft like it's naughty with changing it's meaning even though it is the same

    Micros**t

  • I understand your point but I disagree. My senior head of security department uses Linux with Windows VM for Microsoft stuff like Office, Outlook, Teams etc. Besides that many things are handled through configured LDAP with AD and many pain points through Linux and Windows interchangeability is solved through Samba like fileservers. I also hear more and more about FreeIPA thing. I only heard and read of Kerberos that is hard to do.

    For everything else like

    • proxies
    • certificates
    • VPNs

    Everything is the same or even better and more secure on Linux. SSL stuff just comes from it... Even from BSD systems I think that is known for simplicity and security. With so many bloat on Windows there is so much vulnerabilities and things to manage while you can KISS. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

    I don't need 80% things on Windows but I do have them as I'm forced to and they also are like some ticking security bomb.

    I don't ask for a perfect Linux support, but at least an ability to do so. I tried it and in the end it came out that Microsoft likes Windows more than Linux (I know surprising). Intune crashed, certificates were weirdly Windows specific and after that I gave up.

    Isn't freedom about doing whatever you want especially when you want to get as much of your system, hardware so they just can squeeze as much productivity as possible from an employee?
