  • No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic "muh sikret klub!" group.

    Simple "eh, it won't fix the problem, and here's why and how YOU can help" would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.

    Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit "block the idiot" button.

  • It won't be well roasted.

    Depending on the type of food, certain parts of it might still be raw.

  • Ubuntu is what grew out of Debian.

    But it's radically different ENVIRONMENT these days.

  • But that should be a lesson to people as to why going Linux is foolhardy.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astra_Linux

    And blaming it on the distro is ridiculous.

    The choice of a distro makes huge - crucial - difference. It dictates the possibilities, limitations and future evolution of every ecosystem it's supposed to support.

    Wrong choice = a disaster.

  • I'm not sure about this article.

    Back in the day it was hardware incompatibility that was cited as the prime reason to backtrack to Windows.

  • This was proposed once before with Germany going open source. They eventually went back.

    Germany's attempt at switching to Linux is a prime example of bad management, wrong decisions and, well, idiocy.

    If memory serves: they chose Debian, instead of Ubuntu and didn't do enough research concerning hardware compatibility. When they were already in progress, it turned out they had craploads of office hardware like scanners, printers and such, that weren't working under Debian.

  • Hard to tell.

    Whole Linux movement has plenty of classes to take, if it wants to become more relevant. And social skills is one of the most important among these...

  • The type of food and temperature is what makes the most of the difference. Roasting is 400F/200C and above, baking starts at 350F/150C, I believe.

  • Support & community come to mind.

    To a typical user/newcomer to servers it's easier to find some solution for Ubuntu, than for Debian. And boy, can Debian users be full of themselves... 😑

  • Yeah. It's good that there are users who actually take time to explain some stuff, rather than just hissssssss like rabid vipers merely because somebody - oh no, what a preposterous idea! - asked a harmless question.

  • I find this comment section a prime example of dickish hivemind seething over nothing.

    There's a dude, obviously quite fresh in the ways of Mastodon. He probably doesn't realize all the nuts & bolts supporting the system and how it all works. He is asking a question that is logical, but it needs clarification, like "it doesn't work like this, my man".

    Instead he gets "Hsssssssssssssss, selfhost it, hsssssssssssssssssssss, interloper, hsssssssssssssssssss, you want to destroy this place, hssssssssssssssss..."

    Get a life, eejits.

  • From what I gather, Solid needs notifications for file transfers, should you decide to push large chunks of data through it and proceed to different tasks in the meantime.

  • Life is underrated.

    It's reverse Final Fantasy - it ends before you're ready...
