Programmer by day, burnt out by night.
Honestly, you’ll be lucky if you can get past any bootloader issues on a Samsung.
It was honestly trivial to wipe Samsung’s and install LineageOS on a Galaxy Note 10+ and a Galaxy Tab 7. The bootloader isn’t much of an issue.
Now, getting a random Linux system to install, rather than an Android system designed for these, sounds live a huge challenge.
I agree planning around it is stupid, but I don’t see how that affects computer programs.
(let me clarify, this seems like an everyone-issue, rather than a developer-issue)
Timezones are fine to program around.
DST is a bit of a pickle to plan around, but can be done just fine by a computer program.
Historical dates; considering leap years, skipped leap years, and times when leap years weren’t a thing or when humanity just decided we skip a bunch of years; are the bane of all that is good.
This, with reading the full name of the model each and every time, reads like a corporate ad

I think your first point is the main reason Ubuntu has its popularity to thank for; 10-15 years ago it was (one of) the best desktop Linux OSes, people used to its workflow will continue using it as there’s no imminent reason to switch to whatever new thing just came out
Firewall is pre-installed, and they offer to configure and enable it on launch (similar to Ubuntu and many other distros). I’ve never seen a Linux desktop they came with firewall preconfigured in any way.
The lock screen is an issue, and Cinnamon does not come with a Wayland way to lock yet. KDE, Gnome or some other Wayland friendly DE would be better in that regard, I agree
It was one of the first polished desktop Linux systems, even though it’s enshittified recently it holds its popularity due to its long-standing status as “THE Linux desktop”
I agree, this doesn’t explain why Ubuntu would be any better than other OSes that also auto update by default…
It’s Ubuntu, so it’s secure.
It uses a supported LTS kernel, for better stability and security. Updates to a newer LTS kernel if the LTS it was using is no longer supported.
It’s very secure by default.
Personal recommendation: https://ipleak.net is a good website to check your DNS, torrent protection, and some more useful info.
That’s the default everywhere else, yes
So it has auto updates enabled? Windows, macOS and a ton of other Linux distros do that as well.
I think it’s moreso that Ubuntu is (one of the) most used desktop Linux OSes, so a lot of corporations and individuals who like to play safe just go with that
Why would they add a “feature” that makes it look like files are deleted? That would only hurt their service.
Also, what virus here and there? It seems like their service hid files uploaded to it, not actually infect computers with anything. Am I missing something?
True, fixed
Or better yet:
gparted, wipe every partition of the diskdskmng, shrink Windows by the needed amount (having another OS shrink it might break it)Just wondering if this is still happening over a VPN?
I mesnt you just referring to another place to get help. But yeah, their forum really is a neat place for this
It is in the style of the original, where during Covid the page on “Migrating to the Netherlands” simply just started with “Do not migrate to the Netherlands”, before expanding on the Covid restrictions on place and what foreign nationals currently in the Netherlands are to do.
On one hand: Now that’s loud & clear communication. On the other hand, “Just don’t” really ties in to the stereotype of Dutch directness/rudeness.
Sounds like they hacked (out of) the box
