@ickplant i wonder if they are also afraid that something will grab their leg.

Nextcloud with CalDAV

And now I’m on fedora 39 kinoite because I like the immutable image-based features such as being able to build my own images in the cloud and being able to roll back to any previous version if something messes up in an upgrade. And also I have more control over what software is installed on the host system because it’s all written in my Dockerfile so if I want to uninstall something and all of its dependencies, I’m just gonna remove it from the Dockerfile.

My first installed Linux distro was Ubuntu 5.10. I started experimenting with Linux because my neighbour at the time said good things about Linux. He used windows himself but he also heard good things about Linux and spread the word in curiousity. Eventually I was the one of us who made the jump.

@Pacmanlives
Couldn’t you just disable root login in the sshd config?

@cobra89
Yeah I agree.

@kandoh
Yes haha. This way we can get back to the times where 4 characters passwords were sufficient 😃

@TrickDacy

Indeed. Linux nowadays works out of the box if you choose a distro such as Ubuntu or Fedora.

The Wifi issue thing is an old story which was a reality back in 2005 when I started using Linux.

@trailblazer911

@possiblylinux127 Fedora FTW 🙏

@possiblylinux127
And then enterprise Linux on your home desktop?

@Lucidlethargy

I had for about 2 years. Went back to Linux about a year ago and sold the MacBook recently.

@possiblylinux127
What do you mean with other way around?

@Xttweaponttx
Yeah i agree. The ad stuff is really bad. Having ads in the browser is enough. I don’t want it in my OS. But even all the way back in Windows 7 some people busted Windows in “calling home” when something was entered in the search field in the Start menu. This was caught using the ZoneAlarm firewall.

@tourist
😅 Time is critical in such situation

@tourist im sorry to hear :(

did you manage to recover it?

@ahal yes true :D

@Shareni alma started to take sources from centos stream. so yeah upstream in a way.

@GnomeComedy ansible sounds cool. i don’t know anything about it, but it seems like this is a bit of the same as i’m doing with Dockerfiles for my Fedora Kinoite. building my own custom OS image with github actions and then every 3rd day the new image gets pulled by my pc from the cloud.

@mfat and with Distrobox containers.

@Shareni
With bootleg RHELs you mean Alma and Rocky?
