I would guess that they’ll be sourcing a next-gen RISC-V processor ASAP, since those will enable virtualisation. If they stick one in a laptop shell I’d probably buy it pretty quickly. Doubly so if it has EFI.

I’m sure I’ll get shouted down for this suggestion by the haters, but I’m going to make it anyway because it’s actually really good:
Use an Ubuntu LTS flavour like Kubuntu. Then, add flatpak and for apps you want to keep up to date, install either the flatpak or the snap, depending on the particular app. In my personal experience, sometimes the flatpak is better and sometimes the snap is better. (I would add Nix to the mix, but I wouldn’t call it particularly easy for beginners.)
This gets you:
Can confirm that it can do this fairly well.
Source: the time I grabbed a machine we were about to toss and made it a secondary domain controller for our site so we could nuke and pave our misbehaving Server 2012 DC.
(That other one was also a secondary DC - we just needed one on-site so we could prevent our T1 connection to another site from being the bottleneck.)
I am a certified Linux user with over 20 years of experience.
Please run the following command in a terminal:
sudo dnf install apt
And then try the instructions above. Let me know if this fixes your issue
I’m in a place with an ecosystem that can actually be taken seriously.
Agreed. The great defaults in Plasma definitely are a major draw for me.
I’m in the tropics
Not necessarily.
It could be five days in a column then there are five Mondays in a month (like this month).
That tracks, I think Vüdü Linux is a dead project.
Canonical’s been selling commercial support for Ubuntu Core for a while now. Why would they abandon it if it’s working?
Valve are one of the major reasons that Microsoft’s attempts at the iOSification of Windows failed. Their investments in Linux are directly aimed at preventing what Apple is doing.
Tim Sweeney is a freeloader depending on companies like Valve to protect him from these threats to his company.
For me in particular I’m a software developer who works on developer tools, so I have a lot of tests running in VMs so I can test on different operating systems. I just finished running a test suite that used up over 50 gigs of RAM for a dozen VMs.
That’s the idea of those “which pictures contain bikes?” ones and the ReCaptcha (where you had two words from books). In the book one, one of the words is known and the other is not. They’ll present the same unknown word to people until they get a clear answer from many dozens or hundreds of entries, using the known word as a control. Then that other word goes into the known words category.
My Linux machine has 64 GiB of RAM, which is like 128 GiB of Mac RAM. It’s still not enough
I’m mad that Android is developed behind closed doors and then dumped out there for us rather than being developed in the open.
Android doesn’t count, but what about my PinePhone?
Hand them to zoomers as 3d printed save buttons
You know what else would be awesome? “Update, reboot, and (just this once) automatically login”
It would be super useful for when I’m alone at home working but want to do updates over my lunch break.
The moment I can get a laptop-style RISC-V device with virtualisation support I’m doing it. Double bonus if I can actually use it as my daily driver.
