Anyone who owns an LG smart TV must inform all guests and family members that they are being monitored – this is required by LG’s current terms of use. Meanwhile, LG monitors install potential malware and surveillance software on a connected Windows computer.
Or you could just change to an os that doesnt piss on its users constantly
Indeed. I use Linux most of the time, and MacOS a bit of the time, but the old Windows desktop is still there for the infrequent times when I need it to work on old music projects. I have it too dual-booting into Linux, so even it spends most of its time in a more sane OS.
Unfortunately, dual gpu and ray tracing setups don’t work very well on linux.
I couldn’t tell you about ray tracing, but it’s been pretty painless for me to run specific apps on igpu/dgpu using switcheroo-control
Sounds like a hostage situation
Multiple GPUs work fine in Linux. You can have one playing a game while you wait for the others to finish the real work.
Mine works, but I guess it depends on your setup. My main GPU is a 7800XT and my secondary is a 3090 I use for video encode/decode. OBS while streaming and recording simultaneously (if I ever have time), video editing and HandBrake conversions. It just works with EndeavourOS. I can do ray tracing on the 7800 XT but it’s not something I care about in games so I always turn it off.
I’m sure if I ran dual 3090’s in SLI it would be a pain in the ass but that’s why I didn’t try for that when upgrading my system, plus the power draw.
Great; what OS has the equivalent of Group Policy and Active Directory besides windows?
The funny thing is, the people who care about Group Policy and Active Directory are the same people who aren’t happy about their network potentially being compromised because someone hooked up their work laptop up to a monitor at their home.
Still didn’t answer the question.
This is the one thing holding open source back, and the thing Linux users keep pissing on without understanding it.
The CTOs inept nephew can manage your fleet of windows machines and you get all the checkbox security you need for compliance (and some real security):
That same feature set on Linux will cost you a ton of money in skilled staff if you want to check the same compliance checkboxes. (As for real security, who cares, no one is doing that anyway)
Kind regards: someone who has managed Linux fleets.
THANK YOU!
So many people just don’t get it; happy to see someone rational who does.
I WISH Linux had something like this, but it’s like NT 4.0; it doesn’t have it.
