  • Only answering your last paragraph. You will not, ever, find a 1:1 equivalent for a few reasons, but mostly because:

    • Windows quircks do not have to be accomodated in Linux distros
    • Microsoft has very much encouraged massive software where everything is done in a single application, whereas in UNIX world the philosophy is to do one thing and do it well.
    • Not sure how DFS works, but with the myriad of networked filesystems available I’m sure there’s an exact requirement match.

    Users can be centrally managed in a myriad of ways, but the most used software seems to be following the same X.500 standard - OpenLDAP, FreeIPA, etc.

    Machines can be centrally managed via Puppet, Chef, etc.

    Company software is managed by having your own repo.

    SELinux can be used for incredibly granular access controls, but I can’t see most companies actually needing that.


    To sum it up - you’ll always have trouble if you’re solving a windows problem in linux and vice versa. Just for a moment, try imagining a situation where you want to switch a 100% linux company to windows.



  • Illecors@lemmy.cafetolinuxmemes@lemmy.worldDo you like systemd?

    Used systemd for years; realistically my first init.

    Switched to Gentoo.

    Switched to OpenRC.

    Lost logs at work on a server.

    Some small inconveniences show up on systemd.

    Yea, systemd is not that great.

    There are people saying they don’t want to care about an init system, but it’s the same attitude as of those who don’t care about what car they drive. Yes, it gets the job done, but that’s not good enough for me.

    I want the job done properly.




  • A couple things - every jump like that in resolution is about a 10% increase in size at the source level. So 2K is ~250GB, 4K is ~275GB. Haven’t had to deal with 8K myself, yet, but it would be at ~300GB. And then you compress all that for placea like netflix and the size goes down drastically. Add to that codec improvements over time (like x264 -> x265) and you might actually end up with an identical size compressed while carrying 4x more pixels.

    HDMI is digital. It doesn’t start failing because of increased bandwidth; there’s nothing consumable. It either works or it doesn’t.

    You a teen, it’s fine - we’ve all been there. I’ll tell you something I wish someone had told me when I was a teen - people are trying to reach out to you, but you’re actively shutting them down. Quit being a dumb edgy ass and form some memories together - it won’t be long until you start missing last chances.
