My bad, used the wrong word there. I meant that Windows is very compatible with older versions and different flavors.

I think I’m cautious enough to not have the experience, luckily. But why does that matter? I’m still waiting from you for rationale why is Linux experiencing less infections. And you keep asking unimportant questions…

Servers are a different story. I’m both Windows and Linux user, meaning more towards the later recently. I’m still wondering why do you think Linux is more resistant to malware - besides the incompatibility (mentioned in other reply here). Your experience doesn’t tell much about why and I wrote my theory.

Ha, yes, incompatibility is the secret defense of linux 🫣. But even without root access, malware can create a lot of damage.

You sure though? Windows has more viruses because it’s more popular (desktop) and monolithic, not because Linux is much better in that regard. IOW Linux is not magically virus resistant. If you run an infected file, it will infect both without much trouble. Also removing infection would be similar. At least that’s my understanding.

NFS lacks security unless it’s NFSv4 paired with Kerberos AFAIK.

Yeah, that won’t but you could still try, just in case. Other than that, are both client and server on same IP segment? About router - I’d really suggest using your own router (also firewall) behind the provided one. Otherwise you are exposing your internal network to network provider which you might not want to do and at the same time you don’t have a control over the core device in your network.

It might work better if computer sleeps. Try that first. If that works, then it probably means you have to setup bios properly if that’s even configurable with your hardware. Or you can just go with sleep instead of power down.

I’d be perfectly fine with some sort of subscription. That gets distributed to authors I watch. But I can see technical challenges to it.

A big problem with peertube is monetization. There should be some sort of mechanism that’d do that automatically. Otherwise there won’t be much content ever. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really happy that it exists but just don’t see it replacing even few % of YouTube as it is.

Another vote for Fedora KDE.

And also community profits. But I don’t see it happen because politicians are dumb. In my country (EU) they still use X and Facebook only to communicate on social media. Microsoft is also heavily embedded in all pores.

The only way to fake it would be to use a “public” signature, but then again, I’m sure google will revoke them eventually. I guess rooting won’t be enough, one would have to change some internal binaries. Perhaps it’s time for a ungooglified android OS 🤷‍♂️

Torrent client is just an application, author shouldn’t be responsible - naive thinking I suppose

I’d say a big ton of them :(

I’m on your side and you are correct, besides Google amassing a ton of money (each registration costs $25) they will have total control and we know that Google is far beyond “not evil”.

Sideloading still works, just the apps have to be signed. Still awfull.

Perhaps, but if one is privacy conscious, that’s the way to do it. That is also one of the reasons people like Macs.

Unified memory is very AI friendly which is not irrelevant these days.

Yep. I even read somewhere that it should be possible (beta, at your risk) to enable it in the latest stable version, but wasn’t unable to find the option and the info is really scarce.
