I use qemu/kvm with vm manager. There’s a lot of other options too. Most of them are valid indefinitely.

I use the Win11 LTSC IoT Enterprise Image, because it cuts out most of the usual windows bloat. Maybe have a look at massgrave.dev.

You can hand over a USB device fully to a Windows VM. That’s how I update my Yamaha stuff.

Meh, I actively use it. I get why it might be unintuitive to someone newly switching.

… I actually like being able to copy a website and middle clicking to open it. I don’t think it’s a problem, it just needs to be telegraphed to the user better, and togleable.

… sure. Nothing here is wrong, but there’s ways to try and mitigate that. And then it’s kinda an arms race, and vigilance.

Good as a general recommendation.

I also feel like the risk levels are very different. If it’s something that performs a function but doesn’t save/serve any custom data (e.g. bentopdf), that’s a lot easier to decide to do than something complicate like Jellyfin.

I do have public addresses for Matrix, overleaf, AppFlowy, immich because they would be much less useful otherwise. Haven’t had any problems yet, but wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to others.

I’d never host any stuff with “Linux ISOs” on a public adress, that seems like it’d be looking for trouble.

You just have to Flash coreboot, I have three chromebooks deployed with family, one with mint and two with Endeavour. Even Touch and audio drivers work for those specific models (Acer Santa and Asus Babytiger).

I seem to remember that steam depends on the official nvidia drivers, so that might still be fumbly if you use their platform.

That building looks kinda like a stick of ram from the front.

I am already self-hosting Matrix for my friend group. I suppose where just gonna move more and more stuff onto there. Doesn’t fix the issue, but you don’t have to go quietly.

At some point, your SSD will fail. If you’re lucky, that is quite a while away. If you’re unlucky, that’s tomorrow. If your data is truly critical, at least copy it to a second drive, even if you don’t do a proper/full 3-2-1 backup.

Also, if you’re asking whether you can move data from one drive from an old file system to a new file system that replaces the old one on the same drive without copying data to a different drive - no.

If I’m not mistaken, illustrator is vector based, krita is pixel based. So drawing-wise, krita is closer to Photoshop than illustrator.

I have a windows VM for Adobe products, etc. Works fine for my usecase. If you need full GPU Acceleration (e.g. for Premiere), it gets a bit more complicated, but is doable still, as long as you have an iGPU or second GPU.

Custom Roms like Graphene, Calyx are the answer. And there are quite a few finance apps that do work, look it up for the ones you actually need before switching.

Compared to the Pixel / Pixel Pro, the Performance difference is pretty much nil because they’re all on the same SoC.

Not really a drop-in replacement for video meetings. For that, Jitsi would be more sensible.

Hey, that was made at my former uni. And now I’m wondering whether other unis adopted it. It always seemed like a neat solution.

It makes them less worthwhile. But we can definitely agree that jellyfin’s security issues are also bad, and should be fixed.

On the one hand, maybe. On the other hand, the point here was more that the centralised design of Plex that necessitates an online account which might hold some private data makes such issues much worse, not that jellyfin’s issued should not be fixed.

Maybe? Like, I’d very much prefer they fix them, even though they do not impact my use case.
