Oh, that’s pretty sick.

I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for but what your post reminds me of is ReactOS, though that’s more of a rewrite of actual Windows than a Linux distro.

As for it feeling quicker due to it being a fresh install, don’t really expect it to slow down. Windows always slows down over time because its Registry is clogged, the code gets more bloated over time with updates, and the filesystem is kind of trash.

Linux generally stays quite nimble and quick in the long-term. It’s why you can take a decade old computer and still accomplish quite a bit on it with Linux.

This sounds like macOS (in a good way). Is the window really closed or just hidden?

What does that mean?

Look I love GPL to death but I’m not going to pretend that every OS vendor on the planet needs to give away everything for free.

You can like two things at once, and in my case I love my walled garden, commercial OS for end-user stuff as well as Linux for networking gear and servers. I used desktop Linux for awhile but at the end of the day I like things like Airdrop, AirPlay and the seamlessness of it all.

Honestly, I like BSD operating systems more so than Linux ones despite the licensing arrangements. Linux is open as hell (obviously) but it’s super disorganized. I haven’t found a package manager I like as much as pkg (especially installing binary packages and compiled from source packages side by side with shared libraries).

Looking forward to being downvoted to hell for having a differing view of Linux than all the recent Windows converts.

I’m mostly used to it now. Though -r is supported in macOS’ rm command I still prefer -R and use it even on Linux where I believe -r is the preferred argument.

Actually that’s a good point that I’ve completely forgotten. Docker uses the modern macOS APIs for virtualization these days, and uses Rosetta2 for amd64 containers.

Edit: Damn you’ve got me excited about FreeBSD again. I’m a much bigger fan of FreeBSD on bare metal but do love Docker and related Linux goodness!

It is now, but it was bash before.

But in any case once you start doing anything remotely advanced you’ll find the individual command line utilities are wildly different between macOS and Linux. They seem (are?) much closer to FreeBSD than GNU utilities.

That’s interesting. I haven’t really used Windows since the XP days so I didn’t realize there was already some VM stuff going on to begin with.

I always wonder how Docker works on macOS with a more UNIX-style kernel than Linux when even FreeBSD gave up on the effort.

I understand macOS is way closer to Linux than Windows (despite its differences) but is it really that hard to do Docker/OCI out of Linux?

Why did they give up on the wine-like approach? That seems so much better than running an entire VM (not even a Microsoft person but still).

I already VPN 99% of my traffic out of the country and use non-US services wherever I can. When Trump was first elected I started wondering if they’re going to start a China-style firewall out of the country and it’s been in the back of my mind since.

It’s actually a pretty fantastic distribution and soothes my FreeBSD-based snobby notions of a clean, organized OS.

By far my favorite desktop-oriented Linux distro but damn do I wish it were available for arm64.

I see this too and it’s caused by the actual server not having a certificate belonging to the domain. It’s likely a configuration problem (and okay) but I don’t like to take chances.

If they offer a torrent, perhaps it’s better to use that for now.

/dev/sda3 would be one partition no?

Is this a NAS by chance? What I do is I have the boot and root partitions unencrypted but all my files, media, etc are encrypted. If the power goes out I SSH in, mount it and start up file sharing services. Sure it’s a bit tedious, but at least if someone breaks into my apartment and runs off with my drives they won’t see the actual contents.

My motto is “macOS/iOS on desktop/phone,” Linux on everything else. I’m a programmer by day but I don’t want to fight for all the features I take for granted in Apple’s walled garden.

Haters might hate, and I still love watching Linux development but I’m more into server/CLI stuff on Linux than I am trying to make Gnome/KDE/Wayland as seamless as macOS.

mkdir /dir
cd /dir
cd /dir
mkdir 2
cd /dir
cd /dir/2
cd /dir
mv 2 /2
cd /2
mkdir /dir/3
rm -f 3

Didn’t they just recently (like, yesterday?) suggest we all use encrypted calling apps due to the Chinese hacks on US telecoms that took advantage of these back doors?
