Thank you, that makes sense. I figure that separation provided by VMs and containers is also a security advantage, in case the software in them has vulnerabilities.

Thank you. Is the only reason that you run it in containers for the easy reproducibility, or is there any other reason that you want that separation from the bare metal OS?
Thank you. So the advantage of the isolation of LXC for you is to be able to tinker with the service without affecting the host.
Good idea, after having just spent quite a while setting mine and troubleshooting them (first time samba user).
I haven’t used the tool below, but I’ve seen it be recommended. Might it be kind of what you’re looking for?
Hadn’t heard of it before. Thanks.
No problem, I understand.
Has entered the Enterprise-only chat. :)
People are saying in another part of this thread that many games with anticheat actually work on Linux.
Same here. I’m going to be testing Mint and PopOS! soon.
I think this is the best assessment I’ve read yet of Windows 11. I just switched the OS on my work computer with a fresh install of Windows 11 and have run into a handful of issues and frustrations. This thing has been out for like 3 years now. It shouldn’t still be this problematic. I may end up switching to a long-term support version of Windows 10 that goes to 2027 or 2029. Unfortunately that’s only available for Enterprise editions, so I can’t do the same at home. I’m soon going to be dual- and triple-booting Linux at home.
Plus one.
@Legonatic@lemmy.world @birdcannon@lemmy.world - you might want to take a close look at Bitwig. It’s a top-notch DAW developed by former Ableton developers. I hear it’s fairly similar workflow to Ableton, but also that it’s better in certain ways. This is without even taking into consideration that Bitwig supports Linux. I don’t have any association with Bitwig, don’t even own it (yet?), but just wanted to let you know.
I think I’ve heard that some VST support may be tricky though. I could be misremembering, but also worth researching.
I haven’t switched or started dual-booting yet because I haven’t had time, but I’ve read the recommendation that the best way to do dual or even multiple boot is to have separate physical OS drives and select which one to boot from with the BIOS boot selector. Smaller SSD drives are pretty cheap these days, especially if you get them used on ebay or whatever. I picked up a Samsung 240 with 0% wearout for like $20 bucks.
Although I’m not surprised, it is interesting that the same big tech companies like Apple and Microsoft taking stances on being “environmentally conscious” while also ignoring forced obsoletion of old hardware.
That’s purely greenwashing marketing hype, with Apple being the worst offender. Now Microsoft seems to be following in their footsteps, although they’re still better in this regard than Apple.
Interesting, thanks!
Ah, interesting, thanks! The wikipedia article on PeerTube explains that it is indeed user peer to peer to some extent, using WebTorrent. I had no idea. Very interesting.
Wait, I thought that PeerTube was peer to peer in the sense that the various PeerTube server instances were peers, and not the users clicking and watching videos were peers. Am I mistaken? It seems that in order for the users to peer, they would need to either install a client program that would do that, or make some heavy browser security approvals. If it’s the servers that are peering, then this law shouldn’t apply to the users.
I’ve heard that there are some Mastodon apps that have their own algorithms, but unfortunately don’t remember any details. Perhaps that would be something to look into.
Thanks!
