The distro sucks anyway. They ship really fucking old packages, even more so than Debian or other stable distros.
Why are you guys so obsessed with the latest packages? A lot of new stuff doesn’t work on older PCs which is also Linux’s target market.
Not all of us use older PC’s. I really don’t care what other people use but I like being on the latest version of whatever software I’m using. Also, I used endeavourOS on a Thinkpad T-420 and didn’t have any issues with running the latest software on that laptop from 2012. I’m not saying you haven’t had issues but it isn’t exactly black or white. Older PC’s are not Linux’s target market. Everything is Linux’s target market. Linux will run on everything from a Pentium II laptop to a $50,000,000 super computer.
I stopped reading about here. I can already tell the rest is a “me, me, me!” ramble about how the world should appeal to you and you only.
Just don’t use Zorin, you’re not their target market.
Kind regards.
If you actually read it you’d know that wasn’t true. My point was Linux is very scalable and what works for me might not be what works for you and vice verca. Use whatever you want, I don’t care. You can use fucking Windows for all I care.
It is marketed as direct windows replacement, so it appears they choose absolute safety, over possible breakage. If that GRID product they tout ever launches it will be great for companies.
…Except there are three players in that game already. Go by the names of Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu
We see SUSE and REL at corps and enterprises, not so much Ubuntu. None offer something like GRID though. Central management tool for Admins to deploy all systems equally from central location, with dashboard view, without having to run scripts or autoYAST to keep systems the same
Ubuntu is deployed all over the place for data science.
I’m fairly sure this is because data scientists got used to running it on their personal machines and can’t be bothered to learn another distro.
Ubuntu made Linux easily accessible to anyone, so you are probably right.
For the enterprise stuff we work with only REL and SUSE are certified to install on, and work with the software. OpenSUSE works too because of the shared binaries with SUSE
