Especially if the company is a Microsoft shop to begin with.

Nonsense, MS has an Intune client for Linux.

The IT security teams just don’t know how to enforce the company policies on Linux machines

Too bad. Skill issue. They need to learn how to manage Linux just like any other new tech.

What about Windows?

Every Microsoft forum suggestion:

sfc /scannow

I see that as full UI/UX behaviour that behaves almost identical to Windows/Mac (is no middle click to paste).

Linux is not Windows. Stop trying to make it work like Windows. Windows is crap and I don’t want Linux to work like it.

Expecting Linux to work like Windows is how new people get frustrated. Have you heard anyone say that macOS needs to be like Windows to succeed? Of course not. So stop saying that about Linux.

Also, “no middle-click to paste” is astonishingly stupid, I’ve been using it hundreds of times per day for way over a decade now. It’s one of the most useful and helpful features I’ve ever used.

Without “App” though, that slipped through because someone wrote “the Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

That makes it semi-official. If Microslop put that on their official website for the product, that makes it official to a degree.

They did not fucking rename Microsoft Office.

Well, you’re half right, except Microsoft did rename Office years ago to “Microsoft 365”.

Edit: ignore the “Microslop” spelling. I have a uBlock filter enabled.

Microsoft 365 Copilot App

That’s the official name

Would a VM not work? Seems like the perfect use case for a VM.

I am not looking for software alternatives.

Then just use Windows or a Mac.

if Plex enshittifies.

Anyone want to break the news?

HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264

In some scenarios, it can. Generally I’d say it’s about a 20-30% reduction in size.

But it’s still Windows.

Doesn’t matter how much hot sauce and cinnamon you dunno on to a turd, it’s still a turd.

Oh really? I have Bazzite on my TV laptop. Perfect way to try it. Thanks!

How did you get it running? I’ve tried compiling it on a fresh Arch and fresh Ubuntu 22.04 install and the compiler breaks halfway through.

I only spent about 10 or so minutes each time trying to fix it and moved on.

am i the weird one here for only putting effort into services i have other users for or actually enjoy doing?

Absolutely not.

Whenever I screw something up or something goes sideways. Or when I’m migrating from one host to another.

Not really useless, it’s an extra layer of management (a good thing). The Proxmox system can be nearly static while giving you external level management of the OS that manages the containers.

I have a 3 server Proxmox cluster running various VMs doing different things. Some of those VMs are my container systems.

Besides, you can run containers directly on Proxmox itself.

I’ve never worked with buildpack, so that’s interesting

Sure, ZFS snapshots are dead simple and fast. But you’d need to ensure that each container and its volumes are created in each respective dataset.

And none of this is implying that it’s hard. The top comment was criticizing OP for using VMs instead of containers. Neither one is better than the other for all use cases.

I have a ton of VMs for various use cases, and some of those VMs are container/Docker hosts. Each tool where it works best.

Backups? I have an automatic job running every night.

It’s not the same. You then need to manage volumes separately from images, or if you’re mounting a host folder for the Jellyfin files then you have to manage those separately via the host.

Container images are supposed to be stateless. So then if you’re only banking up the volumes, then you need to somehow track which Jellyfin version it’s tied to, in case you run into any issues.

A VM is literally all of that but in a much more complete package.
