  • People who sign these things know full well what they are doing

    FYI: tl;Dr version: there is a very good reason why System administration and integration is a 3 year long education, and trust me, from what I’ve seen you don’t meet that criteria.

    FYI: Long version. (Btw, I'm not working in the field, but I'm planning to, so please correct any misconceptions)

    The GDPR Exists, data protection laws exist, and it is your duty to inform other of what you are doing with that info, not the users. Premade docker images are shit for security, they are almost every time based on an old Version and such are vulnerable to Hacks like the SQL CVE just some Weeks ago. Your data will get leaked, your users data will get leaked, and you will be liable to all damage. If you want an alternative to the usual petition sites, you will also need to implement a working bot protection, trolls, etc, of which cloudflare or other CDNs will only do a fraction of. Your homelab needs to have a good uptime, regular sec updates, and competent security. Your own network will get ddosed as a result of the traffic, if you don’t have a good network plan. All of those are just a few things you have to think about when publishing to the internet, and which you apparently just don’t have the knowledge to do. :::




  • Just a heads up, you have apparently never helped any stranger.

    Once they know you can help for free, they will expect this of you all the time, for free.

    And the questions will be infuriating as ever. If you want to try it, just go to a beginners forum like gutefrage or your equivalent shitposting site and just answer every question on linux. No skipping.

    Trust me, or if you dont at least just get a second phone number for it so you dont have to migrate to a second one once you decided that it takes a way too big toll on your mental health





  • Thats what I mean, in the last few weeks/months, there was no big thing that win users needed to be able to switch.

    Linux in a vacuum is a great OS, and what it cant do in the context of Windows is more a „Proprietary formats and software being Industry standard” problem than a Linux problem.

    I’m not saying that everyone should just abandon the standards , but that if you need to have these standards, nothing is going to change in a production envoirment that magically makes Linux work for you (in home you can argue about VMs and proton, but that’s not a valid tactic for companies), and you need to keep using windows.

    And the other way around, if you don’t need any of these standards, you don’t have any reason to still use Windows, except that you don’t want to change.


  • This.

    For Years, you had the Option to use Linux. Since the release of the win 11 beta, Linux has not made any relevant big steps. The leopards have simply decided to eat your face this time.

    A refugee would be someone losing their home in a bombing. A windows 10 turned Linux user is more like a Trump voter turned no kings protestor because he though sending the government emails will sure stop the anti trans laws.

    And no, sOmE uSeRs hAvE tO uSe WinDoWs is not an argument. If everyone who was still on windows until now was reliant on it, why are they installing and switching to Linux? Every new Linux user is someone who was simply too ignorant to install it.




  • is the only difference the syntax ? How libraries interact? How disks are mounted ?

    Ah, yes.

    You know, the things you just mentioned ARE the basic differences. As long as both work on the same architecture, and none reinvent the wheel, everything is the same.

    And as long as you don’t reinvent the computer and make a new assembly and binary, a kernel and libraries will be the most effective ways to work.

    Its like saying „what is the difference between python and c++ anyway? If we just strip away everything differentiating the 2, we just get a programming lang.

    And yes, I would prefer Linux, for the same reason a python Dev prefers python and a C++ Dev prefers C++: because I’m Used to the syntax and the quirks of Linux. I don’t want to jump back to the ungodly CLI of cmd, powershell and everything else. I have learned the ins and outs of Linux, and that’s how its gonna stay.







  • So, they’re basically bridges that allow you to use some Windows programs in Linux?

    They are like really Bad cocaine. Sure, it may work, but if you want to give up that much time, might as well learn an alternative because the next version will need a new workaround.

    I read they can use vst files with a bit of work

    That’s an emulator.

    Is there a difference between Wine and Proton

    Proton-ge is a fork of proton is a fork of wine, which only exists because Wine isnt made for gaming specifically and proton can’t include a bunch of stuff because of legal reasons which enhance gaming further.
