     @mona Congratulations microsoft for gaining yet another fanboy that obeys your orders unquestionably, which obey even to the point that their thoughts are shaped to to point that they think your proprietary malware is "need"(ed) - without even realizing it.
     
     Rejoice, as rather than escaping to freedom by installing GNU/Linux, all of them are content with installing systemd/Linux inside a carefully watched, glorified VM (we can't have them writing free software without being able to grab every line and insert it into proprietary software can we?).
     
     They even go so far as to refer to the systemd OS as "Linux" - just as the proprietary plan requires.

     @SuperSnekFriend@poa.st why would i ditch windows when I can run Linux natively on top of my Windows forever losing the need to access Linux through a VM or duelboot and keep all the things I need on Windows?

     @mona >I can remote into another machine with audio input and output bridged with low latency
     I can remote into any GNU machine anywhere in the world even over a connection slower than dialup and carry out any required computing tasks via ssh.
     
     I can even tunnel X over that ssh session for GUI things, but why would I want to do that?
     
     Meanwhile good luck getting RDP to work over even high-speed 56k dial-up.
     
     >a feature that's been available on macos and windows for years
     Taking a gamble I reckon GNU/Linux had that feature before macos and windows did, via VNC.
     
     There is free software that does such sort of remote desktop feature; https://remmina.org/ and supports all the protocols; RDP, VNC, SPICE, ssh+X etc
     
     To get audio input and output bridged, you'll need to have systemd/Linux with pulseaudio installed, but of course you'll love that.
     
     But of course you won't come to freedom - you'll continue surrendering your freedom to microsoft no matter what.

     @SuperSnekFriend >Thinking WSL or VM
     "WSL2" is a VM that does pretty much what virtualbox does, except worse.
     
     "WSL1" was a worse implementation of what cygwin or MSYS2 offered (except they slapped something in that was pretty much reverse WINE to not require recompilation of software written for GNU/Linux), with GNU, but no Linux.

     @mona >99% of their bullshit is avoided by using a different version and blocking them with firewall rules
     That is a false sense of security - every single update adds more malware and spyware - meaning every firewall rule added is soon bypassed.
     
     >testing with a (bad) meme distro like arch, memeifing it even harder and blaming anything but yourself when it turns out not to work.
     I tested out Remmina on Gentoo and it worked fine with acceptable latency, so you have skill issues.

     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com microsoft isn't a god and 99% of their bullshit is avoided by using a different version and blocking them with firewall rules also I've used that setup before as I've ran linux only for many years and guess what? remotely accessing a device via ssh works fine, via GUI is a little bit more iffy and not the same as RDP, RDP however works 100% and using the free software to access another machine with my audio pass through it either is multiple seconds behind or it sounds just awful this with a systemD free system running arch accessing another device on the same network in the same switch
     
     now let's review this as I've done this exact setup on the following systemslaptop running windows 10 ltsc
     laptop home baked arch install no systemd^ the arch system was ran on the same laptop before that it was on an old imac but both had the same issue mac pro 2013 running latest macOS with open coreonly the mac and windows install was able to complete this task with high quality and low latency the setup to complete this task on either a Windows system or macOS system took 5 minutes to install all needed software and configure
     
     running this same task on my arch install with the software you listed took some googling and setting it up for the first time about 15 minutes of installing researching why it wouldn't work at first and finally getting it to work with worse results
     
     so at the end of the day this is a single part of my workflow that sure it /works/ but it doesn't work as well or is as simple and why would i waste time when i can get back to work faster on another system?

     @mona @SuperSnekFriend @DarkMahesvara @skylar With the Win11 specs requirement and bypassing there's a potential danger of updates breaking a system when they are compiled with the new CPUs in mind. And since running below the minimum specs isn't supported it's a nice "feature" for MS to force even more people to buy new HW.

     @skylar Many computers from 2009 weren't in fact slow and stuff like 16GB of RAM wasn't unheard of.
     
     Computers haven't got that much faster since 2009, since the main thing slowing things down is memory speeds and memory hasn't got that much faster - the main improvement has been power efficiency, but power consumption wise, the amount required for manufacturing exceeds the efficiency gains if one partakes in the typical degenerate behavior of landfilling a computer every 2 years and buying a new one.
     
     A good computer from 2009 would only would require a drive upgrade to a SSD to run most of the currently available proprietary malware, alas microsoft is really good at making things exponentially more bloated and slower.

     @phnt @skylar When it comes to software actually designed to run on the kernel, Linux - Linux does a much better job than windows.
     
     Linux's SYSCALL ABI has not changed, so you can install whatever version of systemd/Linux and the elf prime that does DeCSS will still run.
     
     Although windows tries not to change anything and thus maintain legacy compatibility - many versions of old software is broken on windows 10.
     
     With the source code of the software, you just compile it, fix up any compile failures and suddenly you have a working binary.

     legacy software is the worst part, but windows is miles ahead of anything else for legacy compatibility. you can be reasonably sure that an application from 15, 20, or even more years ago is going to still work today. on linux, you're going straight to dependency hell from the decades worth of accumulated breaking changes.

     That is a false claim.
     Android uses Linux as its kernel and its userbase is far larger than Windows.
     
     It's true that windows has a larger userbase currently than GNU/Linux or systemd/Linux, but GNU/Linux adoption is increasing, while windows usage is *dropping*.

     @skylar @mona @SuperSnekFriend and if you don't know how to do this stuff manually, you have wonderful tools like chris titus' winutil: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

     i'd also recommend explorerpatcher for those on windows 11 who want to bring back windows 10 features: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

     if you want to go even further, you can use the answer file method when installing windows, customizing it exactly how you want it to start as: https://github.com/memstechtips/UnattendedWinstall

     a good windows install using these simple tools is a much better experience than linux is in my personal opinion. that isn't to say that linux is a bad experience if you know what you're doing and really like tinkering around with things, but at the end of the day i just like the way windows works more. it makes it easier for me to do everything that i need to do instead of fiddling with things as much. and as much as it sucks, most software either works better on windows or the commercial software is leagues better than the foss stuff. i still have yet to find a colorblind filter better than windows' for instance, and the one that someone made for me for linux just didn't work and neither of us could figure out why... which seems to be a trend when it comes to me and linux lol.

     right now i'm running win11 and i don't even have notifications, the action center, copilot, cortana, bing search, any telemetry garbage, stripped out services, and more and it only took a little bit of work to setup. explorerpatcher was a godsend too, because i'm much more familiar with win10. win11 gets a little toooo modern with things, i think win10 is a really good sweet spot between looking nice and being functional.

     that being said, i had to upgrade to windows 11 because my win10 install decided to shit itself. i had that happen with a mint installation though recently too so it's not like linux is free from random issues popping up like that either. don't know what happened to the windows one, but the mint one i think it's because something updated without another thing updating first and it destroyed it to the point i had to just do a fresh install.

     I don't think systemd is mandatory for either pulseaudio or pipewire.

     >When it comes to software actually designed to run on the kernel, Linux - Linux does a much better job than windows.
     Grab a 5 year old version of glibc and try to compile it on a modern toolchain. Spoiler alert: it will very likely fail, because the compiler is too new.
     
     >Linux's SYSCALL ABI has not changed, so you can install whatever version of systemd/Linux and the elf prime that does DeCSS will still run.
     The syscall ABI does not matter when glibc breaks ABI on almost every minor release. If you grab a compiled version of Firefox from 5 years ago and fix all the dynamic link errors with symlinks to your own libraries, it very likely won't run. A Windows version would. And also Linux ABI has changed, mainly when it comes to PCI calls. There was even a compatibility header for those changes that was removed somewhat recently.
     
     >Although windows tries not to change anything and thus maintain legacy compatibility
     Instead of changing the current API, they leave the old one in and create new calls that don't disrupt the old ones. A php mysql_real_escape_string basically. Something that is almost non-existent in the Linux world.
     
     >With the source code of the software, you just compile it, fix up any compile failures and suddenly you have a working binary.
     Yes, you can have a functioning binary. After many hours and sometimes days of fixing errors that is. I've done this myself to GCC and binutils when I was compiling the last version of them with Solaris 7 support. It's not trivial and prone to breaking if you don't fully understand the codebase.

     the flatpak hate is very justified but it's stuff nobody really gives a shit about
     
     > it uses shitton of disk space
     it uses less the more shit you install with it and can be further improved.
     and probably nobody suffers from lack of storage space on desktop today, I have root on 128gb ssd I got for $12, 55 flatpaks installed and there's still 40gb free to hide my porn in /lib64/. it sucks comparatively but people spend resources on way worse shit every day
     > the packages are poorly maintained and audited
     people will say this and point to AUR in the same breath. keeping your pc supplied with trusted software with cohesive supply chain takes effort and commitment, but most people run binaries from github so it clearly doesn't matter to them
     > the sandbox doesn't work
     this meme comes from the gay story news sites have been running, "flatpak is sandboxed like android :)". it's very much not like android and the defaults in most packages leave many holes to preserve expected functionalities - in this regard it's true that the sandbox is inadequate. but flatpak also lets you tweak it to restrict programs as much as you're comfortable with, and in this way the sandbox works perfectly well.

     @BronzeAgeHogCranker @Aether @SuperSnekFriend can recommend Bazzite.
     Been using it for the last week, and it's pretty "fire and forget". It incentivizes you to use containerization for the user applications, either with actual containers or with things like Flatpak, and I found out that Flatpak hate is unfounded.
     
     I'm having some problems with Wayland due to my Nvidia card, but the X11 session is rock solid. I just hope Nvidia gets their shit together before Fedora 40 (and, subsequently, Bazzite) gets rid of xorg.
     
     I just think I wouldn't recommend it for people who want to keep fiddling with the system, installing and testing different WMs and DEs, etc, as these atomic distros aren't made for that.

     bazzite.gg is a really good "justwerks" gaming distro, also they're based on Fedora Atomic Desktops which is doing some extremely cool shit around how system images/updates are released... tl;dr it's a lot more like how iOS/Chromebooks handle OS updates where you don't have to worry about stuff getting out of whack between updates

     Data is data. An NVME SSD will read data faster than SATA. Sure you're reading small bits so the difference is negligible especially if you're running RAID but you could just use HDDs at that point. I just don't quite understand the discrepancy here. You may have diminishing returns but it's still technically faster to use a storage device that plugs directly into the pcie slot

     That is a shit ton of data to load in a project. Granted I don't do video or audio production but your best bet would be faster storage which would be NVME. You could stick it on a NAS as well but you're limited mostly by whatever interface you're connected to whether that be a 1G ethernet port or like a SAS cable.

     @Humpleupagus @phnt @Suiseiseki @matty @nugger @sapphire @EllisDee NVMe is always gonna be faster than SATA, both in latency and throughput
     you have 4 lanes of PCIe so 4 or 8GB/s rather than 6Gb/s over SATA
     there's no SATA controller, nor the necessity to limit communication with the SSD to ATA commands
     it's (likely) linked direct to the CPU so there's no chipset in the middle splitting the bandwidth up between multiple devices on the bus

     That might be the issue. I just know that a lot of people have bench marked it and he performance just isn't there. Some people blame the software, some think it's due to the size x number of files, but the idea it's ntfs is interesting.

     On a side note Matty.... I've been building and setting up rigs for 30 years, and have built several used in audio production, and I have wired studios. Dante, rednet, aes50, etc. made a lot of that easier though. No more cable snakes and traps. Just ethernet.
     
     Lawyering just pays more, and gives me more time off. I can work three hours a day and live. 🤷♂️

     @dassauerkraut >like all of AutoCAD suites is windows based
     That is false.
     
     Sure there is some proprietary malware CAD software with developers so incompetent that it only runs on windows that somewhat operates - but making your business rely on that is of extreme risk (as the proprietary master or microsoft could command the software to stop working at any time and you couldn't do shit) and also costs a fortune in the long run.
     
     There exists a number of CAD suite's for LiGNUx that work just fine.
     
     I've noticed that FreeCAD works perfectly fine and is quite good for most design jobs (the interface seems counter-intuitive at first, but soon becomes quite pleasing as it's easy to set exact dimensions) with the only major issue being that performance with large designs is bad - but it is also rapidly improving and I do reckon it will eventually will become functionally superior to all proprietary CADs - just like all free software that has had substantial development work put into it.
     
     People in factory jobs and the like quite enjoy FreeCAD as there's no bullshit proprietary license or a fortune in monthly rent to pay and you can just shove in .step file and get out a drawing with labelled dimensions the other wagies can understand.
