I’m a certified Linux professional of over 15yrs and I have never installed Arch. Not once, never needed it. It offers nothing I can’t either build myself or just install Debian and change what I need it to be.

This is a non story but people want to hate on MS so will grasp anything they can to try and make a thing out of it.

It’s is supported but iirc you still need to actually install flatpak before you can install anything from flathub.

You’ll find the instructions on the flatpak website.

Because I work with Linux/Unix systems on a daily basis.

It was easier for work.

My Nvidia works flawlessly. It’s only a 1060gtx but I’m running 570 drivers and the only real issue is it’s not open source.

Why don’t just use something like Joplin? Or you could try NovelWriter. Both are open source and easy to use.

I have flashes of Solaris in my mind :)

If you can’t provide a better reason than a meme you are already out of the running with life.

How did you test it’s apparent ‘slowness’? I use it and have no issue.

Fingers crossed for this. :)

It is actually.

Closed is closed is closed. Not even going to test on one of my VMs. :/

Oo ty for this I was toying with the idea of installing it but I guess I wont now :)

Only mentioning Reddit to say that r/vpn has a spreadsheet you can DL to view VPNs and lists what they offer.

Fucking hell that’s a real pain in the arse solution you have there.

If you have two drives then one will be sda and the other will be sdb. Install Windows first on sda (which will mean the boot sector is on sda) then install linux to sdb.

When you get to the part in the Linux installation process where it asks where you want the boot partition tell it to install on sda.

Then anytime you want to install and try a different distro just install to sdb with the boot sector on sda and grub will always detect and add Windows to the boot menu.

Ran that configuration for 10yrs zero issues.

Vi.

It’s on all corporate distributions.

I also use Joplin and while it might not look as good as some of the others it is highly customisable. :)

Um… I think Joplin allows you specify your own cloud service.

Mint. Just because it works with zero issues on the desktop. Everything else is either Rocky, RH or Debian.
