In my book WSL and VM share the same downside in that you’re only abstracting Linux functionality in relation to the hardware.

Linux really shines when it has full access to the actual hardware as opposed to asking it’s environment nicely if it’s allowed to do something.

For example, I routinely need to change my IP address to talk to specific networks and network hosts, but having to step over the virtualisation or interpretation layer to do so is just another step, thus removing the advantage of running linux in the first place.

Sure, VMs and dual booting have their uses, but the same uses can be serviced by an actual linux install while also being infinitely more powerful.

I played around with WSL for a while, but you notice really quickly that it is not the real thing. I’ve used virtual box for some use cases, but that too feels limiting ad all of the hardware you want to fully control is only abstracted.

I would say that unless he has a really good reason why he wouldn’t want to go for dual boot, then he should do just that.

Seasons still play a part. While Green Day would have to sort out the cadence for the rewrite, referring to fall would make sense instead.

I prefer the way Mars lacks a calendar. Due to us placing a lot of stuff there, we need to refer to dates. Basically, the system just refers to days as Sol, and each individual date is Sol 1, Sol 2, and so forth until the end of the year. I don’t see why this wouldn’t work on other planets as well. Months don’t really serve a practical function anyway.

Because right wingers spent the past ten years repackaged the fear mongering about “The Gay Agenda” and call it woke instead.

I’ve been there a bunch. It’s a bit expensive and peopley, but It’s OK*

By promoting the distros that have this as a goal, such as Mint.

I would suggest Ubuntu in this category, but… eww…

Pretty much when you posted that, I found this in my dmesg:

[  715.744332] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: Interrupt Throttling Rate (ints/sec) set to dynamic conservative mode
[  715.965683] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid
[  716.008541] e1000e: probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -5

Just for the record, I compared modinfo up against lspci, and the PCI ID matches, so the driver should work. Is it possible to ignore the NVM checksum and try anyway? Because any tool I can find that communicates with the EEPROM on a hardware level is made for msdos.

Derp, I don’t think I ever did a modprobe. Anyway, I did an rmmod as I found out that there’s a newer version out, and I’m currently working on building the new version.

UPDATE: Newer version built, installed, and loaded.

I have not. In fact, I’d never even heard of it until you mentioned it.
But I sure as hell will give it a go now that I am aware of its existence. Thanks for the tip!

I’d be out of a job too

I don’t know, we usually buy in bulk. I tried finding the invoice we got after a pallet of 15TB tapes, but I can’t seem to find it.

There are also different tape types depending on which capabilities you need, which of course affects the price as well. We use a few variations on the IBM 3592 tape, but most of them are WORM, and in a tape format that “anyone” can read.

I too prefer GOG, but the fact that they still haven’t made a native linux port of GOG Galaxy causes me to mostly use Steam. I usually use GOG for indie stuff and thingsI want without it being tied to a launcher or DRM.

Oh, and I recently bought Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 there, as I felt it was about time I gave Chris Sawyer some money for all the fun the pirated version I downloaded 25 years ago have provided.

I’m european, is Whataburger and a Shiner Boch exotic? Or brisket at golden coral with authentic Galvestonian chlorine water to drink?

It’ll be fine. Things have a tendency of working themselves out.
And if someone hates you for it, that’s on them and not you.

Also, let us know how it went!

He lived a long life and died peacefully, thinking he got away with it all. That only means bringing him back for punishment would be the perfect surprise of an afterlifetime.
