Windows can also use NFS, but you have to enable it in the settings.

The Dyson sphere is pretty effective.

I have never see a tech illiterate person complain that Microsoft has a monopoly over computing.

Im not talking about the operating system switch. That is the trivial part. Getting software to run on wine can involve a tinkering. Sure you can run a VM, but then you have 2 operating systems you need to take care of. Also there are a lot of add on’s for proprietary programs that might not run well even if you got the bas program to run. And then if you go through the VM route you might need hardware Passthrough.

All these things are possible for people that want to put the time into it. But the majority of the population doesn’t want to spend time on stuff like this. They would rather pay for the convenience and put up with AD’s.

Take my father for example, he is completely incompetent when it comes to technology. His new PC has Windows 11 and he still plays Solitaire. Which is now plastered with AD’s, but he doesn’t care enough to do something about it.

The average end user just has his priorities somewhere else.

Yeah its called lemmy.

Yeah, but a lot of users want something that does exactly what they want without tinkering. Why does everyone in the Linux community project their readiness to tinker forever on the average user.

Just because there is a “alternative” doesn’t mean its nearly equal in functionality.

This is exactly what I expected and that isn’t a good thing to increase market share. The answer to how often the average end user opens a terminal is “no”.

I have experience with Vodafone, Deutsche Glasfaser and Unitymedia and they all did it like this. It also might depend on the state.

If your pc still boots.

I can only talk how it is in Germany, where CGNAT with a public IPv6 prefix is the norm and a public IPv4 costs extra money unless you have a legacy contract.

CGNAT usually only applies to the IPv4. The IPv6 prefix you get is usually public.

How? You can literally turn IPv4 off on your whole network, or selectively by device. But if you turn off your IPv4 you will get cut off of a good chunk of the internet.

And the only reason we have unused IPv4’s is because a big part of the internet is behind NAT of some kind like CGNAT.

We have more internet connections than IPv4’s they can’t just pull new ones out of their ass. Also IPv6 is internet too.

Good luck getting a non CGNAT connection here without paying for it. Also it’s not a breach of contract if it’s not in the contract…

Arent these 3 pretty irrelevant now(in the general population)? That doesn’t show a good track record.

Just making it harder to cheat and having a way to patch it and instantly get a wave of bans does discourage cheating quite a bit. Especially in paid games. You will never get rid of cheating completely, but cutting down on it and discouraging it is the name of the game.

The VPS I would book would be the same and the CPU is a unnamed intel 2.6 ghz, so that sounds good.
