Thanks for your reply. I understand a lot better now.

The comment said it was proprietary and uses signal and MLS.

Maybe I misunderstood.

I didn’t know MLS and Signal were Google proprietary. TIL. Thanks.

It’s a shame Apple decided not to implement e2ee like Google did.

This is an older article, but there is still no movement. https://forums.appleinsider.com/discussion/234352/apples-flavor-of-rcs-wont-support-googles-end-to-end-encryption-extension

I’ve used Linux for decades but not for desktop usage. I work with Linux every day.

I recently purchased a high end workstation to act as a hypervisor for multiple desktop systems. The plan was to boot into a Linux system and then from there load up one of many desktop OS and work seamlessly within a VM. This has worked well on a Windows host with VMWare Workstation and allows me as a contractor to have separation of configuration between customers.

However I found Linux desktop to have too many glitches. From failed package installs, multiple monitor problems and some special keys being sent to both VM and host. I also found the user interface of some apps to be bad, which I can look past but with the other fundamental issues it added a bad taste to the experience. I really want it to work and I do go back every now and then to try again.

I wish there were more popular Linux memes, the constant flood of anti Windows stuff is getting old. Surely there are some great (or bad) stuff about Linux that is just as meme worthy.

Hey come on. You sound far too reasonable.

Don’t you know this is the KDE community where we discuss topics about KDE hate on Windows.

Maybe we should make windowsmemes.

This community may as well be hatewindowsmemes

Like muhyb says it’s likely because EU don’t allow this.

That may be it.

I have never seen an ad. I’ve not put any effort into debloat. It’s this all just bs?

Edit: Plenty of down votes for asking a question. Great community guys.

I don’t think marked girl gas necessarily has no ethanol. It’s just tax free.

Edit: typo

It can be reverted in settings. I just did this it was driving me mad. Why have the option for tabs without a close all option.

Linux is great until it isn’t. As soon as you venture outside of whatever packages user interfaces offer you, the “degree” analogy applies. For some, the thought of editing a text file to configure an option blows their mind.

Reminds me of the package “cmatrix”

That’s odd. Has always been dependable for me and my family over the years.

LVM allows online resizing of volumes, and includes redundancy features such as snapshots and raid.

It’s used a lot more in services than laptops.

It’s been a while since a power cut affected my services, is this why?

I remember having to troubleshoot mysql corruption following abrupt power loss, is this no longer a thing?

I use discord when playing video games with my daughter. It’s improved our experience immensely.

Audio chat, webcam and screen sharing are a great combination.

Can you recommend an alternative?

This takes a few minutes to test, so I did.

TLDR: You can do it in Win11 Pro at least, but the interface tries really hard to steer you into a Microsoft account.

Used the Windows image tool at https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

This created me a 23H2 ISO

Created a VM in VMWare Workstation and started setup

When asked for the key, I chose “I don’t have a product key”

When asked for version, I chose “Windows 11 Pro”

After the restart, during OOBE, it asks me how I would like to setup, I chose “work or school”

When asked to sign-in to Microsoft, I chose “Sign-in options”

I then chose to “Domain join instead”

I’m then asked to create a new standard user
