Phoenixan posted:gnome and kde have better scaling support than regular Ubuntu with unity in my experience no doubt, i was honestly more worried about the hardware having drivers. i'm not even sure if that's a major problem with laptops these days

Highly depends on the laptop. Some won't even boot properly on Lunix because they feature dumb proprietary junk.

eschaton posted:I've been using Command Tool under OpenWindows 3 lately, it's been interesting, it reminded me a lot of the Transcript app under Andrew eschaton it is good to see you come to your senses and use an actually-good unix just imagine the world that could have been, if apple had followed through on solaris licensing

I always hated solaris as a user, but that was probably mostly just because our sparc workstations were so goddamn slow well, that and the terrible userland unless you installed a bunch of gnu tools basically good technology doesn't mean much if your users are begging you to switch to linux because it runs on better cheaper hardware and has nicer ux by default

writing a disk image is an intrinsically dangerous operation and users are trained to ignore ANY warning, no matter how big, red, intrusive, etc "blame the user" is the only option here

aren't you also supposed to use the if= and of= flags with dd? what a dumb dumb.

there are better tools, like the https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/. this tool even prevents the user from installing a wrong desktop linux

Suspicious Dish posted:cool i love blaming the user if a mentally competent adult picks up a gun, loads it, disengages the safety, points it at their own foot, and pulls the trigger, who else would you suggest blaming for the outcome? it is reasonable to assume that people trying to install red hat enterprise linux probably have a basic level of Linux competency and can be expected to know that dd is dangerous.

there's something about the design flaw in root commands here which is a totally valid criticism on the current state of unix butHaquer posted:mount -l too hard this dd is dangerous and not something that he should have muscle memory to type all the time?

proposed solution: captchas but for idiots. every time you try to run a shell command as root, you have to convince the computer you're not an idiot before it will proceed proposed implementation: it just blocks all commands, because there's no way to prove you're not an idiot in the face of the evidence that you're using linux
