Not only a skill issue, but also a time issue. Our security team is plenty of skill and COULD learn how to manage Linux, but they do not have the time to do so. Everything has to be prioritised and they choose to support Win and Mac and move on to something else.
Honestly WSL2 is pretty good now. I have Fedora running in it and use basically the same config files as my personal laptop. Neovim behaves exactly the same across both. The only problem I have is that CTRL+V get intercepted by the terminal before it get to vim. That means that block visual mode is not available to me.
That and multiple desktops feels REALLY clunky, even compare to Gnome.
WSL is reasonable bearable, you can install Fedora instead of the default Ubuntu/Debian too. My work PC started out on 10 and is now on 11. I think I changed the terminal program, but the one I use may be the default in Win11. Honestly, I think the only programs I run outside WSL are a browser, DaVinci Resolve and Reaper (replaced Kdenlive and Ardour, both of which I prefer).
I am able to use the same neovim config on both my home (fedora) and work laptops, which is pretty handy.
At the end of the day it is their computer, not yours.
2 problems this week
Accidentally had 2 Jellyfin pods trying to write to SQLite together and corrupted the DB. Not really anyway to fix it so just killed it and rebuilt the library.
Also, my son’s Minecraft server got corrupted. Longhorn backup to the rescue 🛟
We have both.
Kodi use Jellyfin for its media library and Kodi is excellent for a lot of the TV we watch. catch Up TV has replaced the decoder for watching terrestrial TV.
One thing that sucks in Kodi though is Arte (a franco-german channel that is a leans towards “intellectual”). For that, the LG WebOS app is much better than the Kodi add-on. Other than that 1 app, we could happily plug Kodi into digital signage panel if they weren’t stupidly expensive.
I cannot fathom why, but people do not seem capable of understanding resolution, screen size and viewing distance as important factors that interplay with each other.
8k is absolutely pointless on a 49" TV that is several metres away. However, I will take 4k over 1080 on even a 24" computer screen every time.
That is just me though, your preferences and vision may be different to mine. Same with the monitors. You like multiple screens, I prefer a single larger screen.
It is a VM so fully sandboxes. All the sharing is smokes and mirrors (often in pretty cool ways)
