True, it’s just an example to always look at the output. I’ve definitely used that in Fedora to reinstall packages when something stopped working after an upgrade.

(Maybe this doesn’t happen by itself in Debian but I wouldn’t trust Ubuntu for example)

Apparently apt has a stroke sometimes. I don’t think I’ve had an update fuck up this bad but it’s better to read the output so you know what changed in case something stops working.

I’d like to one day have the confidence to do upgrade -y

Technically alt + shift changes between languages and ctrl + shift changes between layouts within the current language. Win + spacebar circles through all of them. So if you want to change from qwerty to dvorak I don’t think alt + shift will work, at least in windows 10.

Not exactly mine but I’ve used it. I have a fast but data-limited internet connection and a slower unlimited connection. When I need the faster connection to do something I connect to it through wifi while staying connected to the other through Ethernet. Then use this project to bind a specific app to wifi while everything else keeps using Ethernet. It uses LD_PRELOAD to link its own version of network connect that calls the real method. There’s definitely a better way to do this with iptables but it’s a good enough patch for when needed.

And there goes the rest of my afternoon

Not sure about hangout, meet works fine just without some features. The main ones are sharing a specific tab and blurred/custom backgrounds but there might be some other minor stuff that I’ve never tried.

Imo it doesn’t make much sense to advertise an OS while it’s still required to install it manually. Last time I was looking for a laptop I couldn’t find a store selling anything with Linux or even without Windows pre-installed. How many people will be convinced by an ad to look up instructions online and actually go through the process?

Will check that, thanks

Something that comes up a lot but probably can’t be made open source is a wallet app. But if we ignore the payments part, Google wallet has some really nice features when dealing with plane tickets which I’d love to see in a standalone open source app.

The original image said windows where this would be accurate but I doubt it applies to the average linux user

Also worth mentioning you can copy more files on it afterwards and it works as normal storage too.

I’ve had that issue with windows. Will also see myself out.

Sorry gotta disagree here. I know several people who use Workstation professionally. Even on Linux

If you don’t need many features it’s easier to quickly set up and create a vm than VirtualBox. Well until now anyway. I haven’t tried the other alternatives mentioned here, they might be better in that aspect too.

Sadly that means the second screen not working properly

Honestly, I was forced to use it for a project and then just stuck with it for its simplicity

Interesting, I didn’t know about virt-manager. I might try one of those, thanks for the suggestion.
