Actually, KVM and Ansible are a big part of the industry. KVM as a hypervisor is widely acknowledged in enterprise environments. Meanwhile, Ansible provides great automation for system management tasks. Their combined use for virtualization management and provisioning is not just common but a best practice, backed by a plethora of successful deployments across various industries.

Linux is shit

I use GNU/Hurd btw

Let's peel it open and find out

What happens if there is no one around to tell us all about god? Do we all just goto hell because we didn't worship him? What if we didn't know god existed?

Join the Free World!

Remember that million page document people accept without reading?

More like half a million now probably

You can buy a external AR9271 WiFi adapter for $20 thats fully free software/free firmware.

I always thought the GNOME icon was a indirect meme about Richard Stallman eating something from his toe

We're you using the correct drivers for your graphics card?

I have been actively using GNOME for about a year now, honestly, it is the best one out of all of the desktop enviorments availible right now. I'm also pretty sure GNOME just got $1M+ to continue working on it. I don't mind the look, it is very simple.

I am trying to say you guys should set it up for them, make it easy for them. It is very easy to just setup a taskbar and let them click on the browser, file explorer, etc.

Be a good neighbor and teach them then. It's not as hard as most people think it is. I've taught my mom, grandma, and friend how to use Linux before. My grandma uses Debian daily and she only had experience with computers by playing those online casino sites. Now she does it in full freedom and now I saved her some extra dough to throw into becoming a online casino addict! Yay grandma!

How do you get image upload enabled btw?

I feel the same way sometimes. I'm a centrist as well, a lot of the people on both sidee in this platform do have extreme takes and have the "You must agree with me or I will ban you" attitude. I wish it was a bit more diverse, whenever I come on Lemmy it is completely saturated with leftists post. I have nothing against people on the left, its just the fact that content is so obviously saturated with it.

I don't think tagging GNU in front of Linux is dumb, people wouldn't care to figure out who they are and what its about if they didn't do that. You have to give credit to both of them. I still would want GNU there, even if I don't say it most of the time. I call it Linux mostly but sometimes I call it GNU plus Linux just to be accurate.

Honestly, if y'all would help your friend out with Linux they might be interested. If you just write down a note for them with the most basic commands for Debian, they would be okay.

DE: Use GNOME

Partiton layout: Use default /home for everything, don't make seperate partitions for /root, /var, etc.

Add their user(s) to the sudoers file

CTRL+ALT+T to open the command line

Basic commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Install Flatpak, and bookmark Flathub in their browser. That should be good enough and honestly anyone could figure this out.

I think its because we aren't allowed by default to post images, which I completely understand after what happened back a couple months ago. I've been using Lemmy for more then 4 months actively but yet I still don't have permission to post pictures because of the fact that I'm too lazy to even try to get it enabled. This is a major reason why we aren't seeing a lot of content.

Also, this tends to be mostly a leftist leaning app, so maybe some people get drawn away.
