My guess is not a whole lot to the average user, but it would allow for things to still respond when other things have bogged down resources. I am assuming real world applications would be industry like a machine safery stop should always have a quick turn around, and not be delayed by harddrive writes. But may like how they write special OS code for spacecraft where sending and receiving instructions on board has special states and if response isn’t given in timely manner the system can recognize, so malfunctions are prevented. There was an artivle/podcast somewhere abouy how this all had to work in realtime and not be queued waiting

Zorin looks really nice and clean. I’m still waiting for them to release the Grid management tool…if that is actually going to happen

When I installed it it suggested turning that service off onvthe host. If you search online there are many suggestions on shutting off that stuff so 53 is left for pihole

https://github.com/jkbenaim/hs100 also works on some models not listed

Im surprise they installed them in the first place. First thing I did when somebody gave me TPlink Kasa smart plugs and switches was run the github code to swap the remote server lookup to 127.0.0.1

Same

It could have been earlier? i tried Ubuntu around 2012. I didn’t know how to get rid of the Amazon stuff, and it turned me off Linux…thinking why use this OS that is ad based…wasn’t till 2017 when W10 made our computers slow that I tried linux again.

Yeah being locked into an application sucks. I was lucky that the Proprietary CAD package we run had a linux version. Sadly Siemens decided linux share was low so dropped the GUI version of it, but left us cli version for batch processing work, so back to Windows to be on latest release.

What is your use case?

Binary blobs i thought

Sure, but RustDesk is not entirely opensource, there are key binary parts.

My dad had some albums, maybe Mike Oldfield or others…there was a train going through a station, and hearing it pass from left to right in stereo was amazing at the time

I guess i was meaning compared to DOS but modern Windows, where stupid stuff is broken, and they care more about ads than creating a clean OS

It still amazes me how well thought out unix was for the era when computing was in its infancy. But I guess that is what you get with computer science nerds from Universities and a budget for development based on making a product the goal, not quarterly profit the goal.

The stuttering YT showed up for me recently, it was fine months back. Something change in Firefox or a linux package, but I have been too lazy to investigate since I rarely watch youtube

Gimp works really well, just that it is destructive editting.

As for the software not having features or not being useful, part of that comes down to: if a company offers a linux version make sure you use it. For a proprietary MCAD and PLM system from Siemens, we had a unix version, then windows, then when Linux was viable with support on SUSE and RHEL we had the exact software OEM aerospace and Automotive engineers used for design and management. Trouble is not enough companies used it to make supporting it a worthwhile effort, so they ditched the GUI desktop support. You can still run the few years old version. Maybe it will come back with Linux rising from 1-2% to 4.5% ; if that trend continues

SUSE / OpenSUSE has this. You can open Yast2 GUI utilities and access all the GUI utils like Windows old Command Center. Hardware, package and driver installs, add hardware and configure, network, enable services and tweak parameter, printer tools, mess with boot options or kernel parameters, etc. The average user would never need to touch CLI

Sorry I was thinking of when you have yubikey setup with PIN code for access. But yeah, I guess the attack vector is clandestine theft and replace.

I have the opposite. Old Logitech bluetooth mouse on W10, Windows will pair with it but next boot it totally will not reconnect, no matter what, unless I delete paired device and re-add it. It was fine on W7. Linux has no issue reconnecting to it.

What kind of diagram are you going to make?
