good on you! I just recently did the same thing as you (cos of some work apps that only work with windows right now)
small question, did you go with silverblue or workstation?
I went with silverblue and it’s a bit annoying looking up guides/forums posts because they all use dnf 😭
oh look they care about it now it’s affecting them
“waaaaah please give us exemption so we can profit off of stolen works waaaaaaaahhhhhh”
You can find utterly vile replies from blue checks on that site now, even on the most heavenly, innocent, morally correct tweet. It’s insane.
thank you for the recommendations!
profiting off of user generated content 😒
I wish there were more focus on the desktop and app gui side of things on Linux
sure using the terminal to install things is very efficient but some people just want an install button and a gui that they don’t have to use more than 2 braincells to figure out why package not found or some obscure error with an app for the next 2 hours with forum pages full of condescending non answers
AGI coming tomorrow! (tomorrow never comes)
over the time of chatgpt’s existence I’ve seen so many people hype it up like it’s the future and will change so much and after all this time it’s still just a chatbot
GOOD
You have backup and tape but not shared storage‽ Wut‽
I meaaannn we have one shared drive on the network when we want to share database backups and stuff with each other but for the kind of work we do we only really need to store the important stuff on git repos and external servers with a bunch of virtual machines
my brain tired now, I stop talking about this
Yes, of course. IMO OneDrive is much easier for the end user instead of having to remember to store files in a share or using folder redirection which is prone to fail sometimes. Because using OneDrive they only have to store files where they normally store them and they get automatically synced and backed up to OneDrive. Something being easy is a huge benefit because it will ensure documents and everything else is backed up properly and it reduces support load.
fair fair
Please tell me you have some kind of backup of those computers where you don’t use shared storage or apparently anything “proper”.
many backups and tape drives when we max out storage. we’re good
Btw, GPOs only work using a domain. You are probably using local policies and those are sometimes not as likely to work.
our user accounts are on a domain
You don’t use Windows home too, right?
no ew
pretty small company so the accounts are all local, we don’t need to go as crazy as setup workstations and shared storage and all that.
It’s much better than the old way of home folders in a file share.
arguably subjective
not the point of my comment
I invite you to try to make an image of windows 11 that doesn’t have OneDrive sync installed
windows 11 has a onedrive sync service that is almost impossible to disable even with group policy and all that.
I tried to make a clean image of the OS that could be booted from the network. never again.
just look for hyper evolved salamanders, that’s what happened in voyagers warp experiment gone wrong
bunch of daredevils that can somehow cross roads WHILE CARS ARE SPEEDING BY in expert fashion
I haven’t, this is cool 👀👀
