I don’t think you should proactively “switch to Linux”. Instead you should “play with Linux”, ideally duel boot and a day will come when you can’t remember the last time you used Windows.

Since 2005 here.

It’s not they aren’t impacted only you “don’t see the impact” as noticeably.

Processor manufacturers target their devices and sales towards cloud computing so they have a huge incentive to avoid having issues like these. It’s ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Even if you resist TPM and WEI, if you don’t have WEI for whatever reason I don’t think you’ll be stopped from using Google services and YouTube… you’ll probably face a shut ton more captchas and 2FA checks whilst it wears down your sanity.

A linux distro is a linux distro. It’s you, who invests the time to experiment and understand, who unlocks advanced features. There’s no shortcuts to learning Linux than to use it and read about it and install it many many times.

Could I buy a windows 11 machine with a TPM 2 compatible motherboard and compiled my own web server that gave away valid WEI tokens such that other users could present them for fake legitimacy?

Does the token also contain a tracker that uniquely identifies my motherboard? (And therefore me, and by design of the protocol, serves to every one?)

If it’s based on the timing of replies it can be fixed in an iPhone update by simply waiting a few random seconds or minutes before firing a response.

There isn’t much backlash at all. You just live in a Lemmy and github echo chamber.

Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 to be enabled. With this, Microsoft and Chrome have built a complete end to end DRM to the BIOS and hardware level.

This gives the end users nothing but is wonderful for Hollywood.

The first consideration is always your internet speed. If you’re building a pc then you’re self hosting from house. In many countries the internet is ADSL meaning the upload is very slow but the download is fast. However for hosting you need fast upload. You’ll need a fibre connection to stream video from home.

I rent a server in the cloud to do self-hosting due to the subtle difference in my definition of hosting, being that I control the services and data they hold, not that they are literal hosted at home.

Beyond that consideration I’d say everything else is trial and error and you should experiment.

When I got into Linux I read every physical book I could. Physical books on a subject tend to be written to have chapters that cover whole material. When you try and learn from multipe ebooks you randomly found online you end up cherry picking bits and pieces and never actually read every chapter, so you miss fundamentals.

Maybe you would benefit by reading a PAPER copy of a book about Linux and the especially command line. Linux is a very command line oriented system so maybe trying to tackle some of the struggles head on will help you unlock apt any other tools.

Man 100%. If anyone wants to be a computer expert and is struggling, just stick with it and keep learning. You have to learn through experimentation and effort!

It’s just an attitude thing that some people’s egos are hurt when Linux confuses them.

People hate Linux because shows they aren’t computer experts, they’re just Windows power users.

This wasn’t my recollection. Git exploded the minute it was created, as a result of being created by Linus Torvalds. Before Git we had SVN and CVS, both insanely client-server products. Git is distributed.

As a developer I keep an email server, a blog and a few other bits on DO and over the last decade the prices have risen to over £60 a month. I don’t know if that’s currency conversion or what but it’s becoming difficult to justify.

You can replace a hard disk in a Linux computer without shutting it off or affecting any running programs by using LVM (Logical volume Management). There are some guides around for it but of course, it means being able to connect both disks to the machine at once.

Every iPod feature has been rolled into the iPhone. In fact with phones having direct access to streaming platforms like Spotify, phones have made iPods redundant. Nobody wants to sync with iTunes anymore.

E-readers however still have benefits over phones. The screen quality and the battery life.

Reduce effort. They say there’s duplication between hosting RHEL and Centos, so they’ll just do Centos. Since Redhat becomes Centos anyway it seems neither here nor there.
