@herhandsmyhands well, you can thank the #GAFAMs and their #Enshittification for that!
Also you can install almost all #Linux distros on external drives and just boot from those...
@DeltaWye @kfh @torproject So please do yourself a favour and ditch #Windows for a portable #Linux you can boot externally, like @tails_live / @tails / #Tails or even #UbuntuLTS...
@tauon @itzzen @kolonthree neither mine, and I tried hard…
I just migrate people to #UbuntuLTS and that just works...b
@knoppix95 this is nothing new.
#Lenovo almost always offered around €125 discount for "no operating system" and €100 for #UbuntuLTS over #Windows - if they offer any of those options at all…
What is a problem is that Lenovo doesn't actually #Support even "#Ubuntu #certified" devices like the #P15v and it's #Intel #XMM7360-based #WWAN chip, the #Fibocom #850GL, at all, and they refuse to provide #drivers for it!
@P1Madsen @avatter probier' mal @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS und dann willste nie mehr #Windows10 oder gar #Windows11 samt #Bloatware & #Enshittification nutzen!
I have an old #OfficeJet and that thing scans without fuss using #gscan2pdf on #UbuntuLTS...
@kobilacroix that's why I recommend #UbuntuLTS...
Anyone else having issues with #PyCharm randomly "forgetting" / bricking #logins on #UbuntuLTS Desktop?
The only workaround is to literally delete the configs and manually reenter the credentials, only for those to get fucked up with an update or at random.
@galaxydinodragon there's a reason the french #GendarmerieNationale spuns tueir own #UbuntuLTS derivative...

@topher the problem is the #Enshittifiaction and #Enfattening of #Websites and #Applications!
Seriously, I think that #Microsoft should be sued into insolvency for the way they create 100% avoidable #eWaste with #CensorBoot and #Windows11 to the point that if I didn't have my current job, I'd basically collect all the old machines from companies that are stupid enough to use #Windows [and they'll likely give them away for free minus SSDs / HDDs instead of paying €5+ for #recycling], shove some #Linux on [i.e. #RaspberryPiOS, #BunsenLabsLinux or #UbuntuLTS] and sell those off as used electronics for a good profit.
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
"Main/Restricted packages receive security updates from Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-infra' enabled until 2030."

@DigA_UniLeipzig @stbc @caos @uni_wuppertal also ich hab' seinerzeit (2013-2017) nur #UbuntuLTS auf Desktops und Servern dort gesehen, mit wenigen Ausnahmen wie #OpebSUSUE in einigen Laboren.
Würde mich wundern wenn die das umgestellt hätten!

@DigA_UniLeipzig also die Bergische #Universität #Wuppertal hat grubdsätzlich #UbuntuLTS ausgerollt...
@ml @fedora @gnome consider giving @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS a shot?
Letzte Woche der alten Firmenhardware in Form eines Toshiba Satellite Pro Notebook neues Leben mit Ubuntu 24.04 LTS eingehaucht.
#linux #UbuntuLTS @ubuntu ❤️
P.S.: ist dann doch kein Mint geworden, @jamrt 🤷♂️
@topher #Antivirus is for the most part #Scareware aimed at scamming #TechIlliterates which at best only works against kniwn threats and at worst is literal #Malware in and of itself selling user data to bad actors.
As for the rest one can just scan #Fileservers regularly and do so on #Mailservers, but existing tools to enforce quick and early updates on those distros already do most of the heavy lifting re: #ITsec...
