    Try running two applications that require different versions of a package on linux. fun

    Like Linux might be the best for choosing when to update, but everytime I've HAD to update, it's more because of a new hellish problem that I need to resolve, where as Windows/Apple works as expected.

    Add to that the forced update on Windows are security updates. Linux doesn't force security updates which means if you're not keeping on top of it, your linux system has security issues that have hopefully been patched already, but you're not on the latest.

    Also same reason I'm ok with Android not allowing roll back, but I DO fucking mind that my 64 gig phone had 10 gigs of System space... and now has 22 gigs of system space because of updates/bloat.

    And that's also before I start talking about Python and assholes who don't use virtual enviroments, and requirement files... Sorry sorry, not technically linux specifically, but god damn that's a huge pet peeve.

    And people still use python2!!!!!!. Ok I'll stop now,. But holy shit that bothers me.

    Try running two applications that require different versions of a package on linux

    Either you use your distribution package system, or you don't. If you're using it, everything should work fine. Outside of that, it's actually really easy to manually cherry pick one or two dependencies for a specific application. Of course these days people have made off the shelves solution to address that, too.

    Linux doesn’t force security updates

    Well, Linux doesn't force anything. The userspace running on it, on the other hand… Well, it still doesn't force it on you. But on a fresh ubuntu install, unattended updates for security patch do run automatically by default.

    Python

    Python.

    “Windows works as expected”

    Except that my network drive is no longer accessible, forever. Oh and 2 of my printers.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I've a theory that no printer anywhere has ever properly worked, and people are just happy with 95 percent of a usable printer.

    It might not be that crazy.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I would kill for a 95% printer

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

    Lol me too. I was just thinking the expensive corporate printers I've used. Home printers have to be more sixty percent of the time on a good day.

    Check out nixos

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    Do you think nixos will be a good alternative to rocky/alma for servers?

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

    Well I’d say no, but why wouldn’t it work ? To me rocky is a no brainer. But for a home server to test I’d try nix
