Xtra PC - Got a YouTube ad for this product today

[https://www.xtra-pc.com/how-it-works-1](https://www.xtra-pc.com/how-it-works-1)

(if someone wants just the vid on the page)

So, the product is a USB with some custom distro installed on it, looks vaguely LXDE-ish. The selling points they claim are that: It works on almost any PC from 2004 and newer. It doesn't need a functional hard drive. It's faster than a bloated Windows XP/Vista/7 install.

It's a live USB, so yes, it will definitely will be able do that. I'v seen some live distros boot with surprising speeds even on USB 2.0. At the very least, it's gonna be more effective than using one of those "fix your PC" USBs people waste money on. I find it particularly curious because I'v not heard of any company trying to market such a specific product before. I could definitely see people who might be tired of their old computer wanting a quick fix purchasing something like this. I don't think they'd be unhappy either, if all they do is edit documents, play media and browse the web. They might not understand they can't use Windows programs without a bit of initial setup, as it's not mentioned in the ad. I'm actually not sure how I feel about this product, granted I don't have one to test.

As far as the price of the product goes, it's a little high if you think of it as just a USB stick (16G: $35, 32G: $60, 64G: $80). However, some people might not be able to make their own live USB and want something they can buy and just plug in. There's cheaper alternatives, but I guess a choice is a choice, and if it works and the user is happy, that's cool I guess. As far as I know charging a distribution fee for the medium it's on, even a decently high one like they are, is permissible under the GPL. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It could spread awareness of Linux to more people, given that I saw an ad for it on YouTube, I'm sure at least a few other people checked out the website like I did. This product has only been mentioned on here once in the past 2 years ago, and the thread is archived. I was messaging someone about this as I wrote the post, and they mentioned LinusTechTips did a video on it. I haven't watched it yet but link is here:

unable to get into bootloader

Hi there, we have an old ubuntu machine at work that we need something off, but obviously, 8 years on and we dont'know the password. We are trying to get into the bootloader so we can reset the password from recovery mode, but it is being bypassed perhaps with a noscript. Is there a way round this or is this computer now a doorstop?

Is there any legitimate use case for "rm -rf /"?

This is not a support request, so mods please don't delete this. I was just curious about this so I asked.

Is there any legitimate reason to use `rm -rf /`? If so under what condition would you want to do so?

The reason I ask is that `rm -rf /` will destroy your root file tree only if if you provide a `--no-preserve-root` argument. But if using it is so dangerous, why not disallow the command from deleting root altogether?

Photo editing on Linux

I have a laptop and I would like to use Linux full time on it, the only thing stopping me is that I can't get photoshop and lightroom. I've read that some editions do work on Linux however I would like to use the latest versions. Are there any alternatives to lightroom and photoshop that offer similer features (lens profiles etc) and also give the same level of detail when it comes to editing the raw files?
