Porn Giant Calls For Device-Based Digital ID

Open ecosystems would feel the pressure. Independent browsers, community
distributions of Linux, and other user-driven projects could be pushed toward
government-linked identity requirements simply to maintain compatibility.

Does anyone use After Effects in a virtual machine?

I have Windows on another SSD just for After Effects. And restarting your PC to do specific things is terrible for your workflow. (I use Blender and Davinci Resolve for practically everything, but some projects require AE, due to the client's workflow).

Does anyone use After Effects in a virtual machine? Does it lose a lot of performance? How do they do it?

Ubuntu: The Distro I Love to Hate (But Can’t Quit)

Hey guys.

Warning: This is a whining post!

I’ve been using Linux for about a decade now, and my journey started out of sheer frustration with Windows 8.1. The tile interface and general UX drove me nuts, so I made the switch to the distro I knew the best at the time: Ubuntu.

Fast forward to today, I use Windows on my work machine (because corporate) and Ubuntu on my personal ThinkPad + Lenovo dock setup with two external displays. Here’s the thing: Ubuntu just works. Synaptics DisplayLink drivers? Only officially supported for Ubuntu. Plug&play with my dock and monitors? Ubuntu. Minimal fuss? Ubuntu.

I’ve tried to break free: Pop!OS, Mint, Fedora but nothing matches Ubuntu’s out-of-the-box smoothness for my hardware. I know Ubuntu isn’t the "cool kid" in the Linux world anymore, and I’d love to switch to something more community-driven like Debian or Fedora. But every time I try, I hit a wall with driver support, dock compatibility, or just general polish.

Am I alone in this? Who else is stuck in the "Ubuntu works, but I wish I didn’t need it" limbo? What distros have you tried, and what finally made you switch (or stick)?

My next step to cheer me up: Try Omakub

Thanks for listening

Found an old article about Bill Gates regarding Linux

Happened to randomly find this article dated 1999 about Bill Gates saying: "that Windows offers far more functionality and features than Linux ever will."

"We put things into our system like systems management that's not that much fun for university developers," Gates said. "Linux doesn't have that stuff. It doesn't have the graphics interface. It doesn't have the rich set of device drivers. So certainly we think of it as a competitor in the student and hobbyist market. But I really don't think in the commercial market, we'll see it [compete with Windows\] in any significant way."

Funny how things change in 20 years huh?
