For those wishing they could do that with zip and 7zip, you can add a permissions file to the archive that you first make with getfacl, and then on the target after extracting said archive, restore permissions and ownership with setfacl from that file.

Handy for certain support organizations that insist on a zip but that later want the permissions. (Looking at you SAP and IBM).

<whispering> Me too…

Mistaking precisely documented Wiki for silence… Do you Mark All As Read your email each day, too? ;)

Aww man, why’d they have to ruin it with making it immutable? ugh!

Old i5 Lenovo laptops.

Please god, no.

It needs to shed the gamers and get more useful users.

It’s already in datacentres all over the world. It’s the primary server platform. Linux doesn’t need to succeed more broadly, it already has. If you’re talking about Windows users and gamers… we are way better off without those simple people.

No, we shouldn’t be encouraging people to use tools they don’t bother to understand how to use.

Using the command line to replace it with KDE Plasma.

When you say proprietary drivers, I assume that means they are only available for x86_64 platform… leaving ARM64/aarch64 devices, like Pi’s and such, out of luck?

Something I’ve experienced with similar printer drivers. Hence the ask.

Not here, it’s not.

This isn’t a Linux post.

Because, WSL is not a proper way to use / run Linux.

A very unwelcome surprise, too.

Reminds me of the old Gem desktop for DOS.

BTRFS for raid mirroring is fine, but any raid 5 you should steer away from.

I use is on VM’s and laptops all the time, wrapped with LUKS. I also like it for a home server, where I combine bcache (not bcachefs) with it, so I can have a 512g nvme cache in combination with two 16 TB spinning disks. Run tons of containers on it and it’s rock solid. The cache really helps the performance. It’s a file server, few web sites, a gitlab, a ghost host, nextcloud, media server, backup server, vm host, and more. And it’s chugged along great for 3 years.

My mouth.

Because Linux has been awesome since at least Slackware 1.0.
