Debian

We don’t use open-source around here pardner.

Proprietary 💩

I mean I already get paid for the work I do, I make $55K/year currently. Should I be asking for more?

We’re going to buy the enterprise support plans for Nextcloud and Proxmox. I understand that some specialized knowledge would be needed, but we’re making guides for it where anyone can do it (guides for flashing Coreboot, setting up Nextcloud, etc., this will be a guide for my boss for him to look back on). We will test this through slowly and try to see if this is something we can realistically do or not.

I’m a low level IT Support Specialist (it’s my first IT job), I honestly just recommended all these and my boss wants to go through with it, plus it’s something I love to do. In the coming weeks we will start to implement Coreboot w/ LinuxBoot and Proxmox onto most of our machines. I’ve messed with Coreboot a lot, not a dev, just good enough to build/customize and install it for them. I honestly want to see the world change, I mean hell yeah money is great too, but at the end of the day, all I want is for other companies/people to see that this way of doing computing is much better. Sure, you may have to get through the hurdles of learning it, but if you have someone to guide you it makes it so much easier. Now imagine if everyone used it, everyone could lend a helping hand.

Just wait until Windows 10 drops support, we’ll probably see a 2%-4% increase within a year. Who knows, maybe more. I was fine with Windows 10, but when I made the move to Windows 11, I said fuck no. It’s what made me switch to Linux as a daily operating system. I’d say with tools like ChatGPT, it will make it much easier for your average joe to switch over. Windows has reached peak enshittification. Do more, teach people, show people how much money they can save.

I already convinced the company I started working at to replace their outdated BIOS firmware with Coreboot. And soon, we’re going to start using Proxmox VE on all of our machines. We have about 40-50 computers, and we’re going to install it on every single one of them (edge virtualization) and manage it them all from a server. Once that’s done, we’ll have even a bigger incentive to switch to Linux. I’ll also soon setup Nextcloud with OnlyOffice, as a replacement for Microsoft Office. I hope to see us transition over fully.

They probably spend around $5000-$6000/more a year in licensing for software. Once we have all Free Software, I think it’ll truly be better for the long run. Sure, a couple issues with people getting used to it, but these are short term issues, down the line we can save so much money and have better security/privacy.

I’ll be in there around 3PM, please turn off the music next time.

Oh, I forgot! RELEASE THE DATASETS!!!

I want someone to release the source code to ChatGPT, Sora, and everything else.

Install Mr. Chromebox and Linux and you’re good to go

I’m pretty sure two gru_bob and gru_kevin have Libreboot support. I forget the name of the exact laptops, it should be in their documentation

Listening to Клетка while reading about this situation feels so cyber-esque.

Yes, I understand that, but I don’t need all the games and stuff installed by default. Sway is a whole different experience. I use i3 on my older laptop (Macbook A1181 w/ Libreboot) but I personally wouldn’t want to use it unless I needed to.

GNOME is a gorgeous desktop environment, I just hate the fact that I have to take a additional 5-10 minutes every install just removing all the stuff I don’t need. Is there a debloater script for GNOME that you know of?

Is there a way to download Debian with GNOME without all the bloat?
