  • I just used an old computer, filled it with hard drives, and ran Samba. The config file has to be edited once and its a little cryptic but its a low maitenance thing.

    With samba im able to access it on all my linux machines and my husband can use his windows laptop to watch movies from it.

    I wrote a few scripts that are really just fancy aliases to quickly change directory to the files from my main computer using ssh.

    My main computer has no gui and im using a terminal right now to read lemmy. _

    I use ubuntu on it so it has a gui if i need one.

    I know it can be hard to have your ideas quedtioned, but at least try to be civil. I never questioned your intentions, yet youre acting like im crazy. A walled garden is obviously more secure than an open source project because nobody can even see the code to find vulnerabilities in it. There is a reason why Android is moving further and further away from open sores code.

    What industry are you working in?! AWS is nearly all Linux. Google Cloud is nearly all Linux. Android is Linux. Hell, even Microsoft finally relented and is now strongly supporting their Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) because it’s necessary for supporting modern cloud applications.

    I understand that you like horses. You ride one every day, and you might have evwn named your horse. The fact is that its time to buy a car. Notice i said buy. Quality software costs money, and always will. Its time to move into the future with the rest of us.

    the terminal is simple

    Yes i agree. Throwing rocks is also simpler than firing a gun, yet modern militaries arent training slingers anymore. Ive developed games using Windows exclusivley (for a lot of money i asure you) and ive never once had to use a terminal ever. I literally just have to email my source code to my boss, and he compiles it. I have no need to know how, because its not my problem. Theres no need to use a terminal when i have Visual Studio and Outlook. If you want to be a cool hackerman you can, but id rather use something thats intuitive and works.

    I think anyone who uses Linux is stuck in the past. Communism doesnt work either, bucko.

    Yeah i agree. The best example of this is Linux. To anyone who disagrees, why does a modern operating system require you to use a terminal, or edit config files instead of changing settings in a gui?

    Its THE example of ancient software being pushed on to niave techies that would rather have an insecure open source project than a safe, walled garden like Microsoft Windows 11.

    Although Windows 11 does have its problems. The chief of which is bogging down the streamlined simplicity with things a normal user wont need like a package manager.
