I think, I will borrow the idea, but I likely will use more a log-style date format in the persistent history file like this: [2026-01-09 12:34:56] command

I had it when I was still using Gentoo.

Maybe it can help getting software to work that would otherwise only work with older Windows version, eg: software for scientific equipment.

I should generally make more use of things lile podman and systemd-nspawn. Thx!

I guess running Bedrock Linux inside podman wouldn’t work, I guess. Not sure how well nesting works with containers.

Oh, that underlines my impression of Python being used more widely for Gnome programs.

I have seen at least one person moving from Gentoo to Exherbo. Would I leave Debian behind for it? No, not currently, but maybe there is time for an experiment in the future.

I’ve tried Sabayon briefly, but not seriously. At the time, it was interesting to have more pre-built binaries. Looking back now, the Gentoo binrepos are the better solution, I think.

Sadly xrdp comes to mind. The builtin-in rdp server of Gnome is not on par yet and behaves differently.

Xrdp server prompts for the login of an existing user while Gnome new implementation has a kind of additional user/password which all users need to know. I did not find an option to disable it.

What is neat about the new implementation is, that you can login to a running sessiom remotely without being logged out at the local machine. This feels more like desktop sharing. Awesome, and in this case, having a seperate user/password makes sense.

The only thing I have found, is, that Microsoft now have a multi-installer themselves, but it can only install a limited selection from their own store.

I hope, Ninite did not become “sketchy”.

How much can one trust this Ninite thing? Sounds like the thing I want for work for easier Windows client management.

We know, who is clicking at MX Linux? And the other distros that are currently at the top?

My top distros:

1. Debian
2. Fedora
3. Gentoo

I like to add: switch to a job where you will meet new people on a regular basis. (:

How well does waydroid run on PostmarketOS?

neat

The Gentoo user who does not encrypt their boot drive

I game on Debian; it is absolutely up to the task.

It is called the universal operating system for a reason.

Thx, I decided to not use raid for shipping.

this is scientific data.

Funfact, I recently did a scrub on my offline backup drive of my work PC. It correct around 250 errors. I wouldn’t have noticed any problems if I had used ext4 instead of btrfs.

I agree with both of you. Somehow I don’t worry about the drive in my laptop but 80 TB of scientific data is another thing, and I want to make sure it is the same data when it arrives.

That sounds scary and like I need at least btrfs if I need to ship the data instead of using rsync.

Yes, using rsync between the two servers would be the best option. I guess, despite I already have the drives. On my end I could provide the access and arrange proper security with VPN, but at the target there are still too many question marks and I cannot currently count on some basic Linux knowledge there.

For a previous transfer of much less data I had to write a PS script that handled the transfer. It was very slow.

So, I am actually dealing with another problem: Can I get enough information from the non-tech persons to provide the best and easiest solution for them.

Thx so far all the ideas from all of you.
