Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.

VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.

RISC-V is not proprietary enough.

So if I’m developing a garage door opener using ESP32 RISC-V module, I’m not a RISC-V developer? The dev tools and the cross-compiler only come in x86_64 variant, they simply won’t work on RISC-V laptop. But at least they provide a Linux installer.

The only use case I can think of is to build Debian packages on a target architecture without cross-compilation, because many packages do not support cross-compilation, but it’s more an issue of poor build scripts.

Targeting developers is, I dunno, misses the audience. It would have been a great netbook, or a Raspberry Pi replacement.

If I develop something for Risc-V arch, it is probably some embedded thing with 100 MHz CPU and 2 Mb RAM, and I am cross-compiling it anyway on my more powerful PC.

I’ve had problems with KDE on Wayland on Debian 12, it fails when entering sleep mode with multiple monitors. Thankfully, KDE on X is just one package install away, and it works with no bugs.

Because military engineers overengineer these things from the most expensive materials available, and they also perform frequent maintenance on them, which is also expensive.

Intel UHD graphics.

I’ve switched to X11 last week, because kwin_wayland crashes each time my monitor enters low-power mode.

Wooo yeah! Now waiting for the explanation how half of mobile phones on the planet and every smart TV in existence runs some variant of Linux kernel.

Just grab yourself some Linux Mint, and try to ignore Arch and Gentoo crowd here.

Half of the apps you mentioned have Linux version right in the system package manager. Davinci has Linux version on their website.

CorelDraw might be a problem, WineHQ lists it’s compatibility for the latest version as garbage, so you will probably need to switch to Inkscape.

Anyway, I heard about this new company called Linux

Pedantic explanation about GNU/Linux is coming in 3… 2… 1…

That’s exactly the difference. The business needs to sell shit, so your management needs you to get the shit done, just good enough quality to sell it, because otherwise you’re burning them money in salary.

Take any of your hobby projects, and ask yourself - ‘How do I sell this thing?’. You’ll arrive at all the same problems you are seeing in your company. Good managers will explain this and let developers make their own decisions and take part in business processes, bad managers will just dictate which buttons you need to press on your keyboard.

Lines of code is a really ancient metric for managers who are totally ignorant of technology, I was just putting it here for emphasis.

I believe the author got the wrong job position. If your job title is something like ‘software developer’, yeah you are measured by the amount of lines of code. You should aim for a senior role such as ‘system architect’ or ‘technical lead’, then you have some kind of guidelines from the sales side of business, and your job is to turn them into requirements and produce the final product, and you choose the tech stack and other details that are inconsequential for sales bug will get the programmers flinging keyboards.

Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc.

Yup, that’s how it’s supposed to be. You turn on your PC to get your office work done, not to reinstall display drivers each day.

Gone are the days when you needed to compile your own modem drivers to access Internet from your Linux PC.

The Linux experts here are using their technical knowledge to perform advanced tasks like setting up server clusters for AI-generated furry porn, they are definitely not the ‘average’ Linux user.

That’s why cowboy hats have folded brims.

Yeah, it’s called AMD DASH, but it’s available only on select CPUs, unlike Intel’s variant.

Good bot

edit: I just found this, which seems to be exactly what I need: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/en/man7/amt-howto.7.html

Ah yes, Intel’s famous security hole.

Some people stopped buying Intel CPUs after this feature was introduced.

Are there any new phones or tablets using Tegra SoC? It seems like they are only used in car electronics

Because OpenVPN lacks the most important feature of them all - it will not remind you to top up your account balance.

I went with OpenVPN because it’s installed on Ubuntu by default. Wireguard needs one extra apt-get command.

I don’t think that Wireguard is more secure, its’s simpler and thus easier to audit, but OpenVPN was audited to the gills already.
