prebuilt plug-and-play
Considering that building a pc isn’t more than plugging in all the parts, I’d say “building your own PC” very much is plug-and-play.
Not saying everyone can do it but “prebuilt plug-and-play” isn’t the wording I’d use.

- Comment on How to Run Custom Linux Images on Oracle Free Tier 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I tried just now and it diesn’t seem to be working (anymore?) could’ve sworn that worked.
You can still kexec the installiers directly, I followed the netboot.xyz scripts and got the links they use. Here’s Debian as an example:
From the scripts: deb.debian.org/debian/dists/…/netboot/ looking at the boot config debian-installer/amd64/grub/grub.cfg
submenu '... KDE Plasma desktop boot menu ...' { set gfxpayload=keep menuentry '... Install' { set background_color=black linux /debian-installer/amd64/linux desktop=kde vga=788 --- quiet initrd /debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
so we need to download those two files and take the netboot.xyz cmdline arguments then
$ kexec --command-line="desktop=kde vga=788 mirror/suite=Debian13.2 initrd=initrd.magic console=ttyS0,115200n8" --initrd=initrd.gz -l linux´ $ systemctl kexec
and it boots.
also here’s an example for the nixos netboot commands, more on that in the nixos manual:
$ kexec --load ${SCRIPT_DIR}/bzImage \ --initrd=${SCRIPT_DIR}/initrd.gz \ --command-line "init=/nix/store/n37nmcvbrblk9ahfzj9nxy01axs7zsf6-nixos-system-nixos-kexec-25.11pre-git/init nohibernate loglevel=4 lsm=landlock,yama,bpf" $ systemctl kexec
- Comment on How to Run Custom Linux Images on Oracle Free Tier 3 weeks ago:
Kexec can be used to load a new kernel and “reboot” quickly, it can also be used to load a new kernel, an initrd and never touch the disk. Such a system lives completely in ram and allows you to modify the disk in any way you want without breaking you running Linux (which is in ram)
Any distro that has a network boot installer that can be passed to kexec can be installed this way, any that don’t can still kexec any Linux distro and then install any other distro by passing the disk to a VM and installing linux through that.
You can also kexec the netboot.xyz image and get any distro supported there.

Can’t you just kexec and be on your way?

- Comment on What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for? 5 weeks ago:
i will simply want to scan projects that i personally use to be aware of its current state and future changes, before i blindly update apps i host.
If you’re just doing this for yourself then you still need to know the programming languages involved, what kind of vulnerabilities exist, how to validate them and quite a bit of how the projects operate.
The AI will output a lot of false positives and you will need to actually know if any of the “vulnerabilities” are valid or just hallucinations. Do you really want that extra workload?

The free extended updates are only for private consumers, companies don’t get them.
The consumer ESU program can’t be used by commercial devices.

Most companies should’ve already switched over so afaict there wasn’t enough push back.
I don’t see how employees giving a damn is relevant to what I said, can you rephrase that?

I’m not saying that you shouldn’t, I am saying that there’s more to discuss than “switched to Linux /thread”.
For example let me just quote microsoft “The vision that we have is: let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI, and build essentially what becomes truly the AI PC.” and think about what that means for your workplace. Windows isn’t going to vanish in a few years. The companies that have a lot of windows PCs will have to deal with increased hardware requirements in an already expensive market, have to wrangle user settings that the ai set on voice commands or fight against Microsoft to shut it all down.
I feel like there’s going to be a lot of wasted productivity in the coming years spend on fixing what ai broke.

Don’t they also push their new AI on customers? I don’t use MacOS so I’m a bit ootl on that.

I get wanting to tell people that you’ve switched from windows but these threads just feel too repetitive to be engaging, there’s no interesting discussion when everyone is just repeating the same points every month.
There’s also no discussion about the article or if there is then I couldn’t find it because of all the switched to Linux comments.
Oh well, back to other threads…

Companies have already updated, new notebooks come with windows 11, it’s sadly inevitable that most users will sooner or later be switched to windows 11.

These threads feel kinda redundant, all comments are just preaching to the choir.
Can anyone comment about anything besides “[…] switched to Linux […]”?
