I found a way to get rid of the system! Turns out the government is so stupid they named system34

I bet it's like the last one!

What's the windows folder delete command?

del? or rm?

not sure tbh..

it's not rm

I just tried to help my mom get the chrome app on her iPhone back to the home page. She tapped it once while it was on the hotbar at the bottom and then it just shat itself and removed the shortcut. It's still downloaded, you can search for it locally and open it, but i can't figure out how to get it back onto the home screen.

that much I remember

Smartphones are counter-intuitive

LOL WAIT

Keyboard and mouse are clearly easier

She just said she dragged Safari down to the hotbar and right when she dropped it there, Chrome magically popped back up in the spot it was before.

😂

They've touch screens are so complicated! Good thing they invented a new system called "buttons"

I so prefer buttons

Are we talking cmd or PS? Because PS has a lot more Linux styled commands

I use Ubuntu

so linux

I haven't used Windows for years

You can use rd in powershell

That's weird

powershell always seemed weird to me

What the world needs now

Power shell is "Microsoft is trying to have a good terminal"

Is love, sweet love.

It's not perfect but it's better than cmd

CMD is rooted in lagacy dos

And people are now making repos for Windows, which is neat

What do you mean, repos

Like open source software for windows or what

@Beemann

I'm gonna go play hoi4

do it

Basically yeah

There's always been oss for windows

There's now plugins for PS that let you use Linux style installations

Just use gimp

For a variety of FOSS and some non FOSS programs

I love foss software

it helps me loads when working and writing software of my own

So you could be extra lazy, and have a script that installs to powershell, and then a script that sets up your software, rather than manually install from a browser or keep a list of URLs

Or just use apt

Tbh if it wasn't for DX I'd be on Linux already

if you're on a debian based system

Right but this is for Windows

True

Except the installers, accepting agreements, etc

can't usually do that automatically

Iirc I didn't have to handle shit when using chocolatey

But I haven't used it in a while because it's more novelty than utility rn

it might be useful for businesses

or people who reinstall windows a lot

Eh, most enterprise level stuff would just use desired state configuration or imaging or something

True

I don't see why businesses still use windows anymore, other than legacy software support

Windows is honestly bad for businesses, due to its bad security

Easy to use, most enterprise software works with it, industry standard, your employees know how it works

Everyone at my work is excited about the upcoming switch from OSX to Windows

Microsoft also has decent office applications and will host your shit if you don't have the server capacity

>switch to OSX
Why even bother?

From OSX

Because OSX supports nothing

Oh sorry

Np

Yeah read that backwards

Also, using msoffice 360 is a bad idea for business info in my opinion

Yeah Windows 7 or 10 is a huge functionality upgrade over OSX lol. I've had to use both for work

since then you trust important stuff to ms

Everyone hates it at the office

Most smaller companies have worse security tbh

Man just like, browsing to a folder is a chore

Why would we need security?

That's why they should start out with something like Linux Mint, Ubuntu, or Fedora

Then they can get used to it

and do stuff better

Idk what other companies do, but all we do is stay on like 2 sites

Mostly where enterprise Linux comes in is like OpenSUSE and RHEL

Yeah

For devops and shit

RedHat and Fedora are used a lot too

RHEL= Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I've not seen Fedora used yet but I wouldn't necessarily doubt it

It just makes less sense for a large business given that it's less stable and doesn't come with support

I've got a CentOS machine at home that I tinker with

And my laptop runs Antergos

https://thehardtimes.net/music/ultimate-weezer-box-set-just-12-copies-blue-album

> less stable
I wouldn't stand by that statement

And linux support companies exist for a reason

Yes, that's why Red Hat exists separately from Fedora and CentOS

And Fedora is meant to be cutting edge, so it's going to have stability problems. That doesn't make it bad though. I use Antergos for similar reasons

It just means it has a different purpose than RHEL or CentOS, which is why all 3 exist

I just use Ubuntu because I don't really give a damn about special stuffs

I mostly just use it for the ubuntu universe repo

otherwise I'd use another flavor of debian

If I had another machine I would probably slap Debian on it

I love debian

It's great

I don't mind it yeah. Has better app compatibility than Arch or RHEL

Because of the popularity of Ubuntu/Mint

Yeah
