Technology Linux

Meanwhile...the US Gov't AND overwhelming majority of the Military have sold their SOULS to microsoft. It's pretty fukking sad.

Windows is still standing strong with over 75% of the world using that as the OS. Its great for desktop but nothing wrong with a change.

Mike I will let you know that Military Intelligence in the UK use only ONLY Apple computers, laptops and other technology because its so secure.

They should use Apple like the British intelligence service.

Parrot OS is excellent Linux system The best choice for security experts, developers and crypto-addicted people.

You want a fast, stable, virtually virus proof computer that never needs defraging? Oh yeah......it's free now and forever. Shit can windows and tell Apple to bite you. Install Linux on your PC. I have replaced windows on all computers in the house with linux and never looked back. There are tens of thousands of free programs from Gimp (photoshop) to video editing. All of the animation studios (Avatar, shrek) use it. You can customize your install and squeeze more speed and extend the life of old PCs. Saving you hundreds of dollars.

I love Linux. And in a way I do not like Windows since the operating system isn't optimized any good. Every time I install Linux (I use Ubuntu) on one of my computers it runs faster and smoother then ever before. Maybe the computer are even faster, from when the computer was new, I believe so.

The only thing that's a problem for me is OneDrive (Microsoft solution to backup files), where all my files resides. But maybe there is time to find another solution for this? I also use some specific software's that have no support in Linux. There are solution for getting around this, but they are not 100% stable I think.

NVIDIA graphic drivers can also be a problem with Linux. But I believe it's way better now since Nvidia have started to collaborate with Linus Torvald (creator of Linux).

Also I use Word, Excel, PowerPoint...I know there are good softwares in Linux (other developers are making) but when your work environment have only Windows solutions, you are dependent of Microsoft.

Back in the day I had a dual boot solution on my laptop, so I could choose which operating system to boot in at every upstart of the computer.

I think I need to revisit this solution. I love Linux. Microsoft are holding Linux back with their licensing of software. I will remove my DVD drive and put a SSD (Solid State Drive) in there with Linux Ubuntu. My laptop is ~ 11 years old. 😂

I trashed my Dell stationary PC (It was a Dell Precision can't remember model number).
I regret this now, since it would have been so much easily for me to edit videos, with that old beast. You are stupid sometimes.

Do you know the difference between Ubuntu Linux and Parrot OS?

I did some research I believe you are correct. Maybe Parrot OS (Debian-based Linux distribution) will be better for me. We will see.

What do you think of the new Linux phones?

I have not tried them, just Android phones but they are based on Linux. Android phone is awesome. But you need to pick the correct one. I don't like expensive phones.

I have a OnePlus Nord CE 5G (EB2103) you get a lot more for your money, and you don't need to be bothered with bloatware (apps you don't use, and can't remove, like on Samsung phones). It's a budget phone but it have good hardware and software. They have more expensive models as well. But why would you need that?

No crashes and regular updates of the system from time to time from OnePlus. It got a good camera from Sony.

They also even have more affordable models like the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G.
On the EB2103 there is fast-charging so the phone charges up from 1% to 100% in like 30 minutes. Easy to extract files from the phone as well, you just plug in the usb cable and copy.

I really like this brand, so I will stick with them. I had Xiaomi phone previously they where good as well, but I got scared from that brand due to overheating issues.

I like Android since I have full control of my files. Tried to help my brother to transfer files from his iPhone (new model) one time...that was a nightmare to do. The only thing I could get out of his iPhone was his photos.
