But how are you going to integrate with active directory? Oh right you can’t, it just limits you to Ubuntu. And good luck finding a company with an IT department that knows how to set that up.

I’d love to use Linux for work, but my job pays me to endure pain.

Meanwhile I am using local models through home assistant. The fact I can run something equivalent to GPT 3.5 turbo on a $800 graphics card kind of negates any of the benefits of these dumb integrations that require NPUs. Maybe Microsoft should bring back basic quality of life improvements that were in Windows 10 in Windows 11 instead of desperately waving their arms around trying to be relevant to consumers. Dumbasses.

Yeah, there’s maintenance and security patching, otherwise distros wouldn’t be packaging it…

Many of the people that maintain X are the same people working on Wayland implementations. They’re pushing people towards the new thing because it makes their lives easier, and that’s also the nature of engineer driven product development, it’s not going to consider all the edge cases underserved from replacing legacy software because there’s nobody to keep them in check.

Edit: Guess the thought police decided my factual information isn’t welcome here because it goes against their feefees.

Like all things with open source contribution, it’s limited to things being produced based on what freelancers are interested in. This is a double edged sword, when you use a distribution you are using the end result of what its community interest is.

It’s why there’s fragmentation and lots of issues with any form of standardization of a UI language that can appeal to the average person because it’s a mine field of complexity.

What?
