No issue for me regarding broken windows explorer. Directory opus user since my amiga days :-) Still forced to use Windows for work and well gaming. There are still some tools only developed for Windows, especially work related software coded for my employer were wine is not enough.

Bro, buddy, compadre, 99% don’t even know what an operating system is
Removing recall doesn’t break file explorer. Removing recall removes a dependency of File explorer for some reason. If you keep the dependency installed it works fine.
While true, this puts a lot of the assumptive burden on a lot of “normal/average humans” that don’t look beyond the desktop or browser to know more about How the OS works. That being said I agree with you and this should be higher.
Nobody thinks more about Windows than Linux users.
Mostly because Linux doesn’t get in my way and I don’t need to think about it.
Completely reasonably. Half of us are on here specifically to avoid Windows after all
You’re on Lemmy to avoid Windows? You guys can’t help but talk about it!

Recall is not mandatory after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBqIUkmVel8
Recall and the new file explorer share a dependency, except the file explorer doesn’t mark it as a dependency, so when Recall is removed, it is removed as well. Good job, Microsoft.
PR trainwreck is strong with this one
Fucking incredible.

Most of my stuff works on Linux now, so, yay. Currently only thing holding me back from doing a full switch is essentially video editing.
My current go-to video editor is Vegas Pro, and it just works like an extension of me, for me. I’ve tried few editors on linux (kdenlive, davinci) but they’re either very limited/odd/user-error-id10t or just doesn’t support video formats I need (davinci, free version doesn’t support h264 or hevc, and not feeling like shelling north of 300 USD for it). Next up on my testing plate is Shotcut, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Check out Blender. It’s primarily a 3D modeling software like Maya or Houdini, but it has an incredibly powerful video editor built into it.
I’ve used Shotcut on PopOS.
Worked pretty well for doing something about as complex as a editing together a typical youtube video.
Hell I even managed to get it to support h.265 after some tinkering. h264 and hevc worked as well.
Also, in a similar vein… Krita is basically Photoshop from about a decade ago in terms of functionality, less outdated UI and more functional than GiMP, though its a bit chonkier (memory / CPU intensive).
Krita isn’t a photoshop clone, it’s a drawing program.
Every single time I mention that Krita is basically an older version of photoshop, someone appears and says this.
I never said its a photoshop clone, as in it has parity with modern photoshop.
I said it can basically be used as one would have photoshop from a decade ago.
This is true, no matter whether or not it was ‘designed with drawing and digital media creation in mind.’
If you need something with more options and features than GiMP, or you don’t like GiMPs user interface… Krita works quite well.
I tried a few out and found that Flowblade worked best for me. If you’re only trimming and combining video though, you MUST check out Lossless Cut. It’s ridiculously fast.
thank you for the tip, will check it out.
Essentially what I need is 3+ audiotracks, compressors for each and master. Then annotate with images/text whatever video there is. And yes it’s gameplay videos mostly.
lossless cut not really a concern, but I’d like to have the end result rendered out fast, so nvenc (current hardware) or so would be grand.
But, will expirement!
Sadly Linux lacks central administration possibilities wich is why winass is business standard.
Doesn’t RH, SuSE, et al have it, though?
Years ago a friend of mine used to run a cyber cafe on Linux, with fully automated remote management. Have we regressed that much from there?
Im not aware of any Active directory type server system for Linux.
Another problem is the second and especially third level support. That is pretty rare for Linux, there aren’t many Linux ready Sysadmins.
- LDAP and / or Kerberos?
- That’s what Enterprise Distros are for (Redhat, SLES, Ubuntu)
- “Linux-ready sysadmins” is a hen-and-egg problem. If people keep maintaining a rotting Windows ecosystem, thus do not establish a market for linux sysadmins, less people will study in that direction.
Nevertheless, from my personal experience, corporate IT in non-software enterprises is full of clueless sys"admins" who just go by flowcharts and if that doesn’t help escalate to Microsoft support, and if they can’t help they close tickets as “use as-is”.
Hey, don’t attack me for it. I’m aware that the admin problem is a hen-and-egg problem but it doesn’t change the fact that the shit show works enough to justify not switching for basically everyone.
Problem with enterprise Linux is that they feel experimental to the people in charge.
(About the AD, yeah, I didn’t know about it to that degree, all the end user systems I manage are winass, even though I manage a number of Linux Servers for specific purposes)
Yeah many in house personal IT from businesses is… Semi capable, they are enough for first and partially second level support, I know some petty good ones but I’m working as a service provider for second and third level support and coordination of specified support (Microsoft, Telecommunications providers, ISP, security management etc.) and I made very similar experiences. But most they do all they is first level support anyway, at last in small and medium sized IT environments.
Linux supports active directory natively and can be joined to a windows hosted active directory domain. It supports centralized policy management as well and in addition there’s a completely open source implementation in: https://www.openldap.org/ supported by RedHat.
Hm, wasn’t aware of that, but that’s probably because I can’t work with Linux on that level, I knew Linux had some AD capabilities but I don’t know how far they go and how scalable they are.
The problematics with the admins is still there however.
Yeah. Microsoft has definitely cornered the market on corporate education for sysadmins.
Hey, don’t you know you need to become a Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert to do business properly?
I really think the cartel offices need to do something against Microsoft.
and normies don’t bother learn new OS : (
There isn’t much to learn most need to open work programs and thats it, its mostly a problem with management and convincing the managers of a company to part ways with winass.
Managers are also the worst with computers. And they are the most likely to get viruses.
Recently at work I set up Windows to open spreadsheets and word documents in Libreoffice Calc and Writer instead of Excel and Word. Nobody seems to have noticed yet.
Either that or they don’t know how to change back again.
lol
it doesn’t let me install linux as dual-boot. I really tried everything you can imagine, always windows boots up
Maybe they should try firing some more workers.
