allywilson,

should be poofed out of existence

This means something very specific in the UK.

allywilson,

I’m always hopeful, but there was another state/city in Germany (Munich I think?) that tried to do this a long time ago, then after 10 years of not being able to move entirely over, they moved back to MS, then I think they tried again. Really flip-flopped a lot. I think stuff like this needs to be more organic in its movement rather than big bangs and milestones. Just let it creep in and take over.

allywilson,

First UNIX was QNX, random free CD on a magazine.

First Linux was Mandrake 7.0, then moved to RedHat, then distro hopped for about…20-25 years so far I guess :-p

allywilson,

I feel selinux should be able to do something clever here, like it can manage/block port access.

allywilson,

What’s the advantage of this vs running it in a container? github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX

allywilson,

You dropped this ’

allywilson,

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

allywilson,

I wonder, what characters are allowed? $0 would be interesting, or even the fork-bomb classic.

allywilson,

Without sounding rude, are you sure it’s at the login screen and not the unlock screen?

allywilson,

OK, thanks.

I guess it’s worth confirming if it’s been a logout or a reboot as well. If you open a terminal and type “uptime” does the time match when you booted up or after you left it alone for a while?

Check the output of: dmesg -Tand have a look through: /var/log/messages

I would be focussing on errors, warnings and/or terms like “reboot, shutdown, logout, timeout, idle, etc.” to try to narrow it down what is happening and when.

allywilson,

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

allywilson,

“first time player”

He is not, he’s just young.

allywilson,

Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).

allywilson,

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.

allywilson,

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

allywilson,

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

allywilson,

raises pendantic finger Ah-hem, sorry, but KDE Plasma isn’t an OS. It’s a desktop environment. For an OS bundled/built-around Plasma then Kubuntu or KDE Neon are both Linux distributions that would better fit that description.

allywilson,

This is kinda how I feel about Windows these days. It’s interface, directory structure, shudder the registry, user specific apps (from MS Store or Winget), buttons being inserted into the menu bars on some apps, but not others, button sizes being different sizes, some parts still using the Metro interface. The whole thing either needs a re-write, or should be dropped and something new to replace it. Don’t even get me started on things like the eventvwr hanging for 20 seconds after it opens, event tracer API, their in-house abandonment of powershell modules once powershell was open sourced, Windows containers being a disaster, etc.

allywilson,

The wifi worked fine for me on Fedora Asahi, macbook air m2.
