  • I feel like I’m insane for having to constantly reassure people on this fact, but…

    LINUX IS THE MOST DEPLOYED OS ON THIS PLANET

    Desktops are just software on top of Linux. The OS itself is superfluous. It’s in your TV, router, car, toothbrush…etc.

    Who uses what for desktop matters very little except to the people making the desktop experience. The only thing on the horizon that is going to make a huge dent in the numbers you see reported on Steam, are Valve’s new hardware.

    Meanwhile, many EU government operations are switching to Linux as fast as they can move their little fingers, but you won’t see that reflected on the stats you’re paying attention to.




  • Go back 20 years. See how many times this prediction has been made 🤣🤣

    The only shift now is Microsoft shitting the bed so hard that people don’t want to deal with them. The difference this time is the MacBook Neo.

    People would gladly pay Apple $600 for a working machine WITH support and stores everywhere to get help if they have hardware issues. It’s the new iPhone business model. They’ll be taking more desktop market share than people even imagine on the price point alone.


  • If you’re getting file verification errors, it probably means there are issues with files on one end of the other.

    So a few things:

    1. What’s this remote machine, and have you checked the filesystem recently?
    2. Have you checked the filesystem on your local machines you’re copying files from?
    3. Have you tried copying to an empty remote.traget directory and seeing if you still get these errors?
    4. If 1 & 2 are fine, and then 3 works without problems, make a short list of some of the files that are throwing errors. Do they happen every single time at these same files? What’s unique about these files?
