I donn't believe this is true. Microsoft is known for trotting out garbage that nobody wants. Sometimes they back off. Sometimes they beat us down until we fall in line.
I suspect an assortment of realities that include individual partnerships on the boards, bribes, kickbacks, and more blitz style manipulation to "ensure" LG that people want this, and of course there is also the realization that they will make bank before people realize they're getting bamboozled.
Apparently performs as router and firewall distro. I have no idea what possessed me to install that at the time over 10 years ago. But in any case, bad on me for blindly trusting an unknown source and bad on them for a dick shit design.
But I know one thing is for sure, that name is pretty accurate. A lot of my own "IP" was torched.
Good explanation. I'd say that's still a lot of processing for our noggins to quickly adapt to a framework of mind to comprehend all that to make sense of it.
I still like the name and it does make since after it's all spelled out.
I don't know if i3 is the best tiling manager but it's the one I use and I like it. The reason I like using the tiling manager with tmux is that I never have to use the mouse. I have a different environment in different each window.
super+1 is main tmux development area.
super+2 might be remote server tmux area.
super+3 might be development browser views
super+4 might be my Qutebrowser with documentation texts.
super+5 is note taking apps.
super+6 libreWolf for regular browsing, etc.
And I can have multiple things going on in each window but all I have to do is press super+f to make a tmux session (or whatever app) full screen. For instance in super+1, I might have one tmux, session for local development and one for the incus server I'll working in.
In tmux I have over 10 different sessions going on. So I can quickly go to any number of apps I'm working on or to my utils session where I do most of my cpu checks. One session is just for browsers I keep open so I can keep track of them easily and/or kill them quickly with Ctrl+c. This has the added benefit of always keeping my tabs saved when I open them back up.
In my tmux app sessions lies nvim which is a great ide. I keep one tab window open for git doings. One for backend nvin instance. And one for frontend nvim instance. Then one open for the server and other terminal related stuff. Another for database.
Usually use Debian for server administration but have recently been using fedora and rocky Linux and other rpm based distros for their easier use of podman configurations (quadlets). I don't really recommend using fedora as a server (unless it's in an incus container) but I got into it as CentOS was deprecating and the podman systemd setup was catching on at the time and fedora was handling it the best at the time.
Dropped out of GitHub for the most part and getting acclimated with codeberg and forgejo.
Use librewolf for browsing and firefox-developer-edition with many profiles for testing and development. Qutebrowser for reading documentation.
There were a lot of tax write offs through incentives which was a good thing because it actually encouraged rich people and businesses to be proactively productive towards the public good.
So done right, they paid nowhere near the 80%. Of course there was abuse and loopholes.
And off topic and contrary to popular thought, Jimmy Carter was the one who started deregulation in this area. He was trying to get the economy moving again and was taking a "reasonable" approach. Reagan took Carter's idea and went on a heist with it to enrich buddies and doners
I know this won't end well.
