Venezuela also has a LOT of gold. Not just oil rich.

Cruelty is the point. They are evil. All fascists are.

Thank you. I liked KDE when I played with Mandrake many years ago. Does that still exist? Maybe just dated the last time I tried to run Linux as my primary. I have “supported” Linux as needed throughout the years, but mostly through competent searches and general IT knowledge.

Easy?!? We’re talking about breaking 30 years of habits :). But thank you for your response. Remote/RDP because I travel as much as possible (digital nomad currently in the Caribbean) and want to connect home while I’m out. Why hypervisor? Work. I tend to spin up a clean VM for each client, and sometimes need to test things. And my media server has a hardware RAID, but needs to move off NTFS. Probably the first machine I move to Linux.

Thanks. I’ve had a lifetime subscription to Plex for more than 10 years and it works well on TVs and such for the few ppl I share it with (they’re all luddites). I also.may have mis-typed, I have a hardware RAID 5 off a ?Perc5 controller, but its NTFS and I would want to switch.

Thank you! Being an IT professional, I have many machines and will probably try more than one until I find my stride. I bought a new SSD for my media server so I can swap out (and go back if I run out of time) while I learn the new OS. I have two or three other machines that are ready for a change. My primary laptop may only get a Linux VM or two while I adapt.

And which flavor of Linux? I would assume I’d use Ubuntu, but I don’t know the pros and cons of any of them.

I want to switch, but I need some help. I need to be able to “RDP” into remote machines. I think that one is probably easy and built-in from decades ago. I also need to be able to setup a Hyper-V equivalent, to run other machines from my main laptop- haven’t figured that one out yet. And for my media server (Plex), I need to understand the best way to setup a RAID5 or better across multiple drives. Any recommendations on guides for a lifelong NT4 MCSE & current Azure admin? I am sick of Win11 (and 10, 8.1 was OK, 7 was better… they just keep getting worse)

Dear Canada, please either A) Cut off all trade with the US, or B) add a 100% export tax on potash and lumber, and hold those until there is a regime change. He didn’t honor NAFTA or his MCA trade agreements, and has already broken the most recent tariff agreement. You keep giving inches and he will keep taking miles. ELBOWS UP!!!
