So much bad advice on here. On Windows 11 Pro, just select “Domain join instead”.

Or just select local domain login.

I’d say the science is clear: humans don’t understand what makes them sick and they don’t understand why they get better. We value our own anectdotal evidence over actual research almost every time, and we keep making the wrong conclusions. I’d go so far as to say that you can’t be “on board” with both science and with your own conclusions based on anectdotal evidence. It’s one or the other.

Set up a domain with a main site that has links to your different services, then set up reverse proxies so you can put certificates on them and serve them all on port 443. If your WAN IP is relatively static then you can forward ports 80 and 443 to your server and use your own domain, if not you can use something like FreeDNS. Or skip the last bit if you don’t need WAN access.

I wish I could see the comments on this thread I made. Not sure what’s wrong with lemmy, it’s been like this since I started the thread two days ago. When I click the thread I just see my original post, no comments. Same result if I open the thread from the Selfhosted channel. If I view my own profile history and click the context button, the site just loads forever and never shows anything.

I could never get my bluetooth microphone to work under Linux, and I was having to input my password many times every day just to accomplish simple tasks. Couldn’t even make the password into a PIN, that wasn’t allowed for some reason.

Samsung phones let you restrict the battery percentage to 85 percent. I think Apple does the same now.

There’s lots of focus on performance from vendors like Apple, Samsung and others operating in the same space. Cat phones, however, are known for having crappy perfomance due to the cheap CPUs they use.

That’s true for white bread, not the other kinds. Whole-grain bread is both delicious and healthy. I remember visiting the UK for the first time and being amazed that all the natives were eating white bread for breakfast and lunch. Here in Northern Europe, white bread is more on par with a dessert item.

You may be right that bluetooth now works out of the box on Linux, but that certainly wasn’t the case a year or two ago. And I know for a fact that touchscreens are still hit and miss. I don’t know what improvements have been made to the Network Manager, but I suspect it’s still pretty bare-bones.

It’s possible that things have changed drastically very recently, but I suspect the Linux situation is still mostly the same as before: it’s great for web servers, but frustrating - bordering on unusable - for regular users.

Well, if your needs are very simple then I can certainly understand why you’d be happy with Linux. But regular users need for things like Bluetooth, touchscreens and VPNs to “just work”. I could spend three hours getting my bluetooth microphone to work on Linux or I can just use Windows. The decision is simple.

Is Debian so much better than Ubuntu or Mint? I tried both of those recently and had no end of troubles. Bluetooth was terrible, the Network Manager didn’t appear to support MFA or split tunnelling, etc.
