Also, If you want a persistent command line access over SSH, try the screen command. Screen allows you to have a detached VTY interface. Once you start your SSH session, just run the screen command and you are in the virtual terminal. Run whatever commands you want to run and leave running (in my case Minecraft servers). Do a Ctrl-a + d to detach from the session. And finallay do a "screen -r" command to reattach. You can run multiple screen sessions that you can name and reattach to them by name later on.

Comment I would more like to see a Time Limit for ads (Score 1) 92

I would like to see a time limit to the ads shown.
Movies: Advertise all you like, but keep it under 15 minutes.
TV: 6 minutes per half hour. (Why most TV shows where 24 minutes long in the before time.)
Streaming: Same as TV, but fractional based on the 24 minute / episode of the before internet TV shows.

I run Linux at home and Windows at work. I have gone into the command line of each at about the same rate... and mostly for the same reason. (Ping, traceroute, and DNS queries.) I mean, the GUI tools have gotten really good over the last 5 years.

If you haven't tried Linux in a while, go grab Virtualbox and a copy of Linux Mint and try it out for yourself. A lot has changed. You may be presently surprised.

No one who hates computers is switching to Linux.

I have the feeling that Linux powered, but not Linux branded, systems will be heavily used. Android and Chromebooks for example.

As far as BSD powered systems... ever heard of Apple?

Either way, all that will be needed is either a installable client or a web browser soft client. Take VMware Horizon for example. It can be used as an installed client or a web browser. There are clients for Windows, Mac, iOS, Linux, Chrome and Android and it works for practically everything. Even virtual engineering systems.

Comment All that they would need to do is enable 2-factor (Score 1) 117

If they really wanted to crack down on this (and secure the accounts from being stolen), all they would need to do is enable two factor authentication. Just have it set up that you need to re-authenticate every month or have to re-authenticate if your IP address changes.

There are many options out there. SMS, Email, Google Authenticator, Okta, or many others. They can be simple to complex. But, I would personally choose the SMS or email methods. SMS for ease and email due to needing an email address for account creation in the first place.

Lets just say, that when it comes to the machines that make the stuff that you or I use, a "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." mentality is very much alive and well...

SteamOS? Or some similar Immutable Linux distro using Flatpack like Silverblue...

Hey! Stop laughing. I know, I know. Yet another "Year of the Linux desktop" post. But, hear me out.

Proton / Corossover / Wine has come a long way. With Valve pouring so many resources into the Steam Deck, and the underlying Proton, they may have finally solved the chicken and the egg problem with Linux adoption. Especially for gaming. The one major problem that Linux had to widespread adoption for so many people. Having to switch back to Windows to game made the switch so unpalatable to many... including me.

Now with SteamOS as an option, I am seriously investigating the switch to Linux. And I hope I can be there before 2025 comes knocking at my door.
