Maybe that bug report was the motivation for the collaboration! Or maybe the level 1 support aren’t aware of unannounced business decisions.

The point of making of open to everyone was so they’d have other traffic to hide their own secret communications amongst, right?

That thumbnail is a good one for !veryrealtechpics@lemmy.world

It’s not a repost if it’s in a different community

Just pick up a cheap, secondhand mainframe

Oh wow, I guess both of the HP-UX users will be gutted to read this!

How many IA-64 machines are still running at all? I never knew they even made that many in the first place!

1611Mbps, do you live inside AWS‽

That’s not discussed in the article though, I think they were just seeing a (not really that) phallic logo

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

I think you might need to see a doctor

Do you know what they didn’t like about Mint? If it’s just the DE (which I imagine covers most of the look and feel for a beginner) then there are three different defaults to try.

Neat! Other replies saying it doesn’t work on their machine, I’ll have to try it out in a few different environments.

Seems like it’s terminal-emulator-specific rather than a built-in shell feature

To use the last argument of the last ran command, use the Alt+. keys.

I think it used to be called “cloudready” until Google bought it and made it official. It seems like it’s aimed more at businesses and schools that want a fleet of Chromebooks, but it seems alright for the casual tinkerer too.

ChromeOS Flex is an interesting one; it’s definitely not as flexible as a proper Linux distro but if you need something simple and hard-to-break to run on an old machine (for instance for an elderly relative who’s still using Windows XP) then it could be worth a shot. That said, I’m now investigating whether Linux Mint is a better choice for my own elderly relatives!
