  1. Re: Growing disillusionment with Linux on the Desktop

    Other than ChromeOS, are there any HTML-based desktops?

  2. Re: Growing disillusionment with Linux on the Desktop

    I think the value of great design cannot be overstated enough, and it's something that terminal-jockeys (myself included) do not appreciate by a long shot, to the detriment of us all.

    I was incredibly pessimistic & still don't like a lot of what they've done, but I'm slowly coming around & somewhat appreciating them taking the kold step & breaking with a 20(?)-yo...
  4. Growing disillusionment with Linux on the Desktop

    I've been an avid (GNU/)Linux user for close to (more than?) a decade & have heartily been drinking the CoolAid.

  5. Re: Windows clients randomly disconnected from Samba shares

    Thanks for that. I actually did run the config through `testparam -v` to validate it & got the following result, indicating that it all seems copacetic, but I'll incorporate your above guidance,...
  6. Re: Windows clients randomly disconnected from Samba shares

    I think I did have this in my original config, but omitted it for some reason - quite possibly due to bringing my config in line with the Samba wiki guide.

    Will update, but doubt it'll make a huge...

  9. Re: Windows clients randomly disconnected from Samba shares

    I've dug around a little more, and found a suggestion to update the smb.conf to not use the deprecated "security= share" to "security = user" & "map to guest = Bad User".

    Issue persists.

    Re: What can Windows do that Linux can't?

    <ctrl><shift><esc> - a decent/good task manager. sorry, but linux equivalents just don't cut it.
    windows explorer as a file manager is actually superb - nautilus is a somewhat pale comparison.
  12. Uniform/universal config tool for Logitech devices

    I've got a *boat-load* of Logitech devices I've been using for years - love them, since they generally "just work" right off the bat with any OS.
