  • Yep. That’s what I’m saying, Linux isn’t ready.

    BTW, on my system /boot is ext4, /boot/efi is FAT32 and the rest mounted at /sysroot is BTRFS.

    Your installation is probably quite old. It used to be like that but now the default is mounting the ESP to /boot. The old way makes way more sense to me, btw.


  • The /boot partition is FAT32 due to RedHat’s stupidity but that’s neither here nor there. The point is that regular users don’t know how to boot into a previous version of the OS. Yes, I know you just have to select it on GRUB but a black screen with a list of kernels qualifies as broken for regular people.


  • Linux does do the black screen and hope you don’t touch it, at least OpenSUSE and Fedora do. And that’s a good thing. The “reboot to update is bad” meme needs to die but I digress. I’m skeptical that Linux is more resilient than Windows when it comes to updating but even if it is, Windows automatically rolls back failed updates while Linux will boot you into broken system and expect you to know what to do. Regular people can’t deal with this, even if the answer is a simple as selecting a different entry from the GRUB.

    I’m with you, I don’t believe it’s ready but the command line is not an issue anymore. I only ever see it because I’m an stubborn old man who insists on using Vim. Truth is, if something you do on Linux requires the command line, doing it on Windows probably requires group policy, regedit or something like that, which are equally esoteric.

    Oh, boy. Go on. Try that experiment. A regular person will encounter problems you could never imagine would be a problem in the first place. Say what you will about Windows but it at least has ~30 years of experience dealing with regular people. Switching my mom to Linux because “all she does is browse the internet anyway” is exactly how I became part of the “Linux isn’t ready” crowd.







  • It is a bug in chatgpt that is being used to attack companies that rely on openAI’s API. They point that out in the literal first paragraph of the article.

    In its latest research report, cybersecurity firm Veriti has spotted active exploitation of a vulnerability within “OpenAI’s ChatGPT infrastructure” but there is no evidence that OpenAI itself has been breached.

    I really don’t know what is your problem.
