The only option I can think of would be to use a vm. Unless all your apps support restoring sessions, I don’t think there’s any mechanism to do so globally. Getting stuff to start automatically or as a group using a script is easy enough, but that’s less than half your problem as you’ve described it.
Debian netinst. The network installable iso is much smaller than the full image as you only download stuff you actually want to install. Ubuntu used to have a mini.iso but sadly they got rid of it AFAIK.
If that account only ever logged in there, maybe? I’d think they’d be smart enough to look at the most commonly used IP address by the account(s) in question. Then again, it is reddit.
That’s why I asked. There’s tons of hardware out there that’s works fine but doesn’t have TPM2.0. Replacing every windows machine with new hardware would be an environmental disaster, not to mention the expense or supply issues it would create.
Upgrading hardware for software requirements is understandable for performance reasons, but doing so because of a security feature of no practical benefit for the average user is absurd.
What percentage of windows machines are even considered compatible with Win11?
My family just got a dog recently. When people ask me what he is, I always have to fight the urge to reply “He’s a dog”.
I actually mostly agree and was being a bit sarcastic. Training on newer systems is prohibitive anyway as you mentioned. Sending personell is clearly provocative and should be avoided. I just find the argument that the military industrial complex ran out of the bullets to help is laughable.
Obviously, production increases with demand and lags it causing stockpiles to decrease until output increases. Hopefully the quoted assessment is talking about that dip and not a more serious problem.
Really though, Russia knows the US is obligated to help. They signed the memorandum too, after all. It’s hard to argue with someone that does so in bad faith, but continuing aid is hardly a provocative act.
2022? Russia and the US have been starting or supporting wars of aggression for decades. Opposing crimes against humanity, by force if necessary, should not be controversial even for a pacifist. History shows clearly what happens when such aggression is met with appeasement.
What solution am I too stupid to think of?
Providing military aid is a last resort and a terrible solution. The only worse solution is to give up and hand over a sovereign nation we promised to protect to a tyrant.
Would I prefer the world get their act together and sanction them until they can’t function, obviously yes. I don’t think that’s very likely though, same as most other proposals for ending the conflict as fundamentally only Putin can end it.
Pretty sure the US is sending old surplus stock, and I’m sure the military industrial complex is salivating at the chance to resupply. Maybe if they send slightly newer stuff it might be over quicker.
At any rate, US support for exactly this type of situation was agreed on in the Budapest memorandum as part of Ukrainian nuclear disarmament. Russia broke their end of the bargain and started a war under false pretenses. It is up to them to end it, exactly like it is up to the US to do so when doing the same thing.
If the world can not unite to stand up to countries starting such conflicts, we shall never know peace.
If your setup allows you to be a productive member of society, you’re golden mental health wise. /s
You may want to get your eyes checked if watching HD video on a tiny screen seems preferable unless all your content fits your displays native resolution; I am fairly certain my eyes are terrible. Maybe that’s why I love that dark themes are becoming more popular.
Transparency is nice, but Windows Vista is partially what converted me to Linux. I dislike rounded corners too, since content is always rectangular.
I don’t know why no mainstream desktop OS really has a good mouse driven tiling setup out of the box. I have a dual screen setup, so I mostly just full screen apps and alt tab if needed which reduces distraction. If I’m trying to focus on a single thing, the second screen gets turned off.
I find myself becoming more minimalist over time as well. Society seems to be more distraction driven by the day, so having an OS that stays out of the way is a boon.
