I like that Flatpak counts as a distro in this chart. I assume it's because the Steam flatpak does not really have access to distro information when the survey hits.
Also, the change between 2020 and 2024 for Arch and Ubuntu is wild. They switched places....
I think the point is to make people aware of their progress and that they are open for testing.
Plasma-pa is built on libpulse, but pipewire is an in-place replacement for that anyway. Kmix is still only built with qt5 on Arch, while Plasma-pa and the rest of Plasma is qt6.
I was considering doing something similar to OP, but I also think it's better to do it the other way around, having the backup server connect to the network when it's time to do a backup. Then you can just use the trusty ssh/rsync combo for backup.
I work at a microsoft based company and I am running Linux on my machine after getting approval from my IT security people.
I do need to set a couple of things up, for my machine to still be compliant with the company policies.
So far that is:
But whether you are allowed to or not, really depends on your IT department and the company policies.
Sure, if you call that average. ;)
I wouldn't call compiling from source the average experience these days.
Most software is gonna be in the distro repositories or as a flatpak/snap/appimage.
I didn't know about Yale. It's bluetooth only?
The Schlage HA integration states that it relies on the cloud (cloud polling), so they go against your fourth point.
I am also interested in something like this for later down the line.
I have basic video editing needs, so I just use Kdenlive, which can do a lot of stuff.
But that requires a broker, right?
It's fast, but you are only installing
base,linuxandgrub.base-develshould also be there, since it's assumed to be installed by any PKGBUILD you'd want to build with makepkg.But yes. It does what it said it would do: Install a basic, minimal Arch system in just over a minute.
