That’s cool.

Receiving signal up in low earth orbit! Congrats!

Sounds like you should get a basic low power linux box going!

Okay, then yes - I can see it all! I can see the title post, AND the 9 panel shows up. Clicking the link also loads the picture in Boost.

Wait, I’m confused. About something. I’ll leave this up so you can look.

Hello, thanks for your ongoing image stuggles~

On Alexanderite, the second comic shows:

However on Boost and the default Lemmy front end it does not:

They be grace, they be elegance, hey those cats a’ sitting two a’ pence!

What are you doing with your machine that would be confusing for your standard end user? KDE out of the box is good enough for my daily driving. PopOS, Bazzite, and Mint work great. GUI options for most normal computing things you’d do these days. The amount of customization allowed on an end user’s machine is often minimal anyway. Plus, you sorta imply that the end user would be doing all this, instead of an IT admin preconfiguring a machine with Ansible or a custom install script. I think you may be over estimating what your typical business user does. It’s mostly “Here’s my chat, here’s my browser, here’s my 1-5 LOB apps, here’s my printer. Can I change my background to my kids? Great.”

Between cloud apps and RemoteApp technology, there is a pretty decent chance for Linux desktops with Windows servers becoming the norm, again, for smaller size businesses. Organizations I work with still use thin clients, which - what’s the difference? And based on end user reactions to the UI when upgrading to Windows 11 - all change is hard. They’d get used to it fast. Especially if it acts mostly like Windows 10.

Well mySQL certainly is not, I judge this to be a correct statement!
