My old shitty Asus laptop used to be dual partitioned with Ubuntu + windows, because it was my only computer with a webcam, but now that I’ve upgraded, I’m considering wiping it and running some lightweight Linux distribution, and using it just for TubeArchivist and a couple of other docker images.
The old MacBook runs fairly sluggishly these days, but it’s still good for basic schoolwork and I primarily use it for running UNIX based scripts and such, since I still don’t know how to use WSL. Ansible and WM-SPN nainly
I was going to do this with the kids’ laptop until the internet connection became too unstable.
I’d like to learn Docker and even Kubernetes on top of that. Having a computer I’m using for something specific will help with that a lot.
And fuck Microsoft for only allowing remote desktop on enterprise versions of windows. I want to set up a remote connection so I can leave this laptop behind the TV and not need to touch it unless absolutely necessary. Any version of linux would let me do so
And fuck Microsoft for only allowing remote desktop on enterprise versions of windows
MAS has a change windows edition feature, which I believe also lists the enterprise editions. I’m not sure if it works, or if there’s any catches, but I used it to upgrade from normal windows to pro and it worked well
I heard it’s easy to change versions and even get free copies of windows. I ran this other tool I read about that I think edits the DLL files and just turns it on. If that doesn’t workI’ll try this
