Anything that has a remote interface is garbage. It’s all cursor mouse based except on a few devices.

It’s not as good as Plex by a long shot. If you have Plex pass no brainer. If not, I’d personally just buy the pass. On Xbox it was just unusable.

I personally have a custom block on my setup, but I’m hardly average and use a qnap nas for my Linux service needs.

But to answer your question, yes basically most do. The average user walks into a best buy or Walmart and buys something in their price range. An even smaller percent will head to Dell or iBuyPower and buy a “low, mid, high” range of pre-builts and make few if any real customization.

They will do no research into GPU/CPU other than nivida vs AMD vs intel choices. They have no idea other than some very basic performance numbers eg I have 32G or ram and would give you a funny look if you asked them about vram.

You have zero clue.

EntreID is a SAML/ODIC IdP. You have to run something like Keycloak or purchase Okta.

Apple doesn’t offer true MDM, only tracking and disabling. JAMF, the premire apple MDM has absolutely nothing on InTune.

SharePoint is a disaster, but far less so than SMB, and it’s usually a lack of process more than the tech. But out of the box you have RBAC sharing and access controls with data labeling and scanning every single email and document for PII leakage and prevent it from being savrd much less sent.

You are clearly a non practitioner and completely ignorant with zero experience with MSP services.

We’re in a thread about usability and the first thing I have to do is research special companies and pay a premium to make shit work? Muuuch easier.

I’m not saying Linux isn’t usable as a daily. I’m saying it requires more work. Certainly moreso than OSX which is the realistic alternative path for most users.

Usage has little to do with office. It’s the identity controls, easy compliance, built in MDM, SharePoint/OneDrive, etc. Office is the add-on. Identity, RBAC, SAML, laptop fleet deployment out of the box.

But I use docker to write my react apps! Totally the same thing!

Even with containers being easy apple fucked up file performance because of apfs and windows is the far better choice.

Ahh right the. 01% of users actually using Unix on their Mac minis 🤣

Immediately you all go out to edge cases that pretty much only developers and maybe some days folks run into 🤣.

Tossing out SMB as if normal people use that shit 🤣. You folks just don’t get it. Most people don’t even want to deal with installing Plex from a double click. They open the Web browser and that’s 85% of the usage.

I build HA services in AWS all day. I understand how peaceful Linux is. You are missing the point entirely.

Year of the e Linux desktop!

The only reason Linux desktop has a fighting chance is valve is putting in billions to fix the mistakes of people like you.

System 76 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Even.

Peak Linux forum shit. One of the most buggy laptops and OS I’ve ever used. I can’t believe you people write this stuff.

What other systems do you think the average user comes into contact with that shares a usage paradigm with Linux?

Because nobody actually spends 2 weeks debloating and using Linux desktop isn’t easier. This community exaggerates the difficulty of windows while minimizing Linus desktop issues.

This meme is basically a late night infomercial.

Self hosting backups for anything remotely critical is usually a terrible terrible idea. Carry on.

Yes.

Only if you spend all your time on the Internet she start believing this crap lololol

I guess you don’t work under communism.

The other person is correct. Managed service provider. The folks running the SaaS, Hardware and sometimes compliance.

How many young lesbians do you think watched this show vs horny straight boys?

No. Anytime who has actually done MSP work understand that most businesses are not purchasing office. They are purchasing a compliance and technology and identity control plane that has just about every add on a business needs.

Personal office use has always been a nice secondary.

Confidently incorrect perfection.
