Refurbished drives get their SMART data reset during the process, they absolutely had more than that originally.

There's 102 people mentioned in that commit and two of them happen to meet in the comments of a meme thread on Lemmy of all places. I love the Internet.

Docker is open source, licensed under Apache-2.0. Not really sure what you're talking about.

it's probably time to come to terms with the fact that better alternatives would have arisen had anyone thought they could truly manage it.

This is the most important takeaway. There's a lot of people whining about Wayland, but Wayland devs are currently the only people actually willing to put in the work. Nobody wants to work on X and nobody wants to make an alternative to Wayland, so why do we keep wasting time on this topic?

Why doesn't Israel stop doing things that require other countries to intervene

Communists are great. Authoritarians are the problem. Much like how Nazis called themselves socialists, plenty of other awful people like to adopt our words and twist them to manipulate.

You didn't criticize it, you simply stated that it was bad, in a clear attempt at baiting a reaction out of people. This is fragile loser behavior and indicative of an unwell mind. Seek healing.

  1. Flatpaks are usually fresher than point release distro packages
  2. Flatpaks are distro-agnostic
  3. Flatpaks are easily containerized for increased security and privacy
  4. Flatpaks can guarantee you have a known-good dependency chain directly tested by the developers/maintainers themselves
  5. Flatpaks can be installed and managed entirely in userspace

What you're probably referring to is running a virtual machine with VFIO passthrough. I hate to be that guy, but this is one of those "if you have to ask for help, you probably shouldn't do it" kind of situations. It's complicated and easy to mess up, requires a decent amount of knowledge of both Linux and Windows, and every situation is unique. There's no cookie-cutter way to set it all up.

But if you're willing to buckle down and learn anyways, the best way would be to do it from scratch. This is the best documentation I'm aware of on the subject, but it's tailored heavily for Arch Linux, a rather advanced distro to use.

I don't care. We don't do deceptive dark patterns in FOSS.

I literally didn't put it together that it was FS-Tab until a couple years ago when I was setting up an encrypted drive manually in /etc/crypttab, something I had done many times before, when it finally clicked.

I've used Linux heavily for about 15 years.
