Why don't you open an feature request on their git if you have an issue with volunteer work.
It's funny thinking this guy uses a distro package manager potentially with unofficial patches applied to the package.
It's always better to go that route. I also understand having hardware requirements and not being able to find a version of those models with Linux installed.
I like what system 76 is doing but I don't think they really have competition in the US market right now. If you don't mind a clevo and you live in the US I'd recommend them.
Don't take it personally, it's just a direction I haven't seen many researchers/pen testers use. I've seen most run it on a virtual machine or a second computer and modify Ubuntu/Debian to better suit their needs and a primary computer/os for business transactions etc.
I can't speak for hackers but from anecdotal evidence it seems like they can do their work on most systems but hacking hardware is just easier on Linux in general.
You mean that distro people use to pretend to be a hacker/security researcher. It's just hardened Debian with a few tools installed. I've set something like that up in an afternoon tbh.
That good and all for your saints and what not but how about us sinners.
Some manufacturers allow you to get a refund for pre installed windows if you feel like sitting on the phone for hours. Something about a lawsuit involving Microsoft and anticompetitive contracts with the manufacturer not allowing the distribution of other operating systems.
I've seen a story about someone who got a refund for their dell laptop but it was slow, and the support staff was rude about it during the process. They stated things like the Microsoft software is free and why would you want to remove windows anyway, passing him from department to department. It's often $60-$80 depending on the version of windows etc.
Edit: I should clarify it might only be a US thing, I've heard people in France having some luck.
The easier it is for onboarding the better, even if it includes proprietary software. The discovery of free or open source software will come when they start exploring what's available on Linux and find workflows that suit them.
I like free and open source software but the freedom of choice is what's really important in the end.
It's ok, it's called being a masochist. No one is judging you for using css.😆
Yeah, I know it's not an excuse but I'm lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I've heard it even pays out if it's demonetized (don't take my word on that one though.)
And that's why I don't pay for steaming services, I buy DVDs and put them on my server. Don't ask me what happens when I can't buy a DVD/blueray.
I'm guessing you don't have your foreskin?
