(b) is much more resilient, because the onus is not on Kaspersky spyware to maintain a blacklist and naughty sites which will constantly be out of date
You think an underfunded government department can do a better job than a security company with money enough to give their bosses bonuses each year?
Unless your company’s IT department specifically setup the drives on the local network to be accessible from other OS’s then Windows, you won’t be able to connect to them, without setting up Samba/CIFS.
As others have status, if you are allowed to use Linux as a company device, ask your IT department how to access the company stuff. If you are not really allowed and are just doing, you probably won’t have access to much that is not a webapp.
General Fedora feedback: the discover update app feels lacking here. As a new user, I expect more of a description about what each application/service is as well as a clickable link to read more about the app and the update.
That’s because Discover handles 3 types of updates.
I simply just use the ppd, but my laptop is low power no dgpu anyway.
Pretty sure Vivaldi has all of that. And they where on Linux from the start.
Best you can do for the battery is turning down the screen brightness to the lowest setting where you can still see what’s on the screen. Mine is ususally at 20-30% brightness.
I noticed you left Windows Vista and 8 off the list. :) That’s okay, most people want to forget they ever existed.
Sounds like it could be a power saving setting kicking in.

If it only presents SMART information and temperature and such, you don’t need that software. Tools like smartctl and lm_sensors provides this.
I’m usually not a ranting person. But it does happen from time to time. 😉
So this is a “don’t move my cheese” post?
I understand the need the vent from time to time, but most people have/create blogs for such things. Maybe it’s just time to look for another xmpp client.
You also need to make sure all the dependencies are installed. Those are usually listed in a requirements.txt file and can be installed with pip.
Seems like it’s part of the 6.6.0 release. Arch has it in testing at version 6.6.0 at least.
Make sure the fan is not full of dust. Clean it out if it is. Most systems shutdown/reboot if it gets overheated.
Nonsense, MS has an Intune client for Linux.
I know, I have used it. But it does not enforce any policies. Just tells you if you are compliant or not.
Too bad. Skill issue. They need to learn how to manage Linux just like any other new tech.
And that’s my point. They could do it. Some do. But most companies, in my country at least, pick the easy solution, which is to not support Linux.
I think the problem with Linux in the workplace is that it’s hard (read harder than Windows and MacOS) to setup to be managed devices. Especially if the company is a Microsoft shop to begin with. The IT security teams just don’t know how to enforce the company policies on Linux machines. Enforce password policy, network credentials and managed apps. It easy with Intune for Windows and Mac. Much harder on Linux.
That’s the reason I was given by my work place, when I was “forced” to switch from Linux to Windows.
I’d check with other USB ports then. If the receiver is not even detected, it’s often a defective USB port.
What DE you like is very much dependant on your work flow and how well you can adjust to changes.
Personally, I love KDE Plasma. It’s the right amount of “bling”, bells, whistles, aestetic and settings for me. Gnome feels way to “simple” and XFCE feels reliable but old.
For me, the DE is often more important than the base underneath, but I do like my rolling release. :)
I’m probably in the 5-6 area. Maybe a toe into 7.
Qt 6.11. That’s what is in Arch’s KDE-Unstable repository at least.
