@knoppix95 this is nothing new.

#Lenovo almost always offered around €125 discount for "no operating system" and €100 for #UbuntuLTS over #Windows - if they offer any of those options at all…

What is a problem is that Lenovo doesn't actually #Support even "#Ubuntu #certified" devices like the #P15v and it's #Intel #XMM7360-based #WWAN chip, the #Fibocom #850GL, at all, and they refuse to provide #drivers for it!

@topher the problem is the #Enshittifiaction and #Enfattening of #Websites and #Applications!

Seriously, I think that #Microsoft should be sued into insolvency for the way they create 100% avoidable #eWaste with #CensorBoot and #Windows11 to the point that if I didn't have my current job, I'd basically collect all the old machines from companies that are stupid enough to use #Windows [and they'll likely give them away for free minus SSDs / HDDs instead of paying €5+ for #recycling], shove some #Linux on [i.e. #RaspberryPiOS, #BunsenLabsLinux or #UbuntuLTS] and sell those off as used electronics for a good profit.

@DigA_UniLeipzig @stbc @caos @uni_wuppertal also ich hab' seinerzeit (2013-2017) nur #UbuntuLTS auf Desktops und Servern dort gesehen, mit wenigen Ausnahmen wie #OpebSUSUE in einigen Laboren.

Würde mich wundern wenn die das umgestellt hätten!

  • Gab jedenfalls auch ne zentrale Nutzerverwaltung samt /home/-Verzeichnis per NFS.

Ob #Labdscape oder nen händisch installiertes #LDAP / #Samba-#AD weiß ich leider nicht!

  • Einfach mal die IT dort fragen?

NRW.socialstbc (@stbc@nrw.social)@caos@plasmatrap.com @kkarhan@infosec.space @DigA_UniLeipzig@wisskomm.social @uni_wuppertal@wisskomm.social Stimmt nicht. Es gibt ne Menge Ubuntu/Debian auf Servern. Und bestimmt auch Menschen mit Linux auf dem Desktop. Aber bestimmt nicht die Mehrheit und auch nicht als gesteuerte Maßnahme.

@topher #Antivirus is for the most part #Scareware aimed at scamming #TechIlliterates which at best only works against kniwn threats and at worst is literal #Malware in and of itself selling user data to bad actors.

As for the rest one can just scan #Fileservers regularly and do so on #Mailservers, but existing tools to enforce quick and early updates on those distros already do most of the heavy lifting re: #ITsec...

@S_Paternotte @GrapheneOS meanwhile I see #OpenAI literally using falsified #UserAgent|s and #DDoS'ing clients at work so hard I have to ban entire ASNs and /10 networks just because they ca't be assed to respect the robots.txt and refuse to accept beibg given 403 errors.

-Needless to say banning #GrapheneOS which are by far the most security-focussed and most diligent in terms of #Aftermarket-#Android-#ROM|s whilst not banning #outdated Android versions is like banning a "#SecureBoot|ed" #UbuntuLTS or #OpenBSD installation and going out of one's way to brick #Wine whilst still supporting #WindowsXP in 2025!

@RandamuMaki @ColetteDiskette I don't make the rules, and suits in corporations love to have some actual assurance to cover their asses.

  • I don't think that distros without commercial support by the maintainer are worse or better, but those people usually want to have some contract on paper...

Personally, I only use #UbuntuLTS because it makes it easier for me to get some suits to calm down and because I don't want to reinstall my.system every 6 months...

@SweetAIBelle Needless to say I've to dig deeper at the #OEM #Installer mode at @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS #Desktop and how to setup a System so it'll retroactively encrypt at least $HOME with #LUKS...

Alas I should look at my own #postinstall tool and get it up to snuff...

  • I just wished I'd be paid to do my projects full time, cuz that would really kill the anxiety and frustration and provide the necessary stability to do so.

@SweetAIBelle very nifty...

Ideally with some nifty tools (compareable to Tails' #PersistentSotrage) to allow mounting local/remote storage as $HOME and potentially leverage toram as boot option.

Certainly that "#RescueLinux" part is mid- to ongterm goal of OS/1337 and I am working on it (abeit at a pace slower than I want to cuz 'things happen in meatspace' and those sadly require my full attention...

  • Needless to say it's always good to have a nifty system at hand (worst-case I'd install @ubuntu / #UbuntuLTS #Desktop on an external SSD/HDD and have that at hand) if one doesn't have their Distro on a hot-swappable / toolless replaceable drive anyway...

Using #ArchLinux is quite good because it makes it easy to get started and adapt said system as need be.

@eobeara @eniko my experience is more like #Debian and #UbuntuLTS Server...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@dalias@hachyderm.io @eniko@peoplemaking.games but to answer [the original post](https://peoplemaking.games/@eniko/113701284138157528): - Yes, and most #server #distros should support that using i.e. #CloudInit or you just setup the server in a #VM to your liking and then just ```dd``` that disk image to a USB drive. https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/113501525965760653 Worst-case you manually install i.e. Ubuntu LTS Server or Debian on it once and enable SSH server so you can then shove it back into the closet.
