I really hate it that the recycle bin isn't selected by default when you search for it. Even if I type out "recycle bin", Storage is still the highlighted top choice.

When you type in the start menu, with the latest update, it has started flashing a SEARCH REWARDS badge. Clicking on it is a mistake, I clicked to see if I could disable it and it immediately signed me up for bing search rewards and started spamming me with email. So then I had to unsubscribe to that.

The fact that search has been broken since release is hilarious to me. I have no idea how they hosed up so badly. It's completely unfathomable. How the gently caress do you, as the first party of the entire OS, with the most resources of anyone in the market, get out-UXed by some randomly cobbled together Linux system developed by volunteers. How.

You will have to be more specific than that. The start menu failing entirely is a common mode of failure that shouldn't exist but happens all the drat time.

I've been running KDE Plasma for years because I like it a lot. It's just so much quieter. It doesn't constantly want my attention and even if something pops up I can quickly mute it. And the start menu is actually sane. It just walks a few paths for .desktop files. They are simple human-readable key=value files that optionally carry all localisation content for description/name etc. On Windows, the start menu is some kind of database that gets constructed and mutated by dark forces in the background and your program must follow specific conventions so it can get a high resolution image, and you can add things via some weird xml file that's half documented for OEMs and if it gets ingested before a program it references is installed the tile is empty and you need to create both legacy .lnk start menu files AND the xml and WHAT THE gently caress IS THIS poo poo MICROSOFT. WHAT. THE. gently caress.

From my very limited experience Mint does just fine accessing files off of NTFS shares. But I didnt live in dual boot mode very long before I said the hell with it and just went full Linux. I'm not much of a gamer but Steam/Proton DB for linux is pretty great and the few games I've wanted to play here and there have been easy enough to get going. I think if you're trying to play the latest and greatest games though you may run into more problems.

I have just put Mint on my Win10 computer. Win10 is on C: Mint is on D: D: has been partitioned on win10 prior to the Mint install, the clean partition has no drive assigned in it. Booted off the Mint USB, Mint installed Mint on the clean partition of "D:". Boot priority is set to "D:" so Mint boots up to a pre boot screen, and because Linux is not poo poo, asks me: Do you want to boot into Win10 on C or off Mint on D? Absolutely beautiful and easy to use. And yes, you can access all the windows files on C and D from Mint. Windows can't access the Mint partition on the physical disk that has "D:" on it, just FYI. Well, it can access it, but not assign a drive letter to it and use it (at least not from diskmgmt.msc). Steakandchips fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jun 10, 2020 |

Another thing worth mentioning, if you have an old desktop or laptop sitting around just install Ubuntu server or something like on that to get your feet wet and learn more about the OS. I had an old Lenovo mini computer that I installed Ubunutu server on to play around with Docker. Give yourself a goal and try to do it all through the CLI. Doing that I built out a Plex/Sonarr/Radarr/Sabnzbd setup all through the CLI. It was a fun experiment and it gave me a decent enough footing in Linux to be comfortable tooling around. I'm not an expert by any means but I dont feel like an absolute beginner anymore either. I knew enough to get my AWS instance running a website too which was another fun experiment and helped me get my AWS-SA cert. Basically give yourself a goal in Linux and work towards it.

poo poo pissing me off today: Concur and QB integration Not sure if this is SAP directly or a 3rd party but they require the admin of QB/Concur to install their web connector on the server that hosts the QB file, so loving stupid; their response when I brought that up was that we could create a batch file to run the data transfer/upload that the admin runs rather than logging into the server... I mean, I'm sure I can create a task to fire to do this thing or something but holy crap this is dumb.

The other way around is trickier. There are a few ext2 drivers available for Windows, and thanks to the forward/backward compatibility you can for the most part mount ext3/4 filesystems with them (though without the benefits of later features like journaled writes) but it's definitely not as clean as accesssing NTFS from Linux. There's a new exFAT driver in Linux which would probably be worth considering for cross-platform external drives, but I don't think it's ideal for internal drive use.

I exchange data (if even have to, since I basically never boot Windows) via my NAS. It's easier for me than mounting ntfs.

hoo boy. Got a good one this morning. Our VOIP provider (VOIP.ms because gently caress them) got back to us about a CNAM update ticket with the following: "We have found that the number <blahblah> is not in our network and was incorrectly posted in our stock. In this case, we will cancel this number and refund all the charges that were applied for it so you can get another one. Apologies for the inconvenience". We purchased this number in a block along with 100 other numbers. IN JANUARY. And it has been successfully set up and working since January. Where did this number go? Oh, just to a religious organization's gift shop. Where does it go now? Well if you call it, you get no response, and then you get a text message with the following: "GFE $140 1/2 hour, $160 full hour. BBFS $180 1/2 hour, $200 full hour". (If you don't know these acronyms, and I didn't, I suggest not Googling them at work). Couldn't make this poo poo up.

The sub-domain I work in has 44 DCs spread from Singapore to Germany (the long way over the Pacific). Replication of changes in AD takes 15-4320 minutes (i.e. sometimes you have to leave it over the weekend for a new GPO to start working). Microsoft can't test that in-house, it's impossible. We're in a permanent live beta for our mission critical infrastructure and always will be.
