Since you guys asked about this... (ace120c.neocities.org)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by Ace120C@sopuli.xyz to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Since Some of you guys asked about more details of how I migrated the entire school's infrastructure into Linux Mint, I made a small neocities website where I retell the story with a bit more details as much as I can remember them, took me around a week to make it so go have fun there and enjoy (the website is under the AGPL license, if you are interested you can check out the source code under "License" in the website or go here https://github.com/Ace120C/my-personal-website ) there is more things to improve upon so lemme know if there is anything I should be adding etc.

once again, cheers!

EDIT: The post is in the blogs tab, as now the latest button takes you to the videos tab instead

A quick question (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 2 months ago by Ace120C@sopuli.xyz to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Would you guys be interested if I start a Youtube/PeerTube Channel where I talk about Unix Topics related to Linux, BSD & Plan9 etc... and perhaps rants and rambles about stuff that I like and don't like about how the mainstream treats linux etc etc. (I have a lot to talk about and say) and perhaps devlog updates about a game I'm making (its open source obviously) I don't wanna look like a stupid influencer shill (nobody likes those) but basically I just want a platform where I can speak about what I like and passionate about thats too long to write here, and if a mod/admin is reading this please delete this if its unsuitable for this thread, sorry in advance.

I was browsing on system76's offering to see what PCs they have and noticed that they have an ARM Computer that apparently faster than the fastest Apple Mac but for cheaper (Based), but I'm wondering, how well does ARM computers game on linux with proton, it is very expensive to me atm and I can't afford it, but maybe in the future I could consider it to be my first desktop as I always been using laptops, obviously gaming isn't like the main priority as I would like a workstation to do heavy work such as blender and stuff and perhaps put gentoo on it in the future (if its supported) but I would like to game on the side when I'm winding down that's all, so can it game well?

we agreed on mint, so I had to put that in since I was trying to get the principal to not use "windows is more familiar" excuse

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 months ago

I'll let them figure that out themselves xddd

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 44 points 2 months ago

that's actually an interesting story, makes you wonder if kids nowadys do get exposed to linux first and not windows, would actually learn it faster than having to unlearn windows first?

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 25 points 2 months ago

fair enough, I just hope at some point schools and organizations switches to the cool penguin.

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 months ago

probably but I wasn't allowed to open them (Its too much work for 20+ computers) but atm they got double the speed compared to before with windows

Germany already moved their tech stack to FOSS alternatives for their government assigned computers!

there is actual progress that's being made 🥳

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 months ago

Beats me. maybe they do, maybe they don't? I honestly have no clue, perhaps I should ask.

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 months ago

I didnt know this actually! thanks!

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 months ago

true, normally people would be too afraid

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 27 points 2 months ago

yeah, I don't want trouble xD

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 months ago

yeah, that's hopefully what I hope to happen, perhaps raising a generation of kids on linux will help linux to grow in marketshare!

[-] Ace120C@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 months ago

ikr, didn't expect him to agree

I go to a programming school, where there were computers running ancient windows 8 and some were on windows 10, they ran really slow and were completely unrelaible when doing the tasks that are required, those computers in question had either i5-4750 (I think?) or i7-4970 so running windows 10 with all its bloat was not going to be an easy task for em, so long story short I decided to talk to the principal about it explaining why linux is so much better than windows and gave him reasons why linux will be better for us for education and he agreed after considering it for a bit, he let me know that some students play roblox or minecraft in middle of the lesson and he asks if linux would stop em from doing that, I stated that as long as they dont know how to work with wine/lutris or know any specific linux packages that run windows games on linux they should not be able to play in the middle of lessons. he gave me the green light to do it, so I spent like 3 days migrating like 20+ computers to linux (since I had to set them up and install some required applications for them) in the last day where I was doing a last check up on the PCs to make sure they are in working order, there was a computer having a problem of which where it didnt boot, I let the principal know about this to get permission to work on it, he said yes, so after some troubleshooting I realized the boot order was all screwed, so since Ive worked with arch before I knew how to fix it, I booted up linux mint live image, chrooted, and fixed the boot order and computer went back to life, prinicipal came in checked on everything to make sure everything works, told me to wait for a bit, and then came back and paid me for his troubles (was a bit of a surprised since I expected nothing of the sort), the next day I came to school, sat down, turned PC on, noticed something was in the trash bin, opened it, found "robloxinstall.exe" on it, told the principal about it, he was pleased with it, so now 2 weeks later he seems now to be confident about linux, as he told me there is another class he is considering to move to linux.

so my question here would be: does this mean linux now is ready for the education sector?

(considering now, that I got a win win situation, I get to use an OS that I like in school, students gets to focus on the lessons instead of slacking.)
