Skipping past the usual deserved ‘fuck Oracle’, what reason do universities (or most organisations for that matter) have to ever use Oracle’s Java? The likes of OpenJDK seem to provide identical functionality for anyone who isn’t specifically supporting Oracle Java customers, and I doubt unis are raising many JDK bugs that warrant paying for support.

Spongebob did it first!

I was surprised to discover how simple Windows commands on Linux (via Wine/Proton) are, x86 on ARM is much harder. That said, Apple have managed it pretty well (Rosetta?) so it’s clearly doable.

Seems like they’ve finally taken some notes from the Steam Deck, interested to see if they can actually make something decent. It seems unlikely, but I’m still interested!

Ah OK, so what’s the difference between uBlue and the other fedora atomic distros? Just different people and a different arrangement of pre-installed stuff?

I’ll answer my own question: there’s plenty more here

So from there I can see

• Aurora
• Bazzite
• Bluefin
• uCore

and then this link which has

• Silverblue
• Kinoite
• Sway Atomic
• Budgie Atomic
• Cosmic Atomic

Does that sound like all of them?

Is there a guide to all the different Universal Blue spins anywhere?

Was there an original uk one? This one is the only one I’m aware of, it had a moment of doubt a year back but we got new admins before we needed to move.

The alternative sounds even worse

Passwords? A relic, and an insecure one at that.

instead of scanning your face (which can be spoofed) or fingerprints (which can be copied), these systems scan the ‘pattern’ of the veins running inside your palm – something that’s unique to you, and absolutely can’t be faked.

Consider me sceptical.

Probably worth putting this in the post description so we don’t all need to ask “what’s that?”
