Hilton’s internet is amazingly shitty.

Comicly so, it is so bad. Dial up is right.

In any case Hampton is owned by Hilton so they must be using the same outsourced internet group.

Hilton: nickle and dime you any chance we can while pretending to be a nice hotel.

Fedora is sponsored by Redhat it is true. Not the only sponsers of course. And I get that Redhat is IBM (sadly). I would be a lot more concerned if Redhat was under Oracle, so while IBM isn’t great, it could be worse.

But other than that, it is a community driven model, I don’t believe they take direction from Redhat or exclusively obfuscate or hamper OSS because of Redhat.

I mean if you go down this rabbit hole, take a look at all the major contributors and sponsors for the linux kernel itself…

Fedora.

Possibly Open Suse

As a first distro why make it more complicated?

BTW: Never Ubuntu.

CachyOS, at the end of the day feels and acts like a bleeding edge linux distro. Fedora on the other hand hides all of that and yet is also bleeding edge. I usually get packages BEFORE CachyOS with Fedora (matter of days usually, but just highlighting how current it usually is).

Very important to enable wobbly windows as well.

Left because of XP. Win 2000 was fine. XP started all of the crap. It was when you needed to have a corporate key to actually control the computer and have all the features that win 2000 did. The colors were awful and the design was piss poor of course, but I could have dealt with that.

This was when Microsoft began introducing online accounts. They started trying to really wedge explorer into everything. You could buy music online with them, but ONLY with explorer. There were three programs that were forced on everyone (I forget what they are now). People didn’t like it so they gave people a “remover”, and was supposed to remove those programs. Except they lied, and all it did was hid the icons.

The writing was on the wall. Win XP was when MS jumped the shark and began the decline. I could see it in real time and wanted nothing more to do with them. So Linux it was.

I noticed. When Windows XP came out I saw the enshitification right away. Never mind the play-skool colors and complete lack of security. I couldn’t believe that people were going to be willing to use that crap.

I moved away from it for me and my business fairly quickly, and that was that.

I did notice over the years as winxp went away in public spaces and hotels. It was always kind of nice to know there were free to use computers out in the wild if one wanted to use them. XP was never able to be locked down, so you could bypass any login and just use it if you wanted to. Never for anything important, but I could always load up some games on the hotel one and let the kids play on it for fun for example.

It may not have all the mods Minecraft does, but it supports various games like VoxelLibre and Minecraft which also supports mods and both provide actual gameplay not just testing.

Exile is also available in luanti and its brutal survival.

You used to not need Moonlight or something like that with linux. We just ssh XForward the application to the client. (well technically they server, but that gets confusing).
