Microsoft is too slow full stop.

When will there be a viable alternative that runs industry standard software?

Proton made games run well on Linux, maybe all it takes is one big company picking up wine, and making it run all the different office software? It cannot be that hard.

I think its harder with "standard" software as it uses the Windows UI toolkit and stuff. Games usually only require an empty window to render + all the GUI is custom in DirectX/Vulkan/etc.

Desktop linux has all standard software. It's just incompetent IT teams trying to sugarcoat the fact they keep throwing money down the Microsoft drain.

Desktop linux doesn't even have anything close to things like group policies. And if by magic that function would appear tomorrow, it would disappear again the day after tomorrow. Sure active directory and group policies have their flaws but its ease of use and tight integration blows everything else out of the water.

You're bringing up an important point. However: As far as I can tell, Linux can very well be integrated into an Active Directory setup.[0,1] Also: If you want to avoid Active Directory altogether, there seem to be plenty alternatives?[2]

Are there any alternatives to ActiveDirectory in the Linux ecosystem? Maybe from RedHat?

There are no enterprise alternatives to Active Directory. Just like there are no enterprise alternatives to Exchange.

They're simply too well integrated, too easy to manage, and have more features than their competitors.

Silicon valley is able to shoehorn their Macbooks into "compliance" but somehow it'd be a problem to do the same with linux desktops?

That's incorrect.

Agree to disagree.

macOS has MDM tooling like Microsoft's InTune, or JAMF, and I'm sure a few others. macOS is designed for MDM profiles, just like iOS is.

This is what makes Mac manageable.

Industry standard software like what, MS Office?

Solidworks, RFEM, other niche applications only run on Windows...

I made the switch to Google Workspace and Docs years ago...

At a recent company used the Microsoft largely for teams, but there are so many unnecessary headaches and time consuming log-ins (each taking a few seconds that continually add up) that the next paradigm cannot come soon enough...

The best way off Microsoft is via the browser... Vanilla JS Webgl etc

Prediction: we are less than a year away from this becoming a reality...

Edit: Possible solution: simply boot into a browser, with an underlying cloud syncing filesystem with trusted circles of sharing...

How many seconds would be required to go from power button to accepting input in this paradigm?

Depending on the industrie there is really nothing holding them back other than dirty Microsoft deals and lazy bosses

If people did not give credit where credit is due.

What if our primary feed is HN?

Then you will digest what ycombinator wants for you.

A multi lane Rocksmith like interface, that dynamically adjust the difficulty of the chords based on the performers ability would be amazing.

"This one goes to Alan Holdsworth"

This looks very good.

Is there syntax for dependent tasks in the timeline? In other words tasks that only start once prerequisites are done.

If the date of the original tasks changes, the dependent tasks move accordingly automatically, without needing to edit a full list of dates for each dependent item.

It has checklists

While over abstracting is one type of architectural problem, another unique, yet altogether different issue, is what looks like effective engineering, but turns out to be pseudo-engineering. Overchitecture is more like “Catch me if you can.”

The appearance of competence to the average Joe, that is total “Bullshit McAuley”

To refine the question ~ where do japans most notable products originate from, so we can visit the source?

Something like https://sinatrarb.com/ for rust would be cool.

Axum + minijinja is quite close to this I would say. Been using it for a little while and I am very happy so far.

Seconding the recommendation, it's really great when paired with HTMX on the frontend too.

Can we have a search engine that only indexes sites like this and does not index any site that does meet the requirements listed?
