Holy crud, I can just straight up join this to my domain? This is world-changing. There is a GPO template. I think I'm in love.
Does anyone know why I can find the admx and get going or is it reading the standard windows policies? Can't seem to find any articles/documentation.

The problem is that GPOs are really a terrible way to do configuration, and people (like myself) who grew up on them simply were Stockholm'd into accepting them. The moment you learn about things like Ansible, and then ask "wait, what if I want to programatically make GPOs"-- and try to do so-- you realize just how horrendously bad they are. Their permissions inheritance is terrible, so trying to do least-privelege /…
"GPOs is the worst form of policy management, except for all the others." I've yet to see something as comprehensive, navigable, and flexible. Sure, it can be horrendously complicated, especially if you chose not to clean up the old mess, but it's still... basically better than everything else.
Setting up SCCM is an exercise in hating your life but once you have the servers up it’s stupidly powerful.
In the Linux world — Ansible if you want push, Puppet if you want pull.

How so? https://ubuntu.com/blog/howto-host-your-own-snap-store
In fact, Bret Barker has published an open source (Apache License) SNAP store on GitHub. We’re already looking at how to flesh out his proof-of-concept and bring it into snapcore itself. https://github.com/noise/snapstore/

Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat >CentOS makes the Beta & RC testing and RedHat gets more thoroughly tested patches and, that's it. CentOS is moving to a Debian Testing meets Arch Linux position. It's neither stable as Debian Testing, Nor supported like Arch and lacks any official support and possibly no security patch support. This isn't correct. Debian Testing is a true rolling release distribution for the next "majo…
Daniel, thanks for the comment and clarifications in (Googled your twitter account for your first name, hope that's OK). Actually, the initial communication of this issue was so vague from our perspective, so this is what I and my colleagues understood. Again, thanks for clarifying, because I personally don't want to bash CentOS, but want to understand what's happening and continue to use it. Maybe it would be benefi…

You don't actually have to use someone's personal info just because you have it BTW. Just saying thanks is enough.
If he wanted me to remove it, I would have happily done so.
Also, I just pasted his nick to Google and it came on top. So I presume he didn’t try to hide his name. If I have sensed the contrary, I would not dig one step further.

I just wanted to be kind, sincere, and asked his permission explicitly in my comment I presume. At least it was my intention. If he wanted me to remove it, I would have happily done so.

NVIDIA tends to be good (in an evil way) at proprietary lock-in, but they also tend to be good (in a genuine way) at making better thought-out and more advanced APIs. What's the balance of these two qualities in EGLStreams (as compared to GBM)?
I've looked into this myself before, because I was curious and had the same thought as you. I don't feel comfortable making any detailed claims about GBM vs EGLStreams and which is better, but I will say there are absolutely some tradeoffs between the two and neither is entirely without merit. The thing that is worth noting is how this situation came to be. That is, there was at one point a conference where the commu…

Somewhat related: I’ve been using GNOME 40 on my Arch-based desktop and it’s really slick. It’s making the switch from macOS a little less painful. Looks like it didn’t make into this release. Completely unrelated: I just discovered Rofi (extensible Spotlight-ish launcher for Linux) and it’s lovely, especially when bound to Super+Space.
How many of you upgrade day of release? Wait a little bit to see how others feel about it? or only stick to LTS?
(Using Xfce, but also have KDE and Gnome installed too.)
