Hi possiblylinux127,

I have 200 years of experience with Microsoft Systems, and six children. Janie is just going to her first day of school today, and I'm buying her a Zune - a project I was heavily involved in and am proud of the commercial success that it was.

I have extensively worked on GPO as a developer, engineer, architect, project manager, lead coffee run guy and support officer. It is, like all our products, perfect and would never experience any issue itself, it is always user error.

I am sorry to hear you are having a GPO permissions issue. Before I tell you the solution, might I suggest you purchase the Microsoft Advanced GPO Support® or the Microsoft Expert (24/7) Support® support packages. We are currently throwing in a special on our 1hr response, 8 week resolution SLAs at the moment for only an additional $8,999 USD! Here are a few links:

Microsoft Advanced GPO Support®

Microsoft Expert (24/7) Support®

Your solution can be found below, and is guaranteed to fix the issue:

1. Open Start.

2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as administrator option.Type the following command to repair the Windows system files and press Enter:

3. sfc /scannow

I would greatly appreciate it if you could click on Mark As Answered if this resolved your GPO problem. Janie really needs that Zune.

That’s not a full version of Windows and some apps won’t run. But many things do, and it’s come in handy many times.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up. Switching to KeePassXC-full when it becomes available.

Sadly. Now, though, Mozilla has instructions you can follow to return to their PPA.

I’ve been using it ever since Ubuntu switched over. No major issues, though I have to launch Calibre (the ebook manager) via the command line with a special environment variable because the developer is anti-Wayland. I’m looking for alternatives.

My T470 worked just fine without thinkfan installed. Is that just something model-specific?

I use Scrivener for writing. Aside from one or two minor display bugs, it works great on WINE. Switch the UI to GNOME’s Cantrell font and it blends in fairly nicely.

Switching from Word to LibreOffice Writer was hard. Sure, I figured out documents on my own, but it still won’t print envelopes correctly (the printer doesn’t respect the margins and orientation compared to my Windows install).

I assume changing platforms and apps is harder when you use your computer to make money. I feel for the OP in the screenshot. Assuming his hardware is compatible, I’m sure he could take some time to learn a FOSS alternative but it’d be a while until he was proficient enough to make a living. The commenter was dickish but correct. Still, let’s not assume switching apps is as easy as switching gas stations.

All right, OP’s in the club!

That firmware part isn’t new. Back in the day when we were dual-booting Linux on PowerPC Macs, macOS was still needed for firmware updates.

tl;dr, podcasts are expensive to produce, about $1000/hour with video, hosts (local and remote), and post-production. TWiT is going through hard times and some shows and hosts have to go. Sadly, FLOSS was on the chopping block.

Advertisers just aren’t interested in podcasts anymore. If you still want to support the network after this, give Leo $7/month and join Club TWiT. I don’t give a rat’s ass about Discord, but I do want to prevent stuff like this.

I tried Linux when I was younger. I decided to try Gentoo on underpowered hardware with zero Linux experience. I credit that uphill battle for teaching me Linux! I used that until I got into dependency hell and switched back to Windows for a while. I needed PowerShell and stuff for my old job, before it went cross-platform. It was fine.

A few years later, I was dual-booting again. Then, Windows 10 began blue-screening randomly. I couldn’t figure out why. Reinstalling didn’t work. So I started using Linux full-time and I’ve never looked back.

Even when I found out that one of my memory sticks had been half-inserted for months, and that’s probably what made Windows crash all the time. How did Linux handle it? Obviously, because it’s better.
