Linux 4.20!

Sweet, the next version of the Linux kernel is 4.20! Wasn't sure if he'd pick 4.20 or 5.0 but here we are!

Dude, it's cool, I'm glad he scored so much

When it comes to security, kernel remains an open source, it is extremely difficult to breach, making it a highly secured version in comparation with others. One of the primary reasons for its success and widespread use is because of high tech security. Also it has a strong user community, because all the users have access to the source code and they are able to find any vulnerability before a hacker could. If I were to choose linux or windows, for sure my choice will be linux. By the way, a fact about linux is that more than 95% of servers run on linux, and there are a lot of services like cheap storage vps, giving the possibility to own a huge virtual space to run applications.

I use both OS's. My flavor of Linux is Ubuntu which can be installed and run from a command line in Windows using WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux. I also run different linux installs using virtualbox. I use Vultr often for VPS's as well.

Running in Windows. I haven't had any issues with it. Acts just like a dedicated Linux box.

I have been using Unix based OSes since 1991. I started using GNU/Linux in 1999 and I have been using it exclusively since 2006. I am really amazed how people can put up with Windows, it is so bad. I use Xubuntu 20.04 LTS on my desktop. Gallium OS on an EOL Chromebook and my media server runs Bodhi Linux. I am also running a Playstation 2 games server based on Debian on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.

Hey guys,

New member to this site was super stoked to find this thread! Leaving age out of this (35) I recently got into learning linux. Well computers in general. About 3 months ago if you asked me to rename a folder on a windows machine I probably would have written "George" on masking tape and covered the folders name. Since then I've made it to a point of running a machine with a popular Linux distro, using VM's on a "Linode" server using docker etc... All this because I put the proverbial carriage ahead of the horse. I often find myself googling how to do things I feel like I should know. It feels like I should be taking what I can only assume is a whole twelve semesters of "Linux 101" at Berkeley. Other than "Linux From Scratch" could you guys point me in a direction in understanding the use of "pipes" "brackets" "quotes" "curl", why you echo when moving a dir. etc.? I know this is a weird first post on a canna-culture site but, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take" thanks in advance.

Wait, stoners work in IT? lol I'm by nature somewhat lazy so of course i work on automation. Just ended up getting more into linux (Raspberry PI, Kali) as a hobby on the side. Aside from software development im just a nerd with tech stuff. Currently working on automating my grow room, i will still be manually taking care of them as its what i would prefer but still just want to see if i can do it.

open source is where it's at. trying out mx-fluxbox.

The Linux kernel is always full of surprises and it's great to see the enthusiasm around its development. I was also on the edge of my seat wondering if it'd be 4.20 or jump straight to 5.0, but hey, 4.20 it is!

Utilizing different operating systems like Linux and macOS on a MacBook can be an engaging challenge. Transitioning from Linux to macOS might require an adjustment period, but harnessing the functionalities within System Preferences on a Mac https://setapp.com/how-to/how-to-use-system-preferences-on-mac allows for customization. Exploring System Preferences settings enables adjustments to suit personal preferences, including network options, security settings, privacy configurations, and appearance customization. Following detailed guides and online tutorials can simplify the transition and help fully leverage the potential of the macOS operating system on a MacBook device.
