  • Don’t know how to help you with those vdi problems, but here is an out of the box thinking: tell him to ask a neighbor.

    I have a similar situation so i got a hetzner VM and set up wireguard connections from both ends, so that vm serves as a hub/router. Then you can just ssh into the machine via vpn and do an update, upgrade or whatever.

    If you stick with Ubuntu lts, it will require very little maintenance.

















  • Why would they put effort into changing something which works for them with the risk of breaking things?

    The sentiment is similar to climate change deniers. Why would we stop with fossil fuels when they work, people have jobs, etc. And why would we risk breaking the power grid?

    And as long as that works for them, they won’t actively change anything.

    Wayland on gnome and Ubuntu is already the default. It seems to me you have to actively change the default to x.

    It would be interesting to see in which scenario x is better than wayland. The only reason I can think of is an (old) Nvidia card. With new Nvidia’s I guess the statement would otherwise be ‘i will not use it until they fix Wayland’
