Yeah, but that would require one to use the search.

We can't use Chocolatey, at least the public NuGet repo it uses by default.

But for common apps, I have it 100% automated via Azure DevOps, Intune, and the PSADT.

Another option I'm still looking into for certain apps is using Azure DevOps like above, but then deploying the artifact to a NuGet repo then used by the newer WinGet tool.

@Obsolesce That's an insane table desk lol...

How else do you get 3 laptops to fit on a desk?

@DustinB3403 said in Is Open Source Really So Much More Secure By Nature:

Additionally, if you look at the Oxford dictionary definition for a "Desktop computer" it clearly cares not about what the components are inside of the system, so long as the intended use is: "a computer suitable for use at an ordinary desk."

Which a RPi very clearly falls into that category since it's not by design a tablet, cellphone etc.

Right now, I have 3 laptops on my desktop...

Yes, you guessed right, my desk has to be this big:

So what the fuck is this about?

Scott and NTG uses Linux on all of their desktops and laptops, so he is desperately trying to say the entire market reflects what he does in his world.

So, in this source, Laptops seem to be lumped in with Desktops.

https://chromeunboxed.com/chromebook-market-share-sales-growth-q3-2020

All this data I found combined, for Linux to be such a large part of usage on laptops as you are thinking, just isn't possible. It would have to mean that not only do laptops make up a much larger portion of the desktop/laptop graph, but SO MUCH more so that Linux would have to be on so many of them that it would have to outweigh the others like OS X. But these graphs are showing that they are Windows... so it's simply not possible.

The data includes both laptops and desktops together, and still, Linux is only in the LOW single digits.

I cannot find a single statistic anywhere on the internet that would suggest Linux usage on Laptop is even close to being significant in comparison to ChromeOS/OS X/Windows. Even if you mentally manipulate the data to kind of like mold it into support of your own bias, it still makes no sense to think Linux on laptops is anything other than nil.

It said laptops in the image I included.

I keep looking, but I see PC and desktop, but no laptop.

I did underline it in red in the image.

Linux is number one in laptops

Where are you getting your statistics from?

That doesn't include servers and completely ignores Android. You're proving @scottalanmiller's point here. You have to specify a specific market that Windows is a leader in, specifically PC/Laptop. On the whole of the industry Android/Linux is the leader.

If you read what I quoted, i responded to a very specific piece of what he wrote...

Then I linked some stats to show that specific text of his I quoted was wrong, and then asked where he got his info, because I can't find anything to show otherwise of that specific thing I quoted.

Pay attention. Context matters. The quotes help with that.

Yep, you're right missed the quote.

This is great. I see too often people not acknowledging a mistake they make & the discussion ends up a turd fight.
Well done Mr @coliver.

But he wasn't wrong. Even if he missed the quote, because @Obsolesce didn't pay attention the context and did exactly the thing that he was accusing @coliver of having done.

The assumption here is that I said laptops, but didn't mean it. But that @Obsolesce said desktops and did mean it. That his context matters, and mine doesn't.

But he didn't just quote me, he said to check the quote. If you check the quote, it doesn't match what he was responding with.

It said laptops in the image I included.

You still provided nothing to show anything different.

I will wait for your source but won't hold my breath. On the other hand, there are plenty of sources disproving your laptop theory.

@scottalanmiller said in Is Open Source Really So Much More Secure By Nature:

I said laptops

Show me.

@scottalanmiller show me where you found that Linux is on more Laptops than Windows.

When all I can find is the opposite. That Windows dominates on both laptop and desktops.

What I found shows Windows dominates the laptop market.

You have provided nothing other than a baseless and incorrect statement until you can show me otherwise.
