Running Linux inside of docker on Windows is still geeky.

Only if you’re doing it on a virtual machine hosted on OS/2.

I still wish I could virtualize OS/2 in kvm… good old days of warp 3 and 4.0. Very stable for a BBS, with a Linux networked server next to it. (In '95)

This was my dad. He’s used Linux since 1998. Needless to say I have always run Fedora.

No, he’s gone back on himself and runs Linux in a VM on a Windows work laptop now. I don’t understand it

The role is reversed now but i am guessing they didn’t allow linux so that’s the only way for him to use it?

No kids here, but running Linux since '95 (Debian since '96). My wife runs Linux as well, since the previous laptop was bought in '11. (As long as it runs LibreOffice and firefox, she is ok with anything) That laptop got replaced in '22 as the hardware became unstable. (Again running Debian)

On a side note, my small laptop still has the windows 10 that came with it in a quiet corner… from time to time, it’s still needed to rescue Samsung phones from the junk Samsungs dumps on it. (Although, there seems to be an Odin for Linux…) Oh, and to de-drm my ebooks. (I don’t care what the sellers of those books think, I bought the ebook, I read it on the reader I prefer)

Although, there seems to be an Odin for Linux…

But that’s only a theoretical construct and rarely working well. Indeed my Windows WM was booted exactly once in years… to get an old broken S7E running again.

Damn. I wouldn’t even be able to imagine where he would send her if that was a FreeBSD household.

To whatever resembles hell the closest since she’s so inclined to mingle with daemons.

She’s already on windows. What can be closer to hell? MacOS?

It must have been traumatic for that Arch user to discover such rebellion in their child. /s

On a more serious note, if my kids find this post: I hope you know we can talk about closed source software if you’re curious about it - and about maintaining a proper virtual infrastructure to protect the rest of the network from it.

Always use protection

I don’t need protection when using closed source because the closed source has its own protection.

No you see, that’s what boys will tell you to get you to put your pants down and download executables from shady sites. But they’re lying.
