Yup, mine’s 5.4.0-42
Running Kubuntu 20.04
Only port open is for the web and I have my firewall set up as per recommendations from Ubuntu.org.
I don’t even know how one would go about setting up sudo to be used by anyone but it’s not set up that way with a standard install. I have to give a password anytime I use it to update, install or work on a protected file etc, as is standard.
Love Linux. Boot time is about 15 seconds on my dual boot windows/linux system and shut down time for Linux is less than 5 seconds. That’s running Plasma desktop which is one of the heavier ones and running an 8 year old Thinkpad. I can shut down 3 browsers, two email clients and a couple of other programs and still, less than 5 second shutdown time. Try that on windows. Walked by my son yesterday and glanced at his windows 10 shutting down and doing an update. 10 minutes or so. I’m updating as I type and will not have to do a restart. I haven’t paid for an operating system or program for well over 15 years.
Update is done:)
Yep- love linux update system- it runs very very quickly- Windows updates are horrendously slow- have to reboot after downloading and installing a few updates- the updates are very large- and take forever to download- i find I’m doing several hours of downloads (I do them manually in windows 7) whenever i reformat and reinstall windows 7- and then days figuring out all the os tweaks i need-
Not so with linux- install, update in about 20 minutes or less- and all the os tweaks are done very quickly- I’m back to running in just a few hours- but even quicker IF I’ve done a timeshift backup- (Course i could do that in windows too- but my goodness, the backups take several hours in windows compared to just about 10 minutes in linux- )
Does anyone have a much quicker way to back up windows? I’m using Macrium Reflect, but it’s a few hours to run- (I do have a number of large games on it- but still)- I have read about Aomei backerupper, which a lot of folks seem to like- but found out it’s a chinese company?-
