      Friend of ours (who is already planning to be at MangoCon) sitting at Atmosphere at the Burj Khalifa this morning. He's an AWS architect.

        Oh Wow... I wonder what happens if I "Book a Demo" and act serious?

        OMG, you should. I can tell you all about the demo so you can tell me if it has changed or if they ever really expose anything.

        What's funny, is that they do so much to "shield" you from ever seeing the real thing, that we ended being confused and thought that the GUI that they kept showing was the product. But we did some research and the GUI that they show, as the ONLY thing that they show, is actually Guacamole. That's how we originally found Guacamole!

              "Jentu is “inverted VDI”"

              So it's a an Inverted Pyramid of Doom, but with the incorrect definition?

                "Prevent ransomware/malware by minimizing attach surfaces on your endpoints"

                I think you mean attack surfaces. . .

                  "System drive is Read Only"

                  So I guess we're never getting any updates, security fixes or bug patches eh?

                        Yeah... they have no idea what any of what they say means. They just spout gibberish.

                        They had never heard of virtualization or VDI when we talked to them, either. Like, they were trying to do things that were already done and had never even researched the market to know what was there.

                          The funniest stuff was their sales pitch... "solve the problem of expensive downtime and complexity from failed destop hard drives." Um... that's not a problem anyone that I know has!

                            LOL. What they do is boot everyone from a single ISO sitting on a SAN.

                                  Girlfriend agreed to try Linux 😄 So after I copy some data (and see if this hard drive is reporting bad sectors), her freedom begins.

                                      Going to use Linux Mint Cinnamon. I like Fedora, but I'm not sure that's the best choice for a newbie.

                                        Deepin Linux is another one she could try too.

                                          Does Mint make it easier? Having used both, I like Fedora Cinnamon over Mint for a newbie using Cinnamon. Mint is decent, but I don't think quite as straightforward.
