@tonyshowoff said in Linux: Zip and 7Zip:

Sorry if this was mentioned but I didn't see it directly mentioned for clarity:

If your compression is unavailable directly in tar (-J being essentially 7zip, my favourite), you can tar it first (without compression) and then compress the tar, this maintains both Unix metadata and also gives the benefit.

Also, if you compress something already compressed you won't get the best benefit, at least not when it comes to using something as powerful as LZMA/7zip.

I believe that that is mentioned in the tar article.

It doesn't update as "new" when I just update the list. Only if I comment on the thread.

Who knows, everyone is pretty confused by this one.

I suppose it's less of an issue as well, since Linux Distros are free, you just have another VM running the other software.
Windows, you'd have the Windows tax.

Exactly. A VM or a container or an application jail. Lots of options for mediation if you want the conflicting packages.

Thanks!

the OpenWRT project has been around for a long time, I even used it for a bit on an older router of mine.

I was very upset with the poor / old documentation around there and quickly dropped it. Maybe this will help to fix those issues. Hopefully the project won't up and vanish.

With renewed vigor they might pull this back around.

I hope for the best.

The second picture reminds me of Apple OS X by a lot.

Yeah, the floating middle menu bar has been copied a lot. I'm not sure if the overall design started with OSX or KDE. KDE definitely had it a really long time ago. The super sized icons, though, is definitely all OSX.

Did you check the repos before calling me an ass or taking the word of some random person on a forum? I don't think so. You are so insistent that this is my fault and wanting to call me names that you are blindly willing to assume anything. Bottom line.... one official spokesperson for the company responded that the issue should not exist after asked directly if it was fixed. A random person on another forum made a comment about something that doesn't exist and you took their word for it as a reason to badger me.

Here are the full contents of the repo for those interested.

So where is the PHP7 package that you are berating me about? Please provide me the link as I cannot find it.

I think that the YUM repo adding system is even easier than the PPAs.

I used ChaletOS and it was very intuitive, very much an XP like feel or Windows 7 which was the goal.

Very good OS for basic computer users.

Hmmm, if he cares so much about security he should disable the Universe repository, it's full of security holes. Essentially, installing anything from there is an exercise in installing a backdoor.

Of course, there's not much choice, you want that software to be available. Though choice 😉
