it's a well known and accepted method of reducing your server load. this is why compression plugins for wordpress exist to compress images on the fly during upload, and conversion to webp for example is another commonly used implementation. you should also be aware that edge caching images means that the same image is presented every time if it uses the same filename - even if you *want* to actually change that image. you'd need to clear the cf cache completely to resolve that, then by default, it'll poll your server again for that image meaning \"will never hit the server again\" is factually ***incorrect***.\n\n\nin summation\n\n\n\n\n\n* there is nothing you can do to reduce unused js, unlesss you are willing to remove extensions. this was not discussed, therefore, it's not an option.\n* deliver images in next-gen formats -

people would argue you don’t need antivirus when running ubuntu, is that correct?\n> \n> \n\n\ninteresting question. in fact, there’s no right or wrong answer here when it comes to linux. in most cases, viruses (the dying breed they are - today’s most prevalent attacks are in the form of malware and ransomware) are designed to run under a windows environment. the reason for this is that the windows ecosystem is by far the largest and most popular with (at one point) over 90% of households and businesses alike running it. in most cases, the figure is still high but windows usage has dropped somewhat thanks to mac, chromebook, linux (in various flavours). owing to the uptake of linux from individuals and businesses, there does in fact exist a small handful of malware tools designed to infect a linux kernel (the heart of the operating system).\n\n\nthese tools are mostly known as “root kits”. the linux subsystem has for years adopted the concept of “sudo” (a fake elevator to run with root permissions under a standard account), which made it much harder for root kits to run unless they were granted explicit permission from the user. this made remote attacks (drive by) harder to execute, as the subsystem would simply reject the request.\n\n\nhowever, with the onset of malware that can use the bios or uefi (the central core of the system - without this, the system won’t start at all as this contains a simple set of instructions that tell the computer where to find key resources such as memory, disks, etc, and which order they should be started in) to inject the operating system at startup with malicious code that runs silently in the background invisible to the user, the prospect for serious damage is exacerbated to the point where the operating system itself becomes irrelevant.\n\n\nit’s possible to run linux with absolutely no protection whatsoever. what makes malicious attacks more difficult on a linux system is the monolithic kernel (in the sense that the kernel itself is compiled for the hardware in use rather then the general one provided by windows) so the available attack vectors are unique per instance because of this.\n\n\nthis means that there is no “one size fits all” attack vectors for linux, so it is inherently more secure than windows. however, the bottom line here is that there is no defence weaker than users themselves. you can have every bit of protection there is, but if a user decides they want to click that link for a free apple iphone, all of that security is effectively bypassed.\n\n\nlong explanation, but hopefully provides detail.\n\n ", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[phenomlab](https://metabullet.com/d/93/13) i used windows on my old desktop for a long time, until it broke and refused to boot one time. after spending about a week trying to reinstall it in different ways, i gave up, tried linux, and realized i really liked it. having control over my devices is important to me, plus i started using the command line much more, which is awesome!\n\n\nwindows seems to have an edge in enterprise, and is way ahead in gaming, but in the long term, i hope to see linux continue to gain prominence. perhaps eventually, we might finally see the year of the linux desktop?\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "\n> [askvortsov](https://metabullet.com/d/93/17) and is way ahead in gaming\n> \n> \n\n\nwith stadia anyone can game 😁\n\n ", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "\n> [askvortsov](https://metabullet.com/d/93/17) having control over my devices is important to me, plus i started using the command line much more, which is awesome!\n> \n> \n\n\noh yes !! i’m a cli junkie -

albeit, an expensive “dress” (if you will) and that has become a proprietary locked kernel over the years, and not shared publicly. microsoft could adopt the same principle, but this would require a huge shift in terms of engineering at their end, and would effectively spell the end of their own lines in my view - essentially, the death knell for their own product range.\n\n\nas a final point, one huge money spinner for microsoft is licensing. if their products used a linux kernel, they’d see a huge drop in revenue as they wouldn’t be able to charge what they do for a product that is effectively classed as open source. apple have worked around this by effectively forking the entire bsd kernel and making it their own over the years. it’s a huge investment, and not a direction i’d see a dominant market player like microsoft adopting. as a final point, think of all the hardware, drivers, etc that would need to be re-written -

at heart, i’m a true linux nut. i’ve worked my way through various flavours of linux before finally settling on kde neon for the long term.\n\n\ni used to be an ubuntu user, back in the days when gnome 2 was the desktop of choice. like others, i ran a mile when gnome 3 came out and also strongly disliked the unity interface from canonical. i played around with mate which was the desktop fork of gnome 2 but never really endeared to it, so began looking at xfce as a potential replacement. it was then i discovered something of a fortune for thunar as the file manager, and longed for the heady days of nautilus.\n\n\nthen, the linux mint team announced cinnamon - a new desktop that aimed to bring the key functionality that gnome 2 offered. i was intrigued, and stuck with this for several releases before i realised i wanted a bit more. i read an article about kde and started first with plasma - the desktop edition itself overlaying ubuntu rather than kubuntu as i didn’t want the canonical touch but wanted to experience kde for it’s true self.\n\n\ni finally settled on kde neon around 6 months ago, and absolutely love the way it works, it’s speed, and the overall eye candy that comes with it.\n\n\nhave you considered running windows as a virtual machine to satisfy your gaming needs ? i totally understand the investment side and not wanting to have to do it all again.\n\n ", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "[phenomlab](https://metabullet.com/d/93/24) thank you. i will have to give kde neon a try. i am looking forward to that. i have thought about running windows in a virtual machine but am afraid of it being slow due to it running on top of another operating system. i think that the video card from the computer doesn’t carry over into the virtual environment. i could be wrong on that. i haven’t tested it out. one of the games that i play is elder scrolls online. i have gotten it to work a little bit and it actually performs better on linux than on windows, but during my tweaking i usually end up breaking linux and messing up both operating systems. then have to start over. all of these games are made for mac and i wish they could take that code and just go one step further and make these games to work on linux.\n\n\ni have been tossing around the idea of doing a dual boot scenario again. then just use windows for games and use linux for everything else. then the wife can use windows and maybe even slowly get more used to linux.\n\n", "name": "", "is_accepted": false }, { "text": "\n> [madchatthew](https://metabullet.com/d/93/25) afraid of it being slow due to it running on top of another operating system.\n> \n> \n\n\nthis is a possibility of course, but in an ideal world the actual host your are using would have adequate memory and sufficient processor cores to be able to cope. the video and graphical side of things has always been a bit hit and miss in terms of virtualization. most of the opengl and hardware rendering capabilities in virtual environments leaves a lot to be desired, but it’s getting better.\n\n\nin most cases, you’ll see a great improvement in the guest operating system if you install vmware tools (obviously if using a vmware setup) and the virtual box tools if you that product. these will greatly improve most mouse tracking, video, and network performance issues, but aren’t really geared up for gaming -
