I really feel sorry for those locked in to that OS, every day it seems there is a new problem with their security, and maybe MS should break backwards compatibility and fix that shit. While they are at it they can scrap the other crap added too, no one in their right mind will willingly use an OS that spies on them regardless if it helps MS see why things break.
Anyway, it's not my problem I've been MS free for years
PCLinuxOS version of uninstall, open synaptic, enter root password (we don't use sudo) search for task-pulseaudio-remove and click apply/apply, reboot done:P seriously though this malware is crap, first only a moron installs outside of the repository, then you don't know if the deb/rpm matches the system in any way.. usually mic is muted even on a working system until needed, I could go on:D This is a none issue. Hey Ubuntu users, please get rid of sudo, it's inherently weak in the way *buntu uses it, same password for user as for root? seriously, change that shit.

and PCLinuxOS:P seriously I'm expecting for the new kernel to be in testing really soon, and I'll test it on my machines (17 of em) and do my remaster if it doesn't throw up any show stoppers, I do expect Nvidia and Ati closed source drivers to bork until patches are available and I am looking forward to the new features such as 3D in VMs. No need to compile if your old kernel is working well, just wait until it hits the repository of your favourite distribution and simply apt -get, whatever package manager it in:) keeping the old one installed until you have tested the new one thoroughly then remove the old.

Then don't use a linux that has systemd:) simple:D seriously there are a few out there from PCLinuxOS to Slackware to Duvian (sp) etc no reason to use what you don't want:)

No Linux or BSD spys on you, at all. I don't know about OSX but I know snow-leopard didn't seem to (only one I used) so spying seems only Google and Microsofts game:)
I won't touch SystemD either, I'm lucky that the main maintainer for the distro I use has no interest in using it at all. If he is forced he may well just close the distro down, then I go to bsd:D
We did complain, but the minority in charge deleted threads and banned anyone that said a word against it, that happened at both Debian and Arch. It was a total fsck up and I'll happily go to bsd before having anything to do with that shit that is systemd and any users that use it deserve it, reboots and all.
1999 wants it's comment back, It's been at least that long since I've had to compile any server software under Linux, so what exactly do you think you need to compile?
Slashdot can we please have an age verification questions in here, anyone under puberty should be blocked from commenting.

You can't get "root" from grub, the best you can do is boot the computer, ffs brain dead people, they should be all shot

Man that's why there are so many Windows server on the net... OH WAIT. It's okay, posting while pissed. I won't hold it against you.
Nope, they are alive again :)

You should put down the spliff before you post, even as anonymous

Because they have lights and in the dark they appear to hover :)
Or get a chimpbox instead http://chimpbox.us/
And no problem getting in at all, with no-script, ABP etc enabled.. then again it's possibly for IP's that are US centric.
I meant to click preview first, I meant possibly no but... ah nuts
no but this does http://chimpbox.pclosusers.com...
I didn't say it did, I was pointing out that complaining to $DISTRO is a futile thing to do, I didn't mention the guy what so ever.
