Admin 2 Login in as user

Suggestions


While what you're saying is valid, there is something about being able to login as the actual user to check out an issue. I've had instances on IPB where I had to login as the actual user so that I could determine that their settings were wrong which was giving them an error.

I can be very frustrating if an admin is trying to troubleshoot an issue, going back and forth with a user about an issue, with a user who might not be able to communicate the actual issue. It's a lot easier just to login as the user, take a look around, and solve the problem versus 10 support tickets, emails, and a large amount of time trying to figure out what exactly is happening with the users account.

Admin 2 Login in as user

Suggestions

What @developer-networks is suggesting is something which is standard in Invision Power Board. In the admin area I can click on a button and login as a user. I will admit, it has been useful in the past to assume a user level to see what the user is experiencing.

@michael one of the biggest things missing from Linux is Adobe. There are some alternatives, but the Adobe Creative Suite is still king by a wide margin. There is one thread on the Adobe forums about Linux and it's very long spanning over multiple years. There are some great alternatives on Linux. I'm glad the phpstorm is on Linux, that would've been a deal breaker for me.

A lot more people would move over to Linux if access to the Adobe Creative Suite was available. Not having access to Adobe products is one of my biggest hang-ups about Linux.

I've done it in the past and it's pretty straight forward - as far as installing the software. Hardware mileage will vary depending on what you choose and how old it is. The hackintosh crowd is pretty good with making sure a good portion of hardware is supported, but not every mobo and peripheral is compatible.

I heard some good things about Linux Mint. I'm using Fedora right now and it's quite nice. Waiting to get all the parts delivered for my new system, then I'll really play around with Fedora.

I was also throwing around setting up a Mac via a hackintosh.

I've got a new system and want to move off of Windows. I admit, my Win10 system has been nothing but solid. But I don't like the privacy issues surrounding Microsoft's new version of Windows. I feel like it's a spy machine.

I like Ubuntu and Debian, but I'm in the Centos / RHEL camp with my servers. So, I'm thinking about moving to Fedora. After using Fedora for the last week, I like it.

Mac is another option. I could do a hackintosh and run MacOS on my computer. I use to be in IT and managed a lot of Macs. I'm very familiar with the OS. The thing with Mac is I'm not sure where the company is taking the OS. Seems to be turning into a mobile operating system.

I guess in the end, I want control. Both Mac / Win are corporate, linux "generally" isn't. While I'll take a hit using any flavor of Linux with Adobe, I like the idea of knowing where everything is in the OS. Since I use Centos for my servers, I can find my way around the system and handle issues pretty well.

What are you thoughts? What are your favorite operating systems?

For $35 dollars a month to have access to 100 channels and can stream 3 streams anywhere... that's a deal. $35 is my price for the base package and 2 extra packages. Normal price is $20 ORANGE, $25 BLUE, or $40 for both + extras which are $5 a piece.

Me personally, I never watch the major networks except for Sports. The best programming IMO is the science stuff and docs on the cable channels - I love How it's Made, Modern Marvels, and How it Works to name a few. I also like the old stuff like @nate. TV Land and a few other channels are good for that. I'm also addicted to food and home improvement shows. So, DIY, HGTV, Food Network, Cooking Network, are some of my favorites.

Personal favorites of all shows: Mr. Robot on USA and Rick and Morty on Adult Swim. @brian I highly suggest you watch Mr. Robot if you haven't. It's all about computer hacking. It's a crazy show. Rick and Morty - this is coming from a DIE HARD Simpsons fan who's been watching The Simpsons since day 1 - Rick and Morty is better than the Simpsons. It's the best animated TV show on television.
