boredsquirrel,

There is a minimum amount which is likely the least some people spent on their health. So there is no interpolation I can see.

boredsquirrel,

Yes this is a huge problem. Keeping people healthy instead of mitigating the obvious consequences of their unhealthy life

boredsquirrel,

Actually Australia is pretty high up. High radiation (i.e. skin cancer), I dont expect a way better diet than in the US.

Bullshit Titel

Es geht darum, dass Menschen die ein foto als Beweismittel abspeichern etc. nicht in den Knast gehen

Unsere Polizei ist so dämlich, dass man ohne Beweisbilder nichts erreichen könnte, dieses Gesetz ist Irrsinn

boredsquirrel,

Btw dont use Google apps if you care about privacy

  1. No, Nobara is a random remix of mutable/traditional Fedora. They even remove SELinux and replace it with Apparmor, which I can umderstand but assume is less secure. The better OS imho is bazzite.gg

On Bazzite/Atomic Fedora the base OS is already snapshotted on every update. I dont use multiple drives, but mounting them somewhere in /var like /var/home works

boredsquirrel, (edited )

No, this is not virtualization, it is a bunch of libraries and packages running on your native kernel and hardware

On Fedora you should use Podman for this

boredsquirrel,

No this is the safe approach. Installing a 3rd party devel package may likely break your system

boredsquirrel,

PopOS needs completely different packages though.

They base on Ubuntu LTS but ship newer mesa, kernel and maybe more.

Not sure if every component will be newer, so I would also expect conflicts.

Using an upstream provided container really sounds like a good solution.

boredsquirrel,

Aka /etc/modprobe.d/override.conf

boredsquirrel,

Thats why you have RedHat, SUSE, Canonical etc. Legal entities that offer warranty for that random bundle. Insurance that issues will be fixed.

Because if you are just “a racoon digging for free code” you have nothing to request from anyone.

boredsquirrel,

Did you ever install Windows manually? Often drivers are also missing, just that Windows actually doesnt care and you need to search on some random vendor websites.

Or even build drivers into the install ISO, like with my Thinkpad.

I literally installed Windows on another laptop and just switched the SSDs, as it wouldnt install without the “magic AMD platform drivers”.

boredsquirrel,

And btw nobody recommended Mint here XD please dont

boredsquirrel,

You can just place this file to disable the component entirely.

The getnewstuff needs an overhaul, but not related to this. This is about the naming of global themes.

boredsquirrel,

A “global theme” which is a set of themes, widgets, splash screens, cursors etc.

I dont think the inclusion of code is the problem, but that the bundle had a script for installation that was faulty.

Using [ -e $VARIABLE] && do something with $VARIABLE would have solved it.

boredsquirrel,

This is really great. Windows has something similar, just having a superstable parallel OS is a blunt but working solution.

boredsquirrel, (edited )

True. But then I would use curl cheat.sh/tar

Linux mint or zorin OS for layman beginners who just want everything to work and focuses on stability , privacy , security ? Also what to do if I switched to mint and WiFi stopped working ?

Hey, so I just put this part up first because this is the one I urgently and importantly need answered even tho I wrote that hideous text block first (sorry English isn’t my first language )....

boredsquirrel,

I see your point, but it is not secure at all.

For example Mint has skype from an APT repo. This means users run creepy proprietary Microsoft garbabe. Not as a Flatpak and not on Wayland, meaning it can do whatever it wants, autostart, run in the background, record everything, scan everything.

Dont ask yourself if it works, but how it works.

but there is no too late at this point.

There is, as developing Wayland, Pipewire, xdg-desktop-portal support etc. takes time and testing.

XOrg may be officially maintained, but it is extremely insecure by design and also RedHat is not fixing that.

This is the dead deadline. And just because that is the point when even the last, paid developers will jump off the XOrg ship.

I would call the time toward that point “perfectly working”. It is basically life preservance.

less an issue with atomic desktops

Updates are really stable (dont have much experience with traditional fedora) but you will still get all the new changes that may surprise you.

Ubuntu base is optional. Debian base also works fine

I wouldnt use either. They ship outdated packages which is not a good model.

I think OpenSUSE Slowroll is a reasonable model, ship stuff that comes out, but wait a bit until the Tumbleweed people have tested it.

Fedora is not bleeding edge either, thats what Fedora Rawhide is for.

But using 3 years old outdated packages for basic stuff, like mesa, or the kernel, or… xscreensaver ;D

For sure it is nice for servers that have one purpose, but general desktops, I dont think so.

The biggest problem is that the Distro makes the cut, not the devs. Stability is fine, but if there is no ESR version of a product (like Firefox ESR, Thunderbird ESR, the LTS Kernel etc) you will just freeze packages of random versions.

If you then dont backport fixes, like with xscreensaver, you get these issues.

boredsquirrel,

I also dont like GNOME but their desktop is pretty nice. It is waaay to minimal

  • clipboard history
  • copy addresses
  • links

But many of these are also true for cinnamon.

KDE Plasma has a bit many features, on Kinoite I only use the bare minimum. But currently it works great and only more and more bugfixes will come. I havent had issues in a long time, and really wish that it stays like that.

Their software is powerful, and with great power comes… many bugs.

boredsquirrel, (edited )

I dont know how much it costs to host such a server, 10€ per month?

I mean if you dont even use your software for real work i.e. a big project, how do you test it?

boredsquirrel,

It supports all normal mail servers.

But for sure Protonmail does some fancy encryption, PGP is not nice to use

boredsquirrel,

No there is nothing like that.

boredsquirrel,

Pretty awesome too. Havent used it in a while, even though bought premium, because the interface was too cluttered.
