Linux isnt only for Foss enjoyers. Plus its good to have the linux community on reddit to help people bring attention to linux. If they move it here it will be even harder to join the community.

Think of /r/linux as a gateway to the world of Foss

a drop in replacement for dnf is exactly what I was hoping for. Having to restart kinda sucks but shouldnt matter since im going to setup the box once and then it be done.

Can you explain layering packages in the ostree? Say if I know that im always going to want something like vencord installed then can I add it to the ostree and it functions as if I used dnf?

Have you done any desktop customisation? Mint can look as slick as KDE with a few tweaks.

How do you install packages on silver blue? Are you stuck with flatpak only or can you get system packages as well?

Lemmy users can subscribe to a community and get tons of posts. I’d have to find 100 people to follow on mastodon to match what a single Lemmy community provides.

How did you find out about Lemmy out of interest?

I look at distros as a base to make changes from. I can make my distro into whatever i want but its going to take varying amounts of effort depending on which distro I start with.

I choose Nobara because i really liked fedora and I wanted a fedora base but with someone(eggy) keeping up with the latest gaming tweaks and adding them. Ive been using it for 2+ years and so far so good.

How come I can’t see the Lemmy comments on your blog?

$1million is that all it costs to buy the president of the united states. Jeez

“What can we do to improve society, I know I’ll watch some dystopian SciFi for ideas” - the UK government probably

I enjoyed the video but it felt like this was a great hit on a feeling many have and chance present them with legitimate solutions and actually convert people away from an unhealthy relationship with tech.

Where are you finding hardware acceleration to be bad?

Got me good

I’m pretty sure tuxedo support should be able to cover this for you. Its one of the bonuses of buying a Linux laptop.

Is there a guideline on Lemmy why we let the tankies be part of this

It depends on your instance. There are 3 main tankie instances. Hexbear, Lemmygrad and lemmy.ml my instance blocks the first two but allows the last. This is because ML users are generally not obnoxious and keep their politics within their instances while the other two run wild all over other instances. Personally I dont feel like ML users are that bad. There is right wing lemmy instances but Majority of the instances de federated from them over their disgusting views. I think lemmy does a good job and has the infrastructure in place to promote a healthy range of political views.

Whats the complaint? Which community did you post this to? If it was posted to a community on lemmy.ml then its fair for them to remove the post, its their instance and they dont care about these posts. If this was reddit you’d have no where else to go. At least with Lemmy you can post to a community on a sane instance.

Lemmy ML dont like the post because they are in favor of the government snatching people off the street without due process.

If someone exploits a service on the machine they can then connect outside that machine on any port. Ufw would prevent this. The router firewall would also likely prevent this unless they used an open port of the router or upnp was enabled.

Disclaimer, I’m not a network professional im only learning. But you dont need ufw since your router firewall should be able to filter majority of the traffic. But in security there is a concept of layers. You want your router firewall then your device firewall to provide multiple layers incase something slips through one layer.

So to give a simple answer, it depends how secure you want your network to be. Personally I think UFW is easy so you may as well set it up. 5sec of config might stop a hacker traversing your network hoping from device to device.

this video is really well done. Its so casual compared with the nerdiness of most windows -> linux videos. Also does anyone know what that mic is? Also I love how smooth Peertube is. The compression and loading time is such a noticeable improvement.
