Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

In a nutshell, Ubluntu is trying to take user control off its users. And the users are mad because of it.

And yes, I’m talking about snap.

Just moved to Linux: a follow up

I recently made a post discussing my move to Linux on Fedora, and it’s been going great. But today I think I have now become truly part of this community. I ran a command that borked my bootloader and had to do a fresh install. Learned my lesson with modifying the bootloader without first doing thorough investigation lol....

Trial-and-error is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?

t. Had to reinstall GNU/Linux several times through the course of months while trying new stuff and/or trying to improve the current ones.

Does it improve performance in any way? Seems a bit obvious, but I’ll ask anyways for the sake of curiosity.

“You forgot to say Please daddy.”

How many of you run a Linux phone (Pine64, Librem etc) as your daily driver?

I was going through Pine64’s page again after I found the latest KDE announcement. With that said, I seem to see a lot of issues with firmware on the Pine, whilst the Librem is just plain out of budget for me. Was interested in how many people here run a Linux mobile as a daily driver, and how has your experience been?...

Does a single board computer counts as a phone? Then a Orange pi zero 3. (Not like theres anything else to do other than read/lurk online communities, code and the occasional cloud gaming nowadays, so eh.)

@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Eh, “it just werks” just like Xorg – don’t know why folks still make such fuzz regarding this subject.

t. Managed to install Sway on a single board computer with zero Linux support – Orange pi zero 3.

Then do it? It’s a free operating system – just download whatever distro pleases you, give it a spin, see what happens.

It’s fun and games… until you get lots of “…just like X command?” commentaries from randoms. Until you get sick of such and decide to do something non-productive instead. Unless there is money included in the former.

t. Been there, done that.

Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like...

Openshot for me. It’s very lightweight and hassle-free.

I too can’t wait to compile the kernel (and its modules) on cargo.

If that means an AI-assistant of sorts (like “that OS name that cannot be spoketh”) I’m game.

Will that make some users freak out and make it sound like its doomsday, even if they implement a on/off toggle to the AI assistant? Probably.

    Day 6/9 of Lemmy Lecember

    Today I was passive-aggressive attacked by some users for sharing my work. The plebbit feeling is real.

    Did you tried running it as another user? I’ve set binary ownership via chmod to the non-root user in the container.

    I also cried internally when I saw Doom (“classic”) running at my Linux distro for the first time.

    Just you wait until you find out you can (almost) break the OS yet still make it work.

    GustavoM,
    @GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

    I won’t spoil the whole thing for you, but a couple system-related things can be “masked” (i.e disabled) ending up in a half-functional system (i.e lots of error messages, loading times increased due to it but still functional.).

    “Gee, folks are hating up on snapd! Hah, I know! Let’s make our own .deb and --”

    “…but .deb files does not provide isolation or any other sandboxing-related feature.”

    “OH, SHUT UP NERD!”

    Recommend security-first basic Linux Apps! (github.com)

    As part of the effort of making a “Chromebook-like” secure, autoupdating, cloud-native, “unbreakable” (but still free and privacy-friendly) Distro, I would like some of your recommendations on especially secure software, that could replace common ones like File managers, Archive Managers, PDF reader, Image viewer etc....

    firejail

    ufw

    And docker if you are paranoid. (You can completely shut off the network of specific commands – can’t get any better (and safer) than that!).

    Imagine you are having a great time with someone of the opposite sex and suddenly s/he starts to eat you.

    Literally.

    How exactly "secure" is a container with all capabilities dropped, distroless, with a custom rootfs directory, a static, single binary with chmod set at 100 and file ownership pointed to non-root u...

    ser*, and said non-root user being “nonexistant” (i.e set via ENV)? Can such container -STILL- be exploited/breached through malicious means? Forgot to mention that its a DOCKER container @ title, but there you have it. Just curious....

    Fair enough. Thank you for your input.

    …and also, good ol’ baby duck syndrome.

    Even then, gaming was 100% doable/acceptable at that time. Even not (just) a year back, but a COUPLE years back.
