noisypine, in What are people daily driving these days?

NixOS and Debian. Probably just NixOS in the near future.

endhits, in what caused you to get into Linux?

Saw what windows 11 was going to be like and figured I should bail and learn Linux before I had to move over. Been just under 2 years on Linux. Don’t regret my decision.

init,

Same. I heard MS was checking out the possibility of adding advertising in the file explorer. I don’t know the veracity of the reports or where I saw them, but it spooked me enough that I knew I needed to get started familiarizing myself with something else before I had no options.

I’ll never go back. Ever.

I know that this is probably some close-sourced shenanigans, but can I push the limits of brightness below what GNOME sets? In Windows, I could go as low as I could, but this isn’t possible in GNOME anymore.

Typically their is some sort of low-level knob in /sys (try find /sys | grep backlight) which can be used to set it to any value. Be careful playing around though because 0 is often completely off and it can be hard to set it back. (Although a reboot should fix it if nothing tries to be clever and preserve it at shutdown.)

abuttandahalf,

With my code, the lowest brightness setting should be closer to the minimum supported by the screen. There are some limitations with this because some screens become flickery at very low brightness levels. You might be able to circumvent the lower limit by using something other than the gnome settings daemon to set the brightness.

sexual_tomato, in what caused you to get into Linux?

I built a computer and didn’t have high speed Internet about 18 years ago. Couldn’t get Windows activated so a friend gave me a (Debian?) CD so I could get something going. Been keeping old machines alive with it ever since.

Drito, in what caused you to get into Linux?

My OS, shipped with the PC, became slow.

Abnorc, in what caused you to get into Linux?

My interest started in my physics classes. They teach you the basics of Linux since it gets used for simulations and solving other math problems as well. I’m not 100% sure why, but i remember not even finding windows versions of some software that we used. I think it’s connected to supercomputers almost exclusively running Linux, and I had a couple of professors that use them.

Thank you.

I hate that most Linux brightness controls assume that humans perceive brightness linearly for some reason. I don’t want a flash bang in dark surroundings when I forget to use the slider. I don’t want to press my brightness up key a thousand times or resort to the slider in bright surroundings.

So yes, please merge this.

abuttandahalf,

You get it. That’s exactly what made me write this MR.

Windows 9x was really, really unstable. I couldn’t believe how much more stable and convenient (packages managers) this free OS created by volunteers was. And around 2000, once I started building machines with Linux support in mind it’s been all I run. I’d say I’m obsessed.

pg_jglr,

Exactly the same story for me, the free Linux cost didn’t hurt either.

onlinepersona,

Why not move to NixOS?

jntesteves, in How to work with selinux and podman?
@jntesteves@lemmy.world avatar

SELinux in Podman works pretty much the same way it works on Docker, so if you are having problems with Podman, you should also be having problems with Docker, so I don’t see how that’s impeding your migration. You need to be more specific about the issues you’re having to get a good answer.

The post by Chris Smart you linked on your comment below is a good start, but everything there also applies to Docker, so if you still didn’t know those basics, you shouldn’t be able to use Docker on Fedora either.

About your question of how to set it up, use-case is an important consideration, there is no generic answer that covers all use-cases. I’ve even found out that for some use-cases (like ad-hoc containers), disabling SELinux within the container (with –security-opt=label=disable) seems to be the most secure option. That’s what I’ve done in contr (see this commit message). I’ve been meaning to blog about that, but never did because I’m in the process of migrating my blog but too lazy to finish it.

I’ve put a lot of links about SELinux in containers in this issue.

GravitySpoiled,

Thx for your answer, I found the workflow for podman. With a new distro came the change to selinux and podman which is why I had no experience with docker and selinux either. Now, it works as expected. Thx!
