Jumuta,

isn’t ubuntu based on debian stable and so have even older packages?

Jumuta,

I think they would care if they knew the benefits of not having snaps.

There’s little to no advantage in having them, so why have them?

Jumuta,

it was confusing for me when apt install Firefox installed the snap version

Jumuta,

do you mean Kde neon? pretty sure kubuntu has snaps

Jumuta, (edited )

why? Do you mean “like” as in you’d rather have them than not, or that you think they’re a good way to package apps?

Jumuta, (edited )

I like it a lot, and the only issue I have with it is the windows style titlebar

Jumuta, (edited )

probably not, coreboot only really supports old (<7th gen intel) platforms.

here’s a list of working platforms if you’re curious:

Jumuta,

idk if nsfw is allowed on .ml

Jumuta,

why not zram as a safety net?

Jumuta,

helix superiority

Jumuta,

before debian 12 though, it was kinda hard to find the nonfree netinstaller on their site

Jumuta,

should be easy enough to avoid by just not buying computers with that processor

Intel ME / AMD PSP are similar things already on CPUs today, and because pretty much all x86 CPUs have it, it’s very hard to avoid it. They’re basically builtin Intel/AMD spyware and the only way you can get rid of them is by using something like Coreboot, which has very limited availability

Jumuta,

gotta get that t61 rizz

Jumuta,

try booting off a live usb of a Linux distro you are curious about, it’s easy and reversible

Jumuta,

fair enough

Jumuta,

it’s/*

Jumuta,

those ppl will create noise at whatever cost lmao, I bet they’ll start attaching external speakers at some point to compensate for the lack of engine noise

Jumuta, (edited )

btwFS is so good btw, so much btr than Btrfs

I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

Jumuta,
  • helix (vim like text editor)
  • kate (kde text editor)
  • dolphin (kde file manager)
  • supertuxcart (most modern linux game)
Jumuta,

use librewolf if you want privacy that much

Jumuta,

ehhh debatable, mozilla still gets a lot of funding from google so they’re not as independent as you think. A better world wpuld be one where qtwebkit based browsers, chromium based browsers and firefox based browsers have the same market share.

Unfortunately Apple stole qtwebkit and drove it into the grave so there’s little chance of that actually happening :(

I still hold out hope though, and try to use Falkon whenever possible

Jumuta,

because the default Firefox is either more convenient for most normal users or gets them more funding because of corporate sponsors

privacy and convenience is always a tradeoff so you can’t just make firefox really private like librewolf and expect mass adoption

Jumuta,

boring is good for main computer

fun is good for a secondary computer/vm

Jumuta,

libreboot.org/docs/hardware/

also iirc starbook/system76 also does coreboot support

Jumuta,

but just don’t choose Manjaro
