I finally nuked windows

I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I...

Feels good to ditch Windows don’t it?

A quick scan through the services in Yast firewall revealed that there is a sane service too. Is that enabled?

Is mdns allowed?

Normally you’d just run sudo apt install … but in this case you are adding a new repository so you have to follow the extra steps of adding the signing key and so on first.

if Linux requires users to understand how to do things manually in the terminal

It doesn’t require it but it is often easier. It’s also alien when you’re new.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

It’s not about someone sniffing your passwords, it’s about reducing your attack surface. If you use su then the entire session has root privileges and any piece of software you run could do system level damage if it has a bug. Using sudo limits the privilege escalation to just one command.

I recently found out it was Nvidia’s fault for not following the standard every one else agreed on.

MyNameIsRichard,

I agree with everything you say but it’s there for those who are interested.
