hottari,

Would recommend Fedora Silverblue.

hottari,

The sites to be redirected shouldn’t be already pre-selected by the extension. E.g I am logged in to Twitter on my browser and installing this extension will unintentionally redirect me to some instance.

And also, maybe the sites for redirection should be added by the user instead of the extension making assumptions. With libredirect I can click more options and add the site to Chrome’s handler.

hottari,

If anyone came here for the free tip, just use Cloudflare’s free VPN service - WARP instead. They don’t care and you are not required to give them any information to use the service.

hottari,

You are missing the forest for the trees. The question is, did Mauro become a better kernel contributor/programmer?

hottari,

If I can replace a file in your EFI, how hard would it be to sign the same file.

The Distro Wars are good actually.?

If all the seemingly pointless discussions about which distro is better comes from attachment to a spesific distro and if a distro is just a way to interract with linux than all the discussion about witch distro is better etc. fundementally comes from a a place of love and appreciation for Linux as an OS....

hottari,

A distro isn’t just a way to interact with the Linux operating system. It’s a collection of tools that helps you do it. Some tools are just sharper that others. The community just likes debating about this important nuance. It’s not that complicated.

My tools of choice come from the famous blue logo distro.

hottari,

Out of them all, the most famous one is the one I use. Kept the name a bit of a mystery to avoid the resultant argument about it btw.

hottari,

You can setup your Arch with grub menu btrfs snapshots just like NixOS for convenient rollbacks. NixOS has too steep a learning curve, coming from someone who recently tried it and ended up being somewhat disappointed by it. NixOS sounds good on paper but in reality it is a long way from a mature product for desktop or general use.

As you mentioned Arch has AUR which packages just about anything and everything you could ever want in the future. And the Arch Wiki will never be “not relevant” so long as you are using Linux anywhere, the Arch Wiki is a handy reference.

hottari,

Arch breaks all the time. It has to because upstream is usually always changing so breakage is inevitable.

Though a person’s mileage on this may vary (less update frequency, less no of programs etc.), the constant thing about rolling release is that breakages within software releases are to be expected.

hottari,

I use gocryptfs with a GUI wrapper called Vaults. It’s very neat.

hottari,

I had always used Windows for the longest time. I used a certain cloud service and was impressed with how easy it was to manage services with docker. Fast forward a couple of years and I got a small mini-PC with Windows. I tried to install docker on it but Windows back then had no way of using Docker without virtualizing it with Hyper-V, a Pro feature. I thought let me give this another try. I tried to replicate the same setup with NSSM tools. It kinda worked eventually but it was a dirty hack at best and I did not like this solution.

I thought to myself, why would I pay Microsoft to use a feature I can use for free with Linux and get better performance while at it.

Here we are 7-8 years later.

hottari,

The logo.

What Tweak, Program, ... changes a Desktop Environment from unusable to great for you?

I have used Linux on and off for 15 years. I consider myself a casual user and stuck to the mainstream DEs (mostly KDE, XFCE and some Cinnamon). Gnome has been a hurdle for me before and after the big version 40 changes, I couldn’t get my head around how they handled the workspaces and workflow. At some point I I tried out an...

hottari,

Gnome’s window sizing has always looked comical on my display. So I fix it with Orchis gtk compact theme. Also GSconnect is an irreplaceable utility for me.

hottari,

I recently moved from Arch to NixOS. It’s more fun than I thought it would be.

hottari,

I’d wear that. Looks cool.

hottari,

It appears to be possible flathub.org/apps/com.protonvpn.www

Switched to Linux, don't know what to do

Hello everyone, I just installed Linux (I’m new to it), in particular Linux Mint, with dual booted Windows for games. Tinkered with it a bit, loved the way it looked, loved how fast it is, but I really don’t want to stop on one option and stick with it for a while. I want to try new stuff, new distros (that’s how you call...

hottari,

Check out a few videos on how to install Arch Linux. It will cover all your needs and then some.

hottari,

Use whatever software your peers are using, the way they are using them. The importance of software compatibility cannot be overstated.

hottari,

I’ve broken installations many many times. But here’s a recent one that comes to mind.

I was playing around with audit and some file was not responding as I wanted it to. Somehow my pea brain got the great idea to remove all config, uninstall audit then have the new install refresh the configs. Did this straight through the warnings and effectively broke sudo, a dependency of audit. Good thing arch-chroot exists.

hottari,

I’ve done rm -rf / twice on Fedora installs.

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

hottari,

Flatpak for all *possible installs of user apps. But if there’s an app I respect most, it has to be MPV.

hottari,

You can pin the Nvidia driver with flatpak mask appname and update the rest of your apps.

hottari,

Another reason to use VPN/Tor.

hottari,

Piped uses less CPU on client playback and features like dash actually work as opposed to invidious. But I’m glad creating a piped instance on docker is complicated because I like the simplicity of invidious’ UI.

hottari,

You are entitled to your own opinion but it’s because of Google’s content monetization strategies that user-generated videos now include native content ads. Content creators are following the money. I don’t have to agree with them, Google or your nonsense opinion.
