corship , in Which Desktop / Window Manager is most secure?

You really should press Ctrl+alt+f3 on your lock screen and get your mind blown.

Pantherina OP ,

That leaves the desktop running in a parallel session

corship , (edited )

I think you missed the point. Switch the tty to realize your de is irrelevant in regards to security, because you don’t even need one…

Pantherina OP ,

Wait until you want to watch a video, look at a photo, play a game or view a PDF lol

@musicmatze@lemmy.ml avatar

You can do all these things on a framebuffer. Ok, maybe the game thing is a bit of a hassle, but the other stuff is totally doable.

corship ,

What the duck has this to do with anything.

The entire point is that your DE has NO security features at all, those come ALL from the underlying system such as PAM for example, managing the authentication and such.

These stupid strawmans “huhr dur watch a video”

Besides that I’ll just answer the straw man argument anyway because it’s even stupid if you take it seriously YES YOU CAN ACTUALLY LAUNCH GUI (such as a game) DIRECTLY FROM TTY.

And I quote

LoL

Pantherina OP ,

Learned something, thanks

sibloure ,

I would love to only use the computer in tty but would be hard to edit images in GIMP. Or do you still launch GUI apps directly from tty? Most websites are an abomination viewed through lynx or similar.

sibloure ,

Sorry I don’t understand what this means. I am not a computer whiz but just like the simplicity of typing things versus navigating menus.

possiblylinux127 , in How to increase max memory speed in CoreCTRL

Chances are the answer lies in your firmware

skilltheamps , in Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives

There’s softmaker office, it’s from a german company: www.softmaker.com/en/products/softmaker-office

testman , in enough said.

Is there any collection of such inspirational / wisdom quotes?
If not, then one should be started.
And this quote should be added to it.

I expected the classic “be the change that you wabt to see in the world”, but despite being similar, this one is very good as well.

ElNuevo , in Best CPU and GPU monitoring app
@ElNuevo@lemmy.lemist.de avatar

I like ksysguard, comes with basic system monitoring screens and is very configurable.

Solumbran , in Mnemonics for Yay and Pacman commands

I just use pamac. Almost never have to use pacman directly, except if somehow something broke with pamac, which is rare.

virtualbriefcase , in Arch on semi-critical pc? (Also EndeavourOS vs raw Arch?)

If you have the time + know how to keep up with Arch, and want the latest packages or need the latest drivers, then go for it.

If you only want an Arch install experience, then fire up a virtual machine and stick with Endeavor or switch to a stable release like Debian on bare metal.

But most importantly, if it brings you value (in productivity or experience) then whatever you decide isn’t a stupid decision.

01189998819991197253 , in GIMP 3.0 finally has a release schedule
@01189998819991197253@infosec.pub avatar

I really like the current UI. I guess I’ll learn to like the new UI, considering the improvements that will come with it.

m3t00 , in Based KDE 🗿
@m3t00@midwest.social avatar

working from home has loosened ms grip on corporate desktop counts. some brilliant bean counter will save them a ton of money after they write off the downtown office space and offer everyone the cost of a micrsoft seat license. I’d guess it’s around $100/seat but I’ve been out many years. The shitty companies will just pocket the savings.

Lodra , in kando: 🥧 The Cross-Platform Pie Menu.
@Lodra@programming.dev avatar

Has anyone here tried Kando yet? Looks like a very nice tool. How does it compare to typical keyboard shortcuts?

Chewy7324 OP ,

This project is currently in a very early stage of development. Kando is not yet a functional menu but rather a prototype which demonstrates the feasibility of the concept.

Since Kando is still in early development, it might be a good idea to look at the Gnome Extension Fly-Pie. It’s from the same developer and it looks like Kando will be similar.

AceFuzzLord , in Selecting the New Face of openSUSE is Underway

The survey was absolute hell on mobile until I actually read the part where it says you can just double click. Made it so much easier. I personally chose the more intricate designs as my favorite and less intricate and more simplified designs as my least favorite. Detailed and intricate designs or nothing for me.

Floey , in Selecting the New Face of openSUSE is Underway

The center bottom one looks like the sicp snake.

moonburster , in But Windows 11 is so good!!11!1!

After buying a steam deck and seeing how good everything worked I just yeeted my entire bootdrive. Never looked back ever again (Then again I still own a surfacebook so it’s not fully commiting)

GustavoM , in Security advise collection - what do you recommend?
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

Eh, I don’t have anything “complex” to add, other than buying a raspberry pi and using it as a DNS sinkhole/recursive dns under docker/ipvlan network, and then “hiding” it behind a macvlan connection + ufw. Been doing this over several years and never had any problems with it. You can even use it as a music player of sorts by configuring a hotkey to bring up mpv with a playlist, and another one to close it. Oh, and even as a “live stream player 24/7” if you are into it.
