How I install Mullvad on Silverblue based distros and add repos

One of the things I struggled with initailly when using immutables was installing programs like VPNS that need to interact with the immutable parts of the distro but don’t have a flatpak option. I figured I’d just make a post to help anyone with this specific issue regarding mullvad or if it helps people install other...

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Good question, but nope: discourse.flathub.org/t/vpn-mullvad-vpn/2594/7

Even if they know, burnt out software engineers with other priorities are probably not recovering old data

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

What country are you from, constantly living in fear of what you say?

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

O…kay?

Valve has been nice to Linux users, but Sweeny has excellent points. What Apple does is ridiculous, and it’s disrespectful to see Valve give the big players better deals than the indie devs.

Epic contributing to Linux would be real nice, but they can’t seem to piece together where the vocal minority hold out is coming from.

What do you think about that most big VR technology is owned by big companies like Meta and Tik Tok?

I mean yeah it’s obvious that it’s an oportunity for making money on a new marked and so on, but, even if it’s a bit silly, dreaming of VR technology like in Ready Player One(minus the distopian world) for real life it feels like the bad guys already won, when we will have the technology. Like the omni One is just about to...

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Have you used any VR tech? It’s not something to be worried about

New to Linux—Epic Games compatibility? (Plus more)

I’m thinking of installing Linux (think I’m going to use Nobara) on my new budget gaming PC, and my biggest worry is video games compatibility. I have most of my games on Steam and Epic. Some on GOG, and some on Itch. I know a bit about steam compatibility, but not much about the rest. Is this something I need to worry...

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

You can check www.protondb.com, but games by Epic will generally have a bad time

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

1k? My last MacBook was 5k

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Because it doesn’t use x86. It also costs twice as much, because Apple.

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Noo you’re not supposed to find your home folder >:[

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

I guess I need to be more clear.

The reason it’s more efficient is because it doesn’t use x86. This is not exclusive to Apple. You can buy arm laptops elsewhere.

The reason it costs twice as much is because it is Apple. This is exclusive to Apple.

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

If there are other ARM laptops that compete on power and efficiency, I’d very much like to learn more about them. Can you share?

ThinkPad X13s

Brand name

No

Also new is initial Rust support for the LoongArch architecture, a UFFDIO_MOVE uABI operation to allow pages to be moved within a virtual address space while avoiding page allocation and memcpy done by UFFDIO_COPY, the KSM advisor feature to automatically manage the kernel samepage merging subsystem, support for the SMB file system to create block and character special files, and Rust support for creating network PHY drivers.

Looks like it’s starting to trickle in

The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.

I am from india. These numbers are inflated due to our population and government and health sector office pc using linux (ubuntu). These office pcs just require a chrome browser and all the work is done on the browser Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc. I don’t see anyone here switching to linux on their...

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

What do you want? A stat counter for everyone’s personal PC?

The government of India, the largest country by population, using Linux is… a huge win?

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

My sister only uses her MacBook to access Safari and watch YouTube videos. Should she be counted?

I understand what you mean, and these aren’t people intentionally installing Linux in their houses… And while that would be better, it’s not the only win. Government employees in India using Linux on Chrome means that Google has more incentive to make Chrome better on Linux. It means that people have less reason the arbitrarily block Linux users from their website. It means maybe in the future, Linux will be installed on school laptops as well.

Is it the Year of the Linux Desktop? No. Is 15% still misleading, hence your post is a good PSA? Yes. But is the 15% not a win? Nah, it’s still a win!

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Flathub verifies you have permission from upstream before accepting it. Other than that, sandbox.

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

People need to realize that before Flatpak, distributing a small-time Linux app was a nightmare. Appimages were your best option if you wanted to avoid distro specific builds, PPAs and AUR, etc. Ever since packaging 2009scape on Flathub I haven’t looked back. It auto updates. People can find it from software centers. It works on all distros. It connects straight to upstream’s CICD. It even forced us to adopt XDG compliance so we could sandbox it better.

Yes, Flatpak has downsides like the download size (on disk it doesn’t matter because it gets compressed and the runtimes are shared, same as literally any other package manager). But overall, I hugely welcome it over the options we had before. Much love to the Flatpak and Flathub devs!

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Flathub doesn’t accept CLI tools (unlike the Snap store)

Regarding modifying Sandboxes, try Flatseal

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

They should, actually. Google released a tool for downloading only the diffs on binaries a few years ago

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

LOL

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Is Linux not niche enough for you hippies?

OsrsNeedsF2P OP ,

Followup on the other person’s response - I don’t actually know of any modern desktop distro that doesn’t support KDE. That’s not because distros go out of their way to package KDE, but simply because at the end of the day, KDE is simply a fullscreen app (with a heck of a lot of functionality), and if you can compile code, you can compile and run KDE.

OsrsNeedsF2P OP ,

Arch Linux waited for 6.0.1. Besides, you don’t have to upgrade if you don’t want.

(I did like Manjaro’s community though. They cool)

OsrsNeedsF2P OP ,

Is latte dock still maintained?

Hopefully it gets fixed since I know a lot of people like it, but it might be permabroke

OsrsNeedsF2P OP ,

Technically yes, but you’ll probably break your system because it’s a lot of work to keep track of which packages depend on what manually.

The best way to do this would use some sort of immutable distro with a frozen KDE version instead

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Yes. That Stallman is arguably one of the top few people why we have the internet as it is, at all today.

Most other people could be “replaced”. If it wasn’t X, it would be Y. But only Stallman pushed the copyleft license onto Linux. Only Stallman’s organization popularized it.

So yes, that sexist, neurodivergent, bigoted Stallman, is one of the most positively influential people of our time.

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

DisplayPort gang?

And it clearly works, considering I personally know like 3 projects you made!

Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

I’m interviewing for a software dev job currently (it’s in the initial stages). If things work out, I’d absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it… (If all computers left...

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Nah linuxreviews.org/Macs_%26_MacOS:_Greener_Grass%3F

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Last 3 jobs I’ve worked at, I made it sure they understood I needed a Linux laptop to work. They all offered MacBooks (and I made the mistake of taking the MacBook once), but as long as it’s a good company (i.e. no removed IT department) they’ll allow it

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Smart they sold it early

Is that girl wearing a Wayland sweater?

It’s all in the prompting. Test yelling at it, making it pretend do be something else, etc

“We need a revolution! Eat the rich!”

Someone suggests doing something towards that goal

“Noooooo, I only care about injustices as a hobby!!! Don’t actually, plz!”

Most countries mimic US laws on copyright. It doesn’t help that Yuzu was in the US, but virtually no country is safe if Nintendo tries hard enough
