God damn, you should probably try to sue for that torture!

htop, distrobox and in some cases Flatpak!

Edit: after reading the comments I want to add curl and git, seriously, why aren’t those a default?!

Damn, I am quite sure it’s in Debians build-essentials!

Definitely not limited to RHEL!

I will finally be able to replace fucking SMS with a few people that simply won’t switch to Signal, I simply won’t use Whatsapp and that did cause some security issues till now!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

I have a similar issue but I am able to use SMS for those few people, most of them are relatively easy to convince of Singla in my experience, it’s as easy as it gets, basically whatsapp in secure!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Whatsapp encrypts top and it’s your choice to write with someone on Whatsapp… 🤦

@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

They got a exception because npbody uses that insecure garbage here, everyone uses Whatsapp tho so this makes a lot of sense!

older laptop distro recommendarion

Recently I’ve gave up Windows for Linux and installed Ubuntu with KDE Plasma desktop on my pc and laptop from 2007. It’s an i7 Intel processor with 8gb ddr ram so I thought it would be fine, but it seems quite sluggish. What distro could I use that would be faster and still fully functional? Thanks for your help in advance.

@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

KDE should run fine on those specs, I would try to replace the hard drive, I had one of those slow down a Laptop to a point where I almost threw it away but with a new one everything worked fine again. If it doesn’t I would say as a beginner Linux Mint with ether XFCE or Mate should be a great choice but I doubt you need it with those specs tbh!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

I don’t think it’s a SSD vs HDD situation (both should work perfectly fine with any DE) but rather a case of old and dieing HDD, that’s at least what caused my system to fuck up two years ago or somethimg like that. There are systems that work better on far slower than HDD (today only “achived” by dieing HDDs) speed tho so I could imagine that improving the situation, just don’t sotre important stuff on that till you got a new drive!

Definitely AMD, they give people enough data to build open source drivers and you will simply have better support and integration with those. It’s not like Nvidia drivers are awful or anything but they just cause annoyances and especially with new technologies like Wayland (Display server protocol that most of Linux is about to adopt) they can be a pain. AMD GPUs work great on Linux, have far better pricing rn and they have no issues with Windows ether, even if you used Windows more I would recommend AMD rn for the pricing alone!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

That’s because you are on XFCE and they haven’t adopted Wayland yet, NVidia drivers sadly really struggle with that but it’s slowly getting better!

I haven’t done it myself but I own a Pinephone (Linux phone) and that completely isolates the modem to prevent closed source code on the main OS and apparently that runns Linux, not sure if it counts because it’s technically Linux already but someone hosted his blog on that and wrote about it!

Lucky you, those idiots are fucking everywhere!

I bet the dev gets a lot of angry comments over that, a absolute hero!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Yea, it’s not the hardest porting effort ever because GJS isn’t that far from normal JS but it’s universal breakage because some syntax will change with that move!

Is there a proper way to use several DE's on one distro or is it not advised?

I have read many conflicting things, like always. Just wondering if there’s a safe way to use several DE’s on one distro without messing up my damn computer lol I’ve tried it several times and it always messed things up. I’m currently brand new to fedora workstation 38 too btw. Thanks alot

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

It can mess with configs, themes and some other annoying stuff so I never did it again but there is no big risk or anything, it’s just a little tedious to fix small things afterwards!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

There are just too many terms, just give enough context and people will understand it regardless tho!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

If you create multiple user accounts you can contain the user specific parts for those accounts if I am not wrong, certain thing will probably still be a little messy but I only tried it on the same account before and never did again, that could pribably help a little!

I actually like rounded corners but I wouldn’t ever touch Edge.

I would rather use Googles search engine than put up with majore dissatvantages in terms of speed and performance to be able to use Microsofts, never forget how they treated the internet before!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Sorry, I mean browser engine. True, it certainly wanst the worse and a huge step up from IE and now it’s just another blink shell but I wouldn’t touch a Microsoft engine even if Google had 100% marketshare!

Appimage literally requires more storage for the apps because it dublicates all dependencies so in terms of storage flatpak and dnaps win by FAR, there are valid reasons to criticize all three but your comment is a sad joke!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Flatpaks aren’t very relevant for servers if I am not wrong but Canonical definitely tties to push Snaps for that usecase, I feel like other container technologies like Docker or Podman are a lot more relevant in that context and containerization in general is really nice especially for server use and not that hard to wrap your head around! ;)

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Well not really, Docker dose run another Linux system but on your actual hardware so you don’t have the overhead of emulation, it’s really cool for a lot of things!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

I won’t use it myself because I don’t think it’s a good idea to give Canonical or any other company that much power and don’t think it’s centralized nature should be how such package systems work but I don’t think it’s a bad system at all! The sandboxing has it’s hurtles but it’s really good and I am a huge fan of proper sandboxing so if it works for you it’s certainly a good option!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Well, that’s your choice, I like and use Flatpaks but noone has to do so!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Did you read my comment at all? Flatpak and Snap share dependencies while Appimage doublicates all of them so unless you have no big dependencies on your system (literally impossible with Linux systems) Flatpaks and Snaps become more efficient in terms of storage usage the more you use them because they share big parts while Appimage still dublicates every single dependency because it’s a single binarie with everything in it…

Have you ever touched a Google phone? You CAN’T uninstalled preinstalled apps on ether of them, if you don’t root your device third party app stores suck, the law allows you to get rid of preinstalled bloat, messager interoperability is included and so on, that’s a huge law and the first against silicon valley giants with enforcment that will actually hurt them!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Both have laws like that in the making and beside tiny formalities the UK sadly didn’t abandone it at all! :/

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Damn, that’s awful!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

I generally agree with the statment under that image and it’s certainly a funny meme but also Illegal, sadly the enforcment is a joke but that’s not really the laws fault!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Almoat true, it actually has to be a opt in system, opt out is illegal already!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Yea, we have the same issue in Austria but technically that’s illegal behaviour and you should be able to report it somewhere!

That change only nerfed Adblockers and made Firefox the better supported platform for UBlock Origin but I think they talk about web environment integrety aka DRM for the web, that will break ad blockers enfirely for all sites that want to block them!

You hit the nail on the head with that one!

Bazzite 1.1.0 is out - Now with offline ISOs (universal-blue.org)

Bazzite is an alternative operating system for the Steam Deck and for Desktop PCs that closely emulates SteamOS, with numerous additional features and improvements on top. We use immutable Fedora as a base, and allow packages to be layered and kept through updates unlike stock SteamOS. You can even print and change the language...

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Cool, a consol OS like SteamOS is one of the best usecases for immutable Linux, just a perfect match!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

Seriously? Maybe try to take another look because that couldn’t be father from reality!

Funfact, the shitpapers of Axel Springer plan to use fully fletched AI generated articles since ChatGPT came out, in that case I can’t see any way to decrease the quality further tho!

A german Youtuber made a great video about that titles “not AI will replace you, your boss will”

The actual ptoblem is that X11 is impossible to maintain which is why X.org moved to Wayland… I guess some people don’t want to understand jack shit!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

I don’t even know what to say, that’s prime stupidity on another level!

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

You have to get back to reality, no clue how far off ou are by now but it looks bad…

gamey ,
@gamey@feddit.rocks avatar

I should stop trying to argue with fucking idiots, there is nothing that will convince one of your kind and we sadly have FAR too many in the open source community! :/
