  • Noob Question Thread: Ask Any Questions About Linux!

    Jump

  • Is there a way to assess which packages on my linux distribution aren't open source? I'm planning on having a secondary machine which is exclusively open source, but not sure how I would go about ensuring that is the case.

  • How secure does your computer user login password need to be and why?

  • Great! This is the kind of answer I've been looking for. Thank you.

  • I guess my question is why so? How vulnerable are my devices with a compromised device on the network?

  • No biometrics! Just wanted to clarify the only difficulties related to typing my password are its length

  • Agreed - the message I was trying to convey is that I use a very secure password, which sacrifices convenience for security - is this necessary though? I have no concerns related to memorising or particular difficulties typing it out as it follows a passphrase structure for the most part.

  • Open source PDF viewer with Dual Page feature?

  • Okay, after trying a few different options out I think we have a winner :) Firefox suits my needs the best, thanks for the suggestion

  • I'll give it a shot and see if it's compatible. Cheers

  • So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

    Jump

  • Not too familiar with it, in what way would you consider it better?

  • I'll have to give it a try! Hopefully not too many dependencies :)

  • My use case is a pdf of a book which is meant to be read across two pages - wouldn't work if it's displaying pages 1 and 2 together instead of pages 2 and 3, if you see what I'm saying. Does Zathura allow for that?

  • I'm on XFCE, so was hoping for an alternative to Okular!

  • Arch wiki is superb, couldn't have installed or configured Arch without it.

  • So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

    Jump

  • Makes sense. Do you find that by having the same install for so long (including transplanting it) that you have accumulated a lot of bloat? One of the things I really enjoyed about a fresh install was that I knew there wasn't a build-up of digital junk files, but with Arch fresh installing every once in a while just seems impractical.

  • In a way this post is just long-form "I use Arch, btw" 🤯

  • So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

    Jump

  • Both :) Manual classic install doesn't strike me as particularly complicated.

    Is it just me or do Lemmy communities tend to skew left wing? Why might this be?
