  • Idk, android is basically an immutable linux distro. Seems to work fine for the whole world really

  • Yep, I can for example rebase from Bazzite to Secureblue and keep all of my configs intact for say, KDE. So if a project goes fubar you aren't out of luck and need to reinstall and reconfig linux, its trivial to rebase/"swap distro", its a single command that looks like this

    rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-dx-nvidia:stable

    All programs, files, configs, etc are intact in your home directory. I've swapped between user created spins for different DEs like Cosmic and so on, whats cool is its all preconfigured to run well under bazzites kernel. Image based upgrades are also very nice, theres inevitably config drift that messes with performance or updates can break your setup on other distros, image based means the devs tweak every interaction and push it all to you with the least effort possible on your part.

  • Immutable distros imo help developers with this issue of subvariants a lot. Each immutable distro will have the same behavior, the only difference is hardware interactions. This helps with debugging.

  • I don't think I've even tinkered with Bazzite since installing it. It just works. You do have to get used to container workflows and using flathub but its a marginal amount of overhead for improved security. Bonus points: you can lazy install lots of apps with distrobox, for example you can install .deb files, .rpm files, pull from the AUR, its no biggy, and its all preconfigured and easy to setup.

    It's also nice to be able to rebase your distro whenever you want to try out different spins and features, makes inter-fedora atomic distro hopping easy without destroying your configs.

  • Reserving judgment. If he purges the police I'll think he's legit. Rashida votes correctly in pretty much all instances, it's a shame that the legislature is useless for socialist change imo.

  • Only one I like is Rashida tlaib

  • So what everyone already knew. It would also be stupid of Russia not to demand areas up to Crimea so that Ukraine can't try to shut water off to Crimea again.

  • Surprised they elected a 25 year old tbh

  • I like it when buttons can be reached entirely by my thumb without overstretching it. Feel like anything that isn't that is a design failure.

  • Two birds one fart

  • CoMaps has it on the docket to add opt in traffic at some point.

  • GrapheneOs is currently discussing some stuff with OEMs but more help wouldn't hurt I bet.

  • My phone uses like 30 on idle 🫠

  • If your only exposure is steamos bazzite might be easier for you

  • The issue ends up being a hardware limitation. I can't quite recall the specific issue but there was some sort of encoding thing on the CPU that prevented me from using most apps without severe performance issues. Of course browsing and so on was fine. I ended up using it as a server for some time (20 Years old at this point) and the energy costs were bad enough that I decided to put it to rest. Its now part of my own little museum of old ass computers that I let guests use for mostly for viewing pdfs and boardgame rules. I tell my family to ship me their old laptops and stuff I got like 15 of them at this point, and I have in fact used all 15 of them simultaneously when I invite a lot of nerds over. Most of them are running Fedora Atomic, a couple are running MX Linux, Alpine, and Damn Small Linux. I intend on going through the small distros at some point and do a comparison

  • I only really begin to feel a computer is too old for complicated tasks at around 15 years I think

  • Legend

  • New gender just dropped, Linux gender, you get dysphoria when not using your preferred distro of Linux
