Immutable Distros: What you should know - An introduction into image based systems (Part 1)
  • Great post! Very informative! I have tried to install Kinoite but it's tricky to do with partitions. I currently have all my data/files on a big partition and install the system in a different one, and I can't seem to install Kinoite without "formatting" the disk. Will do in the future for sure!

  • what's a normie KDE distro?
  • Budgie is very much not KDE.

  • GNOME and AppIndicator/system tray

    What's the reasoning behind not having a "system tray" in GNOME? You need to install an extension for that, and that is a weird process for newcomers/beginners.

    But my question is why? Does GNOME really think you don't need one? Why don't they include it?

    Looking to make the switch
  • Is Fedora "bad" for gaming? How so? I have steam installed and a couple of games but, granted, I don't game much these days! Would like to know more as I kind of have settled for Fedora

  • I guess it's the pretty colors?
  • That's the not-spyware part of it.

  • What is your unpopular flim opinion
  • You read a book in two hours?

  • What is a privacy friendly application that you'd love to have, but no one has developed yet?
  • That's the premise behind AdNauseam, albeit only for ads and not general navigation: It clicks all the ads in the background, so the data won't ever target the real you.

  • KDE Plasma 6 Megarelease - Beta 1
  • Yeah that's what I thought, thanks for the answer!

  • A guide to a longer lasting Smartphone.
  • I didn't mean a second hand Fairphone, I mean a second hand whatever phone.

  • KDE Plasma 6 Megarelease - Beta 1
  • To a "newbie", what does this mean? I transitioned to Linux full time less than a year ago and settled with KDE. Will this affect me in any way?

  • A guide to a longer lasting Smartphone.
  • Even better, for you, and for the planet, is to buy second hand.

  • Google is putting ads in gmail. WTF?
  • But then you have to activate access to Less Secure Apps™. It's so disgusting.

  • What's good about Void?

  • Bye biiiittttchhhh
  • 5 years??? You change cars every 5 years?

  • Bye biiiittttchhhh
  • I thought it was too smooth and the rearview mirror on the third image proved it. What are you doing there??? 😂

  • PasswordManagement: which one of these options would you choose?
  • Option 2. It's the most robust. You'll never lose it (provided you have the redundancy), you can use it offline, you can transfer it using a USB pen, it's available in all platforms, including web. I've been using this for 8+ years, on my phone, desktop, laptop, company computer, etc. I store it on a personal cloud (and on each machine, of course, by syncing).

  • How do you clean your glasses?
  • I do that sometimes. When the lenses have grease or salt from the beach, and I have no quick access to water, I'll lick them. I don't recommend it, but I do it.

  • installing multiple distros on one drive?
  • Out of curiosity, which one did you stick with?

  • What's something that's not common knowledge but you think everyone should know?
  • It is still true, at least in Europe. I mean, they're not actually trying to destroy your life, you know, but they're after the company's best interests. They might help you, and might make things not the worst they possibly can, because that'll give a bad rep, but they're not your friend.

  • Help me understand Linux distros updates.

    Hi I'm relatively new to Linux. There's talk about updating, say from Fedora 37 to 38.

    Is this something that needs to happen manually? If I solely update through the updater software, I'm not getting the whole "38"?

    I understand that, of course, I won't see updates on the installer or I won't use a new supported partition type unless I install it again.

    Apart from that, what's missing? Some software won't be updated? The kernel?

    Thank you all!
