I find it interesting that Proton's other alias solution doesn't even know what domain aliases are used for. That information shouldn't be necessary.

Linux has a sandbox solution growing in popularity, flatpak.

Realistically the threat we care about is others leak your password. So it doesn’t matter.

If you have a setup where your password vault is at risk then yes it’s a bad idea.

It doesn’t support sms anymore. You can only message Signal users.

All games are x86, so you’ll get that 10-40% CPU overhead.

Steam itself doesn’t even support 64bit, let alone arm.

You can play Epic Games too, but then it becomes a chore to setup.

Neither Chromium nor Gecko have a stable public API. Companies are just willing to spend money rebasing every Chromium update.

The good news is no streaming service even supports UHD in browers (except Netflix on Edge?) because of DRM. So I don’t see the value.

That source looks better indeed.

Ars quotes nonsense like “bypasses the security” and “exploit the user”.

Those terms have meaning and they aren’t applicable here.

At the end though they do say things like

is able to hack your phone from the moment you install the app

Without any credible evidence.

The claim is they completely bypass all Android and iOS security is pretty unbelievable.

If so then the real discussion is how these zero day exploits are just sitting around.

EDIT: It seems the focus is on Android but all the information is nonsensical, like AI generated buzzword bingo.

Every package has an architecture but you never have to care about it.

No its not, the package is literally “htop”.

I think you are mistaken. An example:

https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/glib2/
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/glib2/glib2/

Debian:

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libglib2.0-0
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libglib2.0-cil

This is the common case, but Debian gets really out there some times.

And I'll just say dnf is a much easier to use tool:

dnf install /usr/bin/aprogram
dnf install 'pkgconfig(glib-2.0)'

As a packager I’ll just say Debian is the one with the weird package names. Fedora just matches upstream names generally, similar to Arch.

Fedora will live without red hat. It’s got a community structure in place, all infrastructure is open, etc.

Obviously it would lose some funding and manpower but other distros get by.

I use this, it’s not yet perfect but it does what i need.
