To be honest, I don't remember exactly, but I remember that I couldn't ever log into my desktop anymore. I was stuck on the login screen. I tried x11 since I was on Wayland, and it just wouldn't let me log back in. It was like the plasma session dies then spits me back into the lock screen. I can log in in a tty, but not through GUI. I remember reinstalling the whole plasma desktop with everything and I was still not able to log in. It was like it got possessed or something. lol. I want to go back so badly, but I'm scared. I'm at a point of my life where I just want my computer to work. I don't want to run around fixing things, hence why I'm even thinking of an immutable distro.
I've pretty much run every distro under the sun. From arch to Gentoo to Debian and all of the middle ones. I then landed on endeavour OS and used it for around 3 years. It was great until it broke.
Every couple of months something breaks and I can never fix it. Nothing fixes it, even a timeshift restore. I just had to reinstall, and that was painful. I've then set out on a new hunt.
I'm now experimenting with Nobara OS as it is a better Fedora and comes with some goodies for gaming. It's been ok so far besides this occasional random freezing that I can't figure out. It goes away by either rebooting or switching to a tty and back to GUI. I'm still experimenting with it. If it works well, I'll keep it, if not, my next experiment will be BazziteOS. I did try mint for a little bit, too, and liked it, but I wanted to explore more.
LibreWolf strips Firefox of telemetry, adds privacy and security tweaks, disables Pocket, and ships with uBlock Origin by default. It's basically Firefox with hardened defaults and no Mozilla connections.
If Firefox ever collapsed,
libreWolf couldn't continue independently long-term, they rely entirely on Firefox’s upstream codebase. They don’t maintain their own engine (Gecko), so they'd lose the foundation their browser is built on. It'd be the end unless a fork of Gecko emerged.
Man, distrobox confused the shit out of me the other day. I admit, I didn't feel like digging and learning it. I just let it go once I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I want to install bazzite in a VM and mess with it for a while until I made sure I know what's going and also make sure that I can get all of my programs. It's going to be all flatpak and I am not a big fan of flatpaks. I know people swear by them, but I avoid them like the plague
That's one of those things I'm trying to figure out. They're actually a bit more complicated than your regular distro. They're not that bad, but my mind is not there yet. I need some time to dig into it and learn things. I'm definitely switching eventually.
I don't know if they modified apt at all. I know they have their mint tools that call apt through some python code, like mintinstall = apt install <package> for the software manager and mintupgrade = apt upgrade for updating mint versions ... Etc
apt is a newer, more user-friendly front-end for apt-get and apt-cache.
apt = combines commands like install, remove, update, upgrade into one tool, with prettier output
#apt-get = older, lower-level, more script-friendly
For normal use, just use apt now.
For scripting where 100% backward compatibility matters, use apt-get.
Understandable. I personally don't really care that much to make a list about the flaws of a social media site (no judgement of course). I just coast along for a little bit and go back to reading my books.
This kind of answers my question. lol. I didn't think about it that way. I thought they can just bring it all here and that one gets closer closed or something. I forgot how reddit works.
Could be. I don't like the pixels. And I don't like OnePlus either. Phones are like TV remotes now. So narrow and watching videos on them sucks. Going back to my Samsung ultra line up next year.
Ok, the app doesn't have any place to enter those commands. It opens up this msdos like blue terminal and it's stuck there. I can't type anything. And the keyboard shows when I press the back button on the phone. I can't exit the app,I can only exit with the home button
