Proper permissions would not give the game access to anything it didn't actually need to run. It should be running either as it's own user or wine. You don't need a container. How did you think containers get locked down anyway? They run as a user with very limited access.
And that would achieve what exactly? The exploits won't be the same. The permission structure shouldn't allow it to do anything that would compromise the system. Maybe it can phone home, but to what effect?
It's kinda trivial to limit their ability to do anything in Linux though. It's not as if virus authors are gonna waste their time trying to exploit a demographic that is both small and extremely fragmentary when they can just write for windows.
A reasonable doubt is less strict than undeniable proof. If I go outside and see that the lawn and road is wet then I can beyond a reasonable doubt ascertain that it has rained, but that's not undeniable proof. If I go outside and get rained on and measure that rainfall in a scientific way then that is undeniable proof. Blackstone's ratio is irrelevant; too many people are wrongfully imprisoned and executed on dubious evidence. We seem to fucking agree about that, so calm down.
I downvote comments that are obtuse or don't actually contribute to the conversation and I don't see anything wrong with that.
I'm barely rebuilding my server once a decade, so that's all pretty irrelevant. I do use docker a bunch for programs I'd never interact with in the terminal, but that's not really my issue with immutable; it's flatpaks and the CLI, bash wrappers or aliases and all that noise. Too much trouble till they sort that out better.
Immutable distros sound great for desktop users, distro hoppers, and system admins maintaining a fleet of desktop Linux machines in the wild. They sound more than a little annoying for homelab server users that mostly interact with their machine via the terminal and are more likely to want to run unpopular software on unpopular hardware in a niche distro.
And for as weird as they may seem at first blush, many of these obviously took real skill, thought, and effort to execute. Some of these would even be dangerous or deadly without that effort.
You can have both. I hear dual booting has gotten a lot safer lately, but I prefer to keep windows contained in a virtual machine, which has the added benefit of snapshots for when windows update eventually does something I didn't approve. Maintaining windows is so much less stressful when it's not running on bare metal.
If you're very worried about performance, then you probably will need new hardware by the time you need to make this decision anyway. I've never actually purchased windows directly; I just find an upgrade that bundles an OEM key if I need a new Windows.
I'm sure you know what you're talking about. But your comment becomes a techno babble word salad when you throw in a typo or two, skip essential words and forego practically all correct use of punctuation and capitalization. I know this makes me sound old, dumb, and maybe a little mean. I know I'm old and dumb, but I'm really trying to not be mean.
I posted a cookie recipe in response to a cookie meme, got roasted for not converting baking units to science units. So yeah, people are getting kinda aggressive.
And you just know that the tools to access Google Drives natively in Linux must already exist and have been in use internally at Google for a decade, but Alphabet can't figure out how to profit so we'll never see it.
That's why it's just easier to work in the original units of the recipe instead of needlessly converting it for nor real benefit. We're making a single batch of cookies, not bread for an army or drugs; SI units and excessive precision just don't matter that much. The recipe isn't vague, just your understanding. A tablespoon isn't a vague measurement, you're just trying to adapt it to a needlessly precise unit of measure and forgetting everything your maths and sciense teachers should have taught you about significant digits.
Forget this guide because their control recipe is less than perfect. This recipe is perfect. Fight me. I didn't perfect it, America's Test Kitchen did. Kudos to them.
I call this recipe perfect, not only because it makes the exact kind of cookie I crave, but because it can go from stored ingredients to finished cookie in the time it takes to prepare (without the hassle of softening butter) and it will make your house smell heavenly the entire time.
Buy good (and fresh) ingredients, you can't make perfect cookies with rubbish ingredients.
Perfect Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
INGREDIENTS
1-3/4 cups (210g) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 (3g) teaspoon baking soda
14 tablespoons (197g) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (99g) granulated sugar
3/4 cups (160g) packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon (9g) table salt
2 teaspoons (11.2g) vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1-1/4 cups (296mL) semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup (177mL) chopped pecans or chopped toasted walnuts
(optional)
PREPARATION
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 large (18- by 12-inch)
baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk flour and baking soda together in medium bowl;
set aside.
Heat 10 tablespoons (140g) butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes.
Continue cooking, swirling pan constantly until butter is dark golden brown and has nutty aroma, 1
to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and, using heatproof spatula, transfer browned butter to
large heatproof bowl.
Stir remaining 4 tablespoons butter into hot butter until completely melted. Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla to bowl with butter and whisk until fully incorporated. Add egg and yolk and whisk until mixture is smooth with no sugar lumps remaining, about 30 seconds. Let mixture stand 3 minutes, then whisk for 30 seconds. Repeat process of resting and whisking 2 more times until mixture is thick, smooth, and shiny. Using rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture until just combined, about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using), giving dough final stir to ensure no flour pockets remain.
Divide dough into 16 portions, each about 3 tablespoons (or use #24 cookie scoop). Arrange 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets, 8 dough balls per sheet. (Smaller baking sheets can be used, but will require 3 batches.)
Bake cookies 1 tray at a time until cookies the edges have begun to set but centers are still soft, 10 to 14 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking.
Transfer baking sheet to wire rack; cool cookies completely before serving.
Give these cookies away. Seriously, they are too delicious. Your waistline and your neighbors will thank you. Just don't give any cookies to the ignorant fucks whining about units. They got the conversion all wrong anyway.
