  • Speed, a lot. Loading the profile for some reason takes forever for me, this "user not authenticated"

  • Sort by two filters at once (top this day, controversial this week, ...)

    Controversial and others are literally useless, its always the same posts

  • Lol thats on AOSP too. Locked for some reason, I guess I need to do the

    1. Disable energy saver
    2. Disable "dark mode on energysaver"
    3. Enable energy saver again
  • Could someone add an image of this setup screen?

    I dont get why Apple would actively advertise other browsers.

    Android is completely open and people still use Chrome, as its the default and nothing advertizes Firefox (Mull) or others like Cromite, Brave, Vivaldi etc.

    I dont drink poison lol

  • Dont worry. No the setup is easy, just follow these exact steps:

    • download a silverblue iso from their website
    • flash it to a usb stick using fedora media writer from the same website
    • install it: use recommended partition layout, I recommend to encrypt the disk, set keyboard language etc.
    • the silverblue install has very little steps, reboot after finished and in the GNOME desktop you will finish the setup.
    • directly after finishing, open Ctrl+Alt+T (or the terminal from the app menu) and rebase to ublue
     
        
    # backup the current version
    sudo ostree admin pin 0
    
    # change to ublue but unsigned (temporary)
    rpm-ostree rebase --reboot ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/silverblue-main:latest #assuming you dont have nvidia
    
      

    after reboot, open terminal again and run this

     
        
    # rebase to the signed image
    rpm-ostree rebase --reboot ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/silverblue-main:latest
    
      

    Thats it, ublue takes care of all the rest. It adds the Flathub Flatpak repository where you get your apps.

    If you want apps that need to by on the system (a vpn app, some terminal tools, a different terminal, editor, filemanager etc) you can install them with rpm-ostree install NAME but note that this will slow down updates. I do this with about 18 packages.

    Updates for Flatpak apps and the system are done in the background, install and forget.

    If you want to use Ubuntu, Arch, Opensuse, Debian apps safely, without breaking your system, use distrobox.

     
        
    distrobox create Ubuntu -i #press tab
    
      

    If you are in the default bash shell, you will get a list of images where you can see all the available container images. This allows you to use apps for any distro on your system, and they are not in a VM and have native performance.

    This is typically used for programming (IDE, language, etc.) or compiling, or installing stuff like QGis or RStudio which are not working as Flatpak. I wrote a QGis Distrobox guide on their website, should be merged by now, for RStudio I can write another one (it downloads addons using the dnf package manager which only works on non-atomic fedora and generally is a mess)

    Often you will not need Distrobox for regular stuff, if you dont do these things.

    Dont install random apps that write to the system, which will not work anyways. Search for RPMs on rpmfusion (already added in ublue), COPR, OpenbuildService etc. You need RPMs for the current fedora version.

    You can install GNOME extensions through the firefox addon and the flatpak extension manager.

    When there is an update like Fedora 40 coming soon, wait a few weeks or months. Fedora supports 2 versions, the old one (currently 38) and the current one (currently 39). 39 will become the old one and get updates until half a year or so, and it will be more stable. 40 will get the latest stuff like GNOME 46 or Plasma6 (on the Kinoite image) and thus have more breakages.

    Ublue cant upgrade for some reason, so if you hear about the new version, wait a bit and run

     
        
    rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/silverblue-main:latest
    
      

    Again. If you want to be sure, this is how you make backups

     
        
    # show your images
    rpm-ostree status
    
    # 0,1,2,3 are from newest to latest, up to down. The image with the • is currently used.
    
    # save the currently used version
    sudo ostree admin pin 0
    
    # remove the saved version
    sudo ostree admin pin -u 1
    
      
  • No the axis shows a detailed increase with clearly stated numbers. This is just the first impression.

    We are not talking about Apple graph madness

  • "I want to get rid of my hair, how do I shave my hair on Linux"

    "Why do you want to get rid of your hair?"

    'Because when I didnt have sissors before on Windows, I always shaved it to have it not annoy me"

    "But now that you have sissors, why not just cut it"?

  • You have the extension button, a tab context menu (right clicking on a tab) and thats it.

    The extension can do a lot, but basically you go to the extension icon in the extension area and create groups, you click on the group and all other tabs are hidden away. Then you open tabs here, you can right click on a tab to move between groups and also set the tabs favicon (the small icon) as the tab group icon.

    You click in the menu on another group and the current tabs are hidden and you move there.

    It can also work with container tabs (isolated cookies) so allow to use multiple accounts, and I think the hidden tabs are frozen, taking less RAM and CPU

  • I dont think elementaryOS cuts it. Their desktop is too old, they use some old Ubuntu Base.

    I would also go with Fedora silverblue ublue here

  • It matters because Linux is different in everything, how drivers are loaded, what components can be restarted etc.

    It may not be needed or it may, and people are throwing in random solutions while the problem is not clear

  • No you should not reinstall the system.

    You use grubby to change grub configs afaik

    • Some organic face soap
    • some organic shaving soap (lasts forever, mix with water or use these fancy brushes)
    • organic basic cream (afterwards)
    • sometimes peeling containing clay
  • /e/OS is extremely insecure.

    Iodé is just LineageOS which is also not better

    Purism (librem) is a scam company not delivering any phones to paying customers, while pretending to do well.

    GrapheneOS is the only one that makes sense, and they use it as Base, so if you for some reason dont want GrapheneOS this may be the next best thing

  • It is based on GrapheneOS which is exactly what the project wants.

    GrapheneOS is permissively licensed which means exactly this is possible and wanted. I dont get it, but I guess its realism.

    Their hardware is way less secure though, so I will stick with user Pixels and GrapheneOS.

  • Yeah it should be sandboxed Play if they dont totally mess up
