  • Yeah actually this was more simple thanI had imagined, I simply changed it so that the owner(me) can only view the folder and not edit. Which totally works in my use case. Thought it would have been more difficult than just changing this tbh, thanks!

  • Im based in scandinavia so wont be able to buy from there, but thanks anyway!

  • Its honestly not that bad installing apps on these distros. Yeah the main one is flatpak, secondly appimages as easy as ever, and any other app can be installed via distrobox and exported if needed. If not that, then apps can also be layered onto the system if needed.

    Ultimately it boils down to user preferences, but considering the growth and popularity of Immutable versions of distros, I would be surprised to not see a few more attempts from the Arch side of Linux.

  • Thanks I might try this! However does this allow for reads/writes from the system? Considering this is a folder for games, the files are constantly changing, such as the game save files etc..

  • Thanks for your input! This is defo something i do need to learn from indeed. This happened on a pretty fresh install too, the only program linked to that specific folder/path, was Bottles, as I need it for running the executeable for the game. No addtional drives or mounts (other than what Bottles is responsible for). However I would still like to be able to "lock" folders just to prevent my own sillyness from deleting it again.

  • fuck.

  • I shall provide!

  • Hope so 🙌

  • It is indeed! Mix between Norwegian forest cat and maincoon 😊

  • not excluding Librewolf, just sharing options.

  • Have actually tried it! And while I love the concept and how it works, its a bit too much to learn for me at the moment. It's defo something I am going to pick up again in the future though! Also amazed me exactly how many more packages it had available than the AUR, mind blowing.

  • I don't view the ghacks.net article as badpress myself after reading it. Also the System1 deal, which is no longer a thing, is the same company who bought Startpage, which is still recommended over at privacyguides.org

  • It all boils down to user preferences right. Some users prefer the maxium amount of control, while others, including myself, only use the pc for gaming and browsing, so I'd rather have a system that cannot be broken by myself and not deal with updates etc..

  • Definitely a very valid point!

  • Hehe all good 😇

  • You probably shouldnt tbh. I don't think Waterfox is any better, it's just less strict in terms of the defaults. Think Waterfox caters best to those who want the Firefox feel but without the telemetry.
