  • DEs dont use mount and fstab, they use udisks2 which works with polkit, GUI prompts or rootless.

    Using udisksctl prevents a ton of breakages.

    I dont know about how autostart files work anymore, I always thought just place stuff in ~/.config/autostart but now those dont work anymore on KDE, sometimes.

    I think you use your init system for that. If you go fully rootless, you can create a user systemd service that mounts the drive.

     
        
    mkdir -p ~/flashdrive
    
    cat <<EOF > ~/.config/systemd/user/flashdrive-mount.service
    [Unit]
    Description=Mount flash drive on /dev/sda
    #After=multi-user.target
    
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/sda --mount-point /home/$USER/flashdrive
    RemainAfterExit=true
    
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    EOF
    
    systemctl --user enable --now flashdrive-mount.service
    
      

    Not sure if After=multi-user.target and WantedBy=multi-user.target twists the space time continuum or something.

    I am always kinda confused by those targets, as you must state one.

  • We should invent something that rotates community IDs but only non-bots see the real IDs, flood lemmy instanced with anti-AI posts and dont federate those posts.

    Like, lemmy.ml/c/linux is suddenly garbage, and actually another community.

    But I guess that would create massive drawbacks in UX, requiring javascript, logins or even captchas and breaking links

  • OpenSUSE microOS guys be like

    • dont install any RPMs
    • we wont help you adding RPM repos
    • you need to install RPMs for drivers and stuff
  • Honestly somewhere in GrapheneOS forums but I was not alble to find it.

    Just that they embed code for their adblocking engine that is by ABP. Which may be fair, may be not.

    GrapheneOS people recommend Brave, but no idea why, apart from the privacy advantages over Vanadium.

  • No idea, their laptops are silent since a long time while using i7 or even i9 CPUs. They are hella good at optimization I think.

    Well, I guess I will have to install Hackintosh on my Chromebook and see XD

  • It didnt become Cromite. Bromite was abandoned and a single person or a couple regular maintainer forked it and created Cromite, embedding code from AdBlockPlus etc.

  • I heard that Cromite is shady, and recommendations pro Brave instead.

    I cant find the sources, this topic is really complicated, brave is shady too.

    Which is crazy as Brave is so much more bloated.

    Mulch is a based browser for regular Android, close behind Vanadium in features and release cadence, but without patches that break regular Android and only work on GrapheneOS.

  • Cowgirl (because hat because Fedora)

  • They give you the laptop underneath but at the price of 90% the PC, but really good looking. If you want more, throw it in the trash and buy new.

    No really I dont think MacOS has big requirements, it simply doesnt officially support most PCs.

  • True, Jerboah cant play like any Gif, really annoying

  • You can get a cheap Chromebook too, I got one in front of me! 140€, corebooted with MrChromebox coreboot, runs LUKS encrypted Fedora Kinoite just fine!

    Battery lasts 8h, but that thing has no storage and a pretty damn slow CPU

  • Yes GIMP works too, kinda.

    But stuff like writing text fields and moving them around is just horrible. The text doesnt behave as expected at all, formatting is always lost, moving instead grabs something random from the background

    That works really fine in Inkscape

  • I recently did raster graphics editing in inkscape instead of GIMP, simply because GIMP is often pretty unusable. Worked out really fine!

  • mkv is just a container containing whatever files. Not sure but some could contain code

    Have a look at Dangerzone to strip code from tons of files. Videos not included afaik

  • Yes that is the broken post preview. Click it to open the real post.

    I have no idea how to crosspost on lemmy.

  • your language abbreviation like "de" or "en"

  • No. Kubuntu now has a non-broken KDE Plasma. Fedora 41 has a slightly improved Plasma 6. CentOS Stream 10 with EPEL 10 will have Plasma 6 too, which is a huge step in "being something I could consider switching to".
