I would never use dnf Fedora again, it is an unstable mess.

I am on Kinoite since a year or more? Works great. Fedoras Packages are awesome, stable and often better than Uwuntu or OpenSUS

But dnf upgrades simply were extremely unreliable.

It doesnt matter how your distro looks, thats the desktop.

It matters how it backups, upgrades, recovers.

Hmm have to check that again.

I really like SimpleX on Android, it is a good and often way better Signal replacement.

It is. I also wonder if there was a model that accomplishes the same thing but with less image copying.

Like, make snapshots every day, but manual installs are not snapshotted but still tracked with ostree. So you can revert them, display them transparently etc.

Appimages are crap too, but at least there is progress with AppMan, repos and that sandboxing solution.

Snaps are only sandboxed with Apparmor and snapd only allows a single repo (which contained malware multiple times) so get the hell off my lawn XD

Because it is not a particle

True one can install it on Mint. But at that level, just

• install Kubuntu
• add timeshift
• run unsnap (removes snap, installs flatpak and flathub, installs apps as flatpaks)
• add the new official deb repo for Firefox
• remove a possibly installed Firefox Flatpak (has missing sandboxing) and install with apt

Linux mint has no GNOME or KDE variant, so while they fix many Ubuntu issues, they are still on XOrg.

Installs Thunderbird snap and the dialog crashes, on 12 identical upgrades

Pretty cool!

Android and ChromeOS both also just use fuse for userspace (and user-files) encryption. This could totally be used too.

But of course, if something is not on your RAM it is not safe

Yes. No proof their LUKS prompt isnt tampered with

So how do you decrypt the LUKS vault when you have no sshd running as that thing is not up yet?

Lol, thanks for that info

Uhm thats a pepper and why is that a GIMP thing?

Too busy to answer

Huh?

The name is misleading, but even if the core system was unchangeable, Linux desktops are all configurable per-user (i.e. without sudo) so even on SteamOS etc. this would be fine.

These are all configurable per-user, so no issue at all. SDDM themes are an exception, here you can use sddm2rpm or other methods. sddm2rpm is the most elegant, without changing much on the system.

You can also install rpm packages.

Go to discussion.fedoraproject.org if you need help. Use the tags #atomic-desktops #rpm-ostree and similar ones and you will get help quickly.

uBlue Bazzite. Nothing better than that.

Customizable is a broad term.

I learned that rpm-ostree cant remove packages from an OCI image, ever.

So even if I have a blue-build process for example in secureblue removing Firefox, it is just removed on my side, locally. Thats why I cant reinstall it.

Instead of learning about all the Flatpak packaging conventions, I just translated the docs!

Thats very understandable. Meanwhile I think no beginners use Sway etc.
