I always see guys swearing by Wireguard for VPN access as a security measure and seems to me like if someone unauthorized gets your public key, they have access to the kingdom.

Yes. Flathub aims to replace your distro's repository as the source for non-system packages.

Install Opensuse Leap.

Podman could never compare to the quality of docker. I wish people who don't know any better would just stop comparing the two and suggesting podman as a replacement.

Sounds like cope to me.

Am not going to allow that excuse. Podman is backed by Redhat, the biggest corporate in the Linux world.

And you are a podman shill so 🤷‍♂️

Cope

Podman-compose is not feature complete IIRC. There are many more issues I can go into if you'd like.

I occasionally use DriveDroid (root) to boot Linux ISOs.

My device also IR so Mi Remote comes in handy.

Save your time. Podman lags so far behind docker, it is not even worth it.

May not be as ideal as it requires manual selection but Chromium has a visible share button for QR on the address bar. Or you can use Pushbullet/Join/KDE Connect to share links with your phone.

The blue A-shaped logo distro just clicked for me. Don't think I'll ever get tempted to wander.

Dejadup backup is neat if you need a GUI. But TBH, you really don't need a GUI, restic will work just fine as long as you target a few folders. It mostly boils down to file/folder hygiene.

Arch BTW.

As an Almalinux user I wanted them to tell Red Hat to fuck off with their Stream, but this news is still good I guess for the short/mid term. I still think they are making a mistake for trusting Red Hat to keep their products/ sources up.

Any (Arch) based distro + Sway

For accessing your VPN network outside of your LAN, there's the shadowsocks option in the gluetun wiki.

You have threat model to answer this question as privacy means different things to people and there are different privacy levels to every threat model. But to answer your question in a concise manner, any closed source operating system developed by commercial vendors is more likely to ship with/ introduce telemetry, user tracking and other kinds of spyware than an open one.

Some apps automatically pick up your theme some don't. For these I give the specific app access to my theme folder with a :ro at the end of the path.

IDEs should work ootb. If some extension doesn't work, maybe it's because of poor support for Flatpak. 9/10 times you'll find the issue is that app is calling the traditional /usr/bin path etc. when Flatpak installations use different paths.
