Opinion: Distributions that only change non-system pre-installed software or desktop environment should instead be packages or scripts

  • I say that very tongue-in-cheek, but it definitely gave a vibe haha

    • Dropped my pen

    • What is the best music player that lets you see your collection by album covers?

  • Ahh I see sorry for the misunderstanding.

  • The photo you’re referencing as something you want IS Lollypop. Do a little bit more digging into the preferences, you can get it to a pretty nice state. Try right clicking the sidebar too and clicking the three dots at the bottom.

  • This. Always have a spare arch usb laying around for times like these.

    • Git repository storage/forge recommendations?

    Jump

  • Gitea is light and fast so I highly recommend it. If you are worried about it being a for profit company, then use the fork, but if they haven’t done any harm, I’d said give them a shot.

    • What can we do to keep the web open?

    Jump

  • Stop supporting those who intend to close it.

    • How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

    Jump

  • I use PikaBackup which I think uses Borg. Super good looking Gnome app that has worked for me.

    • Jump from Arch to NixOS?

    Jump

  • I would recommend you give it a shot. Nix is not conventional and you will find that the ways you’re used to doing things are arch are done differently on NixOS. It’s not a matter of maturity. It’s a matter of use case. I use it on two systems, but not my main one because there are some things that I don’t want to deal with that NixOS imposes. I encourage you to give it a try and see what you like about it.

    • Can someone give me a good rundown on how to keep my accounts safe but also not locking myself out ?

    Jump

  • Right now I’m using Bitwarden as my primary password manager Before I switched, I had “all my eggs in one basket”, meaning my 2FA codes were stored alongside my passwords. This is a BAD practice. For one, Bitwarden offers 2FA to secure your account and storing this 2FA code in that very same Bitwarden account is very dumb because once you’re logged out… well… that’s it. Use a 2FA app on your phone. I highly recommend Raivo for managing your 2FA codes on iOS, not sure about Android. Using an app like this compounds your security because someone would have to have physical access to your device AND be able to access the codes on said device (Raivo offers takes pretty strong security measures) AND know your password/have access to your Bitwarden account. Raivo also offers you to export these codes in an encrypted zip file should you wish to back up to cloud storage or directly to your computer (depending on what OS your computer is, it might prove to be challenging moving this file from your phone) I hope this helps! Please ask me any questions if you have them. I’d be more than happy to answer them

    • All the Linux forums/chats I'm on today...

  • Don’t you think that’s a bit extreme? I don’t think that the community debating opt-out telemetry qualifies fedora as not supporting open source. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Fedora is a community run project, meaning basically all of it has to be open source.

  • You are right, but Microsoft allows you to opt out of some of the data collection, but it can never be fully disabled by traditional methods.

    • Best Laptop for Linux

    Jump

  • I second this! If all you need is low end and Linux compatible laptop, Thinkpads are, almost annoyingly, regarded as the tinkerer/hacker Laptop. After some research (one search on ebay) they are going for very cheap, far within your budget.

    I did a little research and found this which states that for the graphical installation, it will take "at least 2 GB of RAM and 20 GB of disk space" and in some cases certain apps/programs recommend 8 GB of RAM.

    I recommend 8 GB of RAM for now and a 128 GB hard drive. If you can get a smaller drive go for it, but just stick with the main brands like Crucial or Western Digital when it comes to drives. I recently had my SSD corrupted in my thinkpad because the previous owner bought a cheap drive that randomly disconnected at times.

    I believe RAM is replaceable and upgradeable in most thinkpads, but verify that before purchase, it'll save you the disappointment of being stuck with 8 GB of RAM.

    I hope this helped :)

    • lemm.ee just got faster! (infra upgrades)

  • Thank you very much!!

    • Is anyone defending the Rebuilders?

  • Thanks for a solid assessment of the situation and providing some sources 👍

    • Red Hat, you're harming the entire Linux ecosystem.

    Jump

  • I understand the argument, but consider that Red Hat is a huge contributor to more than just RHEL. The biggest contributors to the projects you know and love like Libreoffice, gnome, and Wayland are from people being payed by companies like red hat. I can understand why people disagree with their choice, but when this company profits, they don’t just make RHEL better and support everything dependent on it, they make Linux software better.
