what the fuck

why is the logo different? did they change it?

Yeah, i know; EUFI computers really suck, turning away the script kiddies and most people that would steal this computer from my data is is the most i can with this thing

I want to have data-at-rest encryption, so that the only password i need to insert is my user one, this allows me to not have to type passwords multiple times. If i had the regular encryption password i would have to enable autologin in SDDM, which would do away with the encryption on kdewallet and all my credentials.

Plus i also enable secureboot, and use fedora kinoite, so that i is hard to tamper with my boot stuff without my TPM wiping itself off my encryption password, this gives me a very Bitlocker-like setup, but without the shittiness of having my encryption keys linked to microsoft's terrible encryption system and user accounts, i can actually control my stuff like this. For a laptop, i must say data-at-rest encryption is a must!

This setup gives me multiple security layers; took my laptop off me -> booted my laptop, faced with user password -> tried to boot another OS, TPM wiped itself, no more encryption key -> computer now asks for encryption password, has to find a way around LVM2 encryption -> LVM2 encryption (somehow) defeated they must now crack my user password, or have to (try) to decrypt my credentials on the file system itself; after all these convoluted and extremely hard steps i think we can agree this person really deserves to have access to my cool wallpapers

i would say fedora is the "security distro for every day people" kind of distro

Can i get some context please? My fedora install wasn't using TPM, i had to manually configure it; i haven't noticed any difference in boot speed with or without TPM encryption

prostate exam

no

after changing animation speed in KDE i have never managed to get back to gnome, holy cow does my computer feels responsive

it is... well not currently i think, but i remember in the first two years i got no firmware updates on linux, then, when i booted windows the update gave me some firmware updates

Man, i kinda hate the epic games launcher, it is really crap; but for me games being on epic is not problem, i just use heroic instead, it's MUCH faster than epic's slop; what i don't like is games that for some reason just refuse to work on heroic despite EOS being installed

You're right! That little fentanyl will surely fuck you up, better get a bigger one, won't make you feel that bad

same

well, now you me

laptop

Firmware updates. Samsung doesn't support Linux and so fwupd gets no security updates from them, fuck Samsung

i don't think anyone takes a place called "Biscay" seriously

sorry mate, but this is no real beach

What? all the New Zealanders i have talked to were very polite and understanding...

yes, that is
