  • As far as I know flatpak applications can be distributed as a file without the need for a repository, just like .deb or .rpm files

    • What are your tips for saving money and reducing waste?

  • What do you use bags for that you can't use reusable containers for?

    • I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

  • Insulting, hateful, dangerous advice

    • Permanently Deleted

  • If you assume malware is installed on a computer, typing a password using a keyboard is not safe either...

    • Discussion: What Android devices are you using?

    Jump

  • I upgraded from a 3a to a 6a. I miss the headphone jack, but mostly I miss the great fingerprint sensor on the back.

    • Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?

    Jump

  • rarbg :(

    • Oracle: Keep Linux Open and Free—We Can’t Afford Not To

    Jump

  • Not because Oracle likes open source, but because they like to profit from RedHat's hard work.

    • Isn’t it a bit of an annoying having repeat communities across various Lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • The upside of this is that if you don't like how a particular community is being moderated, you can follow a different community about the same topic

    • Stable Linux distro with up to date packages

    Jump

  • You will only notice the downside of a rolling release distribution when using it for years. Large breaking changes might unexpectedly be applied to your system, instead of at fixed points in time like with other distributions.

    • To anyone who thinks music piracy is dead

    Jump

  • Soulseek is great for finding and sharing music. I would strongly recommend Nicotine+ over the old SoulseekQt

    • what are some good alternatives to rarbg?

    Jump

  • Not as well curated as rarbg, but a pretty good site

    • Ubuntu trying to install snap AND Firefox even though I have removed them a year back

    Jump

  • Debian packports provided what I needed when bullseye had outdated packages before the bookworm release. For qemu, libvirt, kernel and ZFS.

  • One downside of testing is that it isn't monitored by the Debian security team. Combined with the fact that updates are delayed compared to unstable, it can take many weeks to get important security updates.

    • What modern (gaming) laptops should be avoided for proprietary firmware or whitelists/gate keeping? Also posted Linux GPU telemetry data from Stable Diffusion

    Jump

  • I found that system76 is well priced compared to Windows brands. Avoid paying for the Windows license fee!

    • Contribute at the Fedora Linux Test Week for Kernel 6.4

    Jump

  • It does benefit RedHat, but that seems fair to me. We're getting a great free Linux distribution in return

    • Why is copy and paste so difficult for Linux to solve?

    Jump

  • I have been using desktop Linux for years and never realized... thanks!

    • Fedora's telemetry is planned to be OPT-OUT

    Jump

  • Metrics can be very valuable, the people who really care can just uncheck the box as part of the initial installation. I regularly submit crash reports which contain far more personal information. I think this is a good move.
