I look at distros as a base to make changes from. I can make my distro into whatever i want but its going to take varying amounts of effort depending on which distro I start with.

I choose Nobara because i really liked fedora and I wanted a fedora base but with someone(eggy) keeping up with the latest gaming tweaks and adding them. Ive been using it for 2+ years and so far so good.

Where are you finding hardware acceleration to be bad?

Got me good

I’m pretty sure tuxedo support should be able to cover this for you. Its one of the bonuses of buying a Linux laptop.

If someone exploits a service on the machine they can then connect outside that machine on any port. Ufw would prevent this. The router firewall would also likely prevent this unless they used an open port of the router or upnp was enabled.

Disclaimer, I’m not a network professional im only learning. But you dont need ufw since your router firewall should be able to filter majority of the traffic. But in security there is a concept of layers. You want your router firewall then your device firewall to provide multiple layers incase something slips through one layer.

So to give a simple answer, it depends how secure you want your network to be. Personally I think UFW is easy so you may as well set it up. 5sec of config might stop a hacker traversing your network hoping from device to device.

this video is really well done. Its so casual compared with the nerdiness of most windows -> linux videos. Also does anyone know what that mic is? Also I love how smooth Peertube is. The compression and loading time is such a noticeable improvement.

Basically nixOS but useful.

Easymode: pick a fedora ublue distro and go from bazzite to silver blue :)

Ah Chroot bro

Gimp doesn’t have a marketing problem. Its well known its just that not many people like it. It is not a nice program to use. I think gimp3 fixes a lot of the janky ui but I’ll have to try it out again

That looks sweet as.

Jill is such an awesome person and content creator.

IDC about what it does please just make it look cool and customisation.

Why wouldn’t it? Wayland does a lot more. I haven’t done any testing but on vibes x11 feels more responsive on my old system

I’m so excited for Wayland xfce but my laptop is really old and probably cant run Wayland as well as x11.

ive been using linux for about 4 years now and I still have no idea where the things are kept. Im getting the feel for it slowly like everything flatpak is in a hidden folder .var my solution is to just make a simlink to folders I want to vist and put them in my home folder.

oh the times ive seen people at my work try an sell soemthing to an angry customer. It always fails and results in the customer being pissed off and insulted. It should be obvious that if someone is paying you to solve a problem and your software is not working and causing them to complain they are not in the mood to buy another thing to solve the problem they are already paying you to solve.

Recall?
