This is the only path forward.

If you’re going to use nvidia, don’t even touch wayland. Truly an awful experience.

Bloat does matter it is extremely important, not because having a bunch of apps slows anything down or has any tangible impact in that regard. Because it isn’t as sexy as somebody’s hyper specific gentoo install compiled without some specific module.

The reason bloat is such a big deal, particularly if you’re new to it, is because it’s confusing. if you’re trying to fix a problem that you have run into / possibly contributed to, a dozen different programs running in the background that you didn’t put there is going leave you frustrated and disenfranchised.

Pick a modular distribution like Arch, take the loss that is your weekend putting it together and develop an understanding of how the pieces fit together. If you really don’t have time choose something like eg endeavourOS. ( or even Void is quite nice (but non systemd so less conventional))

I would personally recommend avoiding something like fedora or Debian. They are both fantastic distributions that work very well. They are not good at teaching new users how to fix problems and that should be your primary goal here.

With respect to 2, it would stop others scrapping the content to train more open models on. This would essentially give Reddit exclusive access to the training data.

I love these guys, they are wankers, but they have a point. I didn’t get a say in any if the laws the upper class subject me to. Let ‘em clog up the courts for all I care.

Bind tun0 in the settings but what I do is run BitTorrent in a docker container with WireGuard so the vpn doesn’t effect my day to day browsing

Let’s put it this way, I’d be surprised if they didn’t have a backup of each single one of your messages.

Well I tried Aeon for a month and it has been the least reliable system I’ve used since, well actually probably anything, like maybe vista I guess.

The thing is a mess and it brings nothing to the table over A/B snapshots.

The scales must be different for enterprise use because I’d never go near another immutable OS again after this terrible experience.

Maybe it’s just flatpak that’s unreliable on Aeon, I found moving electron apps into podman containers was a lot better. But on void it was fine, clearly a lot more work to do the flesh it out I goes.

Tbf SB had far less issues than Aeon.

Just add 11 to utc.

No harder than having different times in different places.

So it looks like protonmail is actually legit then

I appreciate this is more asking about nicks, but I’ll offer some feedback on my experience with immutable distributions more generally.

I took an adventure into silver blue and micro OS recently and I was completely unimpressed. It’s a novel idea from a good place, but it was the most incoherent and buggy experience I’ve ever had on Linux distribution in the past 10 years. Nothing walked reliably, and everything broke, I also found that trying to use anything other than the default gnome desktop was an exercise in futility.

I need to clarify, I think it’s a great idea. In practice though, Both implementations, silver blue and micro OS, are really over engineered.

I have adapted the ideas into my current install and I achieve the same thing with A/B Snapshots And a script that takes me from a base snapshot to my daily driver. Everything else exists in containers So bootstrapping up only involves half a dozen packages (iwd, node, nvim etc. ).

I’ve had this before, try a different kernel, like an LTS, if that fixes it, there’s likely a kernel parameter somewhere to fiddle with.
