I have a dedicated directory with subdirectories for each project and that’s it

I highly recommend checking out either Fedora KDE Spin or Fedora Kinoite! Both are great choices, especially if you want to leverage the power of Flatpak for app installation, as they both push the user towards it. Additionally, if you ever need to install .deb packages, you can easily do so using Ubuntu in toolbox.

Alternatively, EndeavourOS might also be a good fit for you, providing a user-friendly Arch installation with a rolling release system. You’ll have a modern and flexible environment while still being able to use Flatpak effortlessly. You can also install distrobox there to, again, use apt inside of an Ubuntu system.

Whichever you choose, you can’t go wrong! Happy tinkering and remember that the best way to choose a distro is to try it out.

I’m just using Arch in my toolbox. Can’t run into upgrade troubles if you run a rolling release system

This will only show the idiots over at Western governments that FOSS is hurr durr bad, lets Ruskies evade sanctions

For those who don’t know about Escobar’s axiom: https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/escobars-axiom-of-choice-1

Flatpak does NOT provide sandboxing. It containerises your applications. It’s better for permission management but by no means makes the system invulnerable to malware.

Mine too didnd’t notice. Non-tech savvy people don’t even know what an Internet browser is :)

FOSS Communities:

Many messengers did

You could write a bash script to automate this process. Pacman supports hooks for updates, so after kernel updates you could set it up to automatically run the script.

Fr, Mac does a much better job at serving their target users than Windows will (likely) ever do

Every state wants a monopoly on violence. The more powerful the state, the less there are entities that could opress you except the state itself. So it’s not unexpected that the cops would object to have a “competitor” with facial recognition technology

What doesn’t suit you in Joplin?

An interesting choice that is. Picking something like Rust would have benefitted them with a big community of open source enthusiasts that could help with contributions

I’ve been doing this for a few years and eventually got tired of whitelisting websites. I’ve went as far as using NoScript for fine-grained control, but what’s the point? If you need a single feature JS, or a single article on a domain, you will let everything run if you grant the permissions, so why bother?

Better keep JS on and run an up-to-date browser with a custom DNS to filter out known malicious websites. Also, don’t visit random links, that’s an actually good advice.

Who tf codes in nano?

You can do that, but Simplex has a limit on the amount of users in a group due to encryption. There is no point in using an e2ee messenger for public announcements

TL;DR: The Ladybird browser, which was written from scratch and aims to be an alternative to corporate-backed browser, now has a non-profit organisation behind it. Also, it got additional funding of 1 million dollars. The end.

And there are still people who will downvote you for saying that Linux distros are not impregnable fortresses of OS security

Your website’s theme is very pleasant to look at and also serves good for a blog since everything is easy to read. Good job, if you were the one who made it
