Not a camera suggestion, but cameractrls, is a great piece of software to tweak all camera related things on Linux.

Green Pass PDF Wallet! This app is super nice for storing/viewing boarding passes and other important documents while travelling. Has nice features such as automatically turning up the display brightness when viewing a file, so that the QR/Barcodes are more easily scannable.

I personally went with a P15 model and have been beyond happy with mine. Got that numpad too 🙌

Wow I was so confused while reading this haha, got me good there! Happy to hear its working as expected :P

Thanks for shedding light on this! I will do my part and no longer post in communities tied to lemmy.ml!

Interesting choice of name to say the least…

Very Neat! Saving this to my wishlist 🙌

Thanks for sharing, wasn’t aware of this channel yet. A lot of very relevant videos for me to watch forward 😊

Definitely a very valid point! I have a server I can back up to aswell, just gotta set it up as you say 👌

Thanks for the explanation, I luckily solved this with just “basic” changes of permissions in dolphin actually haha, but defo good to know that chattr has these capabilities for future references. Appriciate it 🌻

Thanks for insight!

Yeah actually this was more simple thanI had imagined, I simply changed it so that the owner(me) can only view the folder and not edit. Which totally works in my use case. Thought it would have been more difficult than just changing this tbh, thanks!

Its honestly not that bad installing apps on these distros. Yeah the main one is flatpak, secondly appimages as easy as ever, and any other app can be installed via distrobox and exported if needed. If not that, then apps can also be layered onto the system if needed.

Ultimately it boils down to user preferences, but considering the growth and popularity of Immutable versions of distros, I would be surprised to not see a few more attempts from the Arch side of Linux.

Thanks I might try this! However does this allow for reads/writes from the system? Considering this is a folder for games, the files are constantly changing, such as the game save files etc…

Thanks for your input! This is defo something i do need to learn from indeed. This happened on a pretty fresh install too, the only program linked to that specific folder/path, was Bottles, as I need it for running the executeable for the game. No addtional drives or mounts (other than what Bottles is responsible for). However I would still like to be able to “lock” folders just to prevent my own sillyness from deleting it again.

Have actually tried it! And while I love the concept and how it works, its a bit too much to learn for me at the moment. It’s defo something I am going to pick up again in the future though! Also amazed me exactly how many more packages it had available than the AUR, mind blowing.

lol

It all boils down to user preferences right. Some users prefer the maxium amount of control, while others, including myself, only use the pc for gaming and browsing, so I’d rather have a system that cannot be broken by myself and not deal with updates etc…

Essentially: read-only system files.

In immutable distros, you or any other programs that are installed on the system cannot modify the system files. That includes the system configuration files as well as applications. Its goal is to solve the problem of an entity gaining admin privlieges to your system and cause loads of damage. There are some addtional benefits too:

• Updates apply at reboot
• Root partition is read-only
• Considered very secure
• Sandboxed applications via flatpaks, snaps and appimages.

Thanks very much for the detailed response - this was very insightful!
