I was usimg TPM on my Arch laptop, but then I swizched to a fido device - nitrokey.

Actually you can already run minecraft PE on linuc for quite some years, so nothing new.

Looks fantastic but how much are apps sandboxed? I don’t want WhatsApp to see all my files for example.

And blocks Tor.

Damn thats interesting! I would love to get one but currently I wouldn’t pay 500$ because I don’t have enough knowlage yet to do fun things with it.

Nitrokey

Yubikeys are defenetly the most popular ones, but I prefer Nitrokey which is based in Germany and open-source. I have 3 Nitrokeys and I’m very happy with them.

I have an IdeaPad and I can confirm that I can physically remove the Wifi card.

True but then you actually have to remember the password. Or you can use an USB key to store keyfile or a hardware security key like Nitrokey or Yubikey to decrypt it.

to test if it’s Firefox’ fault

Firefox follows web standards the most, but because most people use Chromium-based browsers web developers make websites for Chrome instead for the web.

IMO it’s the best (desktop) Chromium-based browser. Which means it’s a bad browser but there are a lot of worse options.

If you don’t have hardware encryption you can use --cipher xchacha20,aes-adiantum option when running cryptsetup to make it way faster than standard aes cipher in software.

I don’t believe one can run Linux on it.

Someone will prove you wrong. Not me. But someone will.

Great! Exactly on time for the next release of Debian :)

I was interested in technology and programming and my mom recommended me to check out a raspberry pi. Her friend’s son has one. So my first comouter was a raspberry pi with RaspbianOS when I got my first PC it seemd normal to install something that I was using for the last year and its free. So I installed Pop!_Os, a year later Fedora and a half year later Arch. I’ve been using Arch for more than 2 years now.

I’m using Arch because you start with nothing and you can make any system you want. I have disk encryption, btrfs as a filesystem, secure boot with my own custom keys, I’m running self-build kernel, I’m using apparmor and I can use any program from AUR, etc. Thats my personality. Things that you can’t see but are important to me.

On other distros some of these things would be very hard to do. Especially without Arch Wiki.

Yes but you have to do that for each service if I understand correctly.

I switched from Docker to Podman, because Podman is more secure (if rootless) but it was just hard to autostart containars. You have to start one by one because they don’t have a central service like docker. And watchtower and nextcloud AIO don’t work on Podman. So I switched back to docker.

Then atleast fake it until you make it!

To 3d print something you need to convert a model (.stl or something else) to gcode. A slicer will do this for you. I use Cura (it’s open source) and works great on Linux. Then you have to send that gcode to the printer. You can do that with micro SD card which is what I noramlly do or you can connect to the printer using USB cable and send the gcode using a slicer.
