Cover Your Ass. i.e. avoiding trouble from the Washington regime
What a joke. The Guardian was captured by the establishment after Snowden and now just reprints security state PR notices.
Man just when audio in Linux got decently stable and functional, now we have to switch to some new removed. I run Ubuntu 23.10 that has pipewire and mostly it works but then sometimes it starts crackling, audio turns on and off, skipping, or random muting.
I’m getting so removeding fed up with these stupid Linux desktop pre-alpha software that take a decade to stabilize and by then we’re off to the brand new thing that barely functions.
What the removed are you smoking dude, X11 is used all over the place
and we should minimize the amount of damage removedty clients can do.
Can’t have global shortcuts or share my screen but at least my system is secure from these non-existent threats snort
Why don’t I just smash my computer with a sledgehammer for the ultimate protection from flatpak malware.
Do you think every single app should have permissions to screen record without you knowing, to keylog without you knowing?
Can you point me to a single notable breach that happened because of this?
Classical security thinking is that if you have a compromised app running, it’s all over anyway, and it’s time to wipe and reinstall. Luckily, this isn’t a problem on Linux because packages are vetted by distributions maintainers… unless…
Unless the new plan is to transition from that to flatpak proprietary stores packaged by unknown developers, giving us trashware app stores like on Android and Windows.
Sure, if you expect to run proprietary malware on Linux then some protection might be useful. But then you’re just running a removedty version of Windows, and not getting the historical cultural benefits of Linux anyway. Might as well run Windows.
Probably never. X11 just works better. Wayland has bad design and bad implementations.
After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).
I don’t get it, doesn’t NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?
To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.
You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.
You don’t need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.
I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.
Because OP is looking for security isolation, which isn’t what containers are for. Much like an umbrella stops rain, but not bullets. You fool.
Containers are meant to simplify operational aspects of development and deployment. For proper isolation you should use virtual machines.
Well let’s see
I could go on…
What are you talking about dude… Microsoft doesn’t help anyone. There’s no support hotline, their documentation sucks, their interfaces suck, etc. Your Windows help is your son, your local IT shop or corporate IT. Comparing Microsoft to a trusted friend, lol, what a crock of removed.
Absolutely not.
Get a used Thinkpad X1 tablet. You find get a 16GB ram version for 300EUR. Works great with Linux without any tinkering.
Why are you even bothering dude? Just back up your data and install it fresh. You’ll be done in 30 minutes.
