I would but I rather stay in my lane.

The joke is that BMW drivers don’t use their blinkers and may not give notice of quitting a job.

Maybe I’m being stupid but a trivial way to ensure this is just don’t connect it to the Internet in any way. No SIM card. Cut it off from the Internet after setup, and only connect to a LAN with your chosen services all physically isolated from any internet machines.

Yeah, my buddy got real inspired and started a business around it, but it just didn’t take off.

I think there’s definitely security concerns which is their highest priority. If the kernel isn’t maintained, security issues aren’t getting patched. You might be able to cobble something together, but there’s going to be holes.

I think they’re paranoid and that’s not a judgment. Rightly so if security is your first priority.

I understand the decision. It’s kind of unreasonable to expect a developer to maintain a release without access to reasonably-maintained source to work on.

That definitely sounds like a feature that should be added. I remember when you couldn’t even export your subscriptions.

Best wishes, and thanks for all the memes!

Different goals and different designs. Why are there so many links distro?

Snap is proprietary. Appimage does not include distribution and updates. It also doesn’t attempt sandboxing of any kind.

On the other hand, I find appimage very convenient to use.

That is definitely a sacrifice being made here I agree with you. It gives developers more control over exactly how their app runs, but it does mean less storage efficiency.

I don’t think Flatpak is going to be compatible with Steam anyway in the long-term because layering container solutions doesn’t generally work very well, and Steam is going to want to use its own solution for better control over the libraries each game uses. Earlier versions used library redirection and some still do.

But y tho?

I love what Flatpak is doing for Linux desktop. Let it grow!

That awful magsafe adapter design with no strain relief grinds my gears.

To me it sounds like your root cause is either a driver problem or your hardware is misbehaving a little bit in a way the driver doesn’t expect, firing a lot of interrupts that shouldn’t normally happen.

If this seems to resolve your issue, I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. I would think my hardware is a little bit weird or there’s a bug somewhere in the driver for it. You can also try different kernel versions if your distribution gives you the option, because kernels come with different versions of drivers.

You can’t kill that because it’s a kernel thread. They are not like normal process; these objects are part of the operating system and terminating such a thread can cause in stability.

Balls of steel or ironclad backups.

Or, simply, masochism.

Looks like either bad cable or failing drive.

I feel you. I installed dual boot and basically just never bothered to boot Windows again because the stuff I need works.

2nd: almost every low-end laptop I used has a module that can be pulled off of the main board to remove wireless features.

I’d get stonewalled.
