I replied to @muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee and understood the question like “Is distrobox as secure as QubesOS?”, which I replied with “No”.

Ahh, fair cop. Good point on Secureblue, but my threat model doesn’t take me there.

Eh, it’s fedora under the hood with SELinux enabled, and immutable, better than most security wise, I didn’t say much more.

Bazzite is the better distro because you install things in a distrobox. Muck around, break things in there, but your main distro stays safe, secure and stable.

Would’ve sworn Potatohead/Voldemort was a caretaker and they’d switch for the election. Instead the shit stain is neck and neck (according to Murdoch polls). Wtf is wrong with this country, we see Trump and go ‘hold my beer’. May not be the worst timeline, but it ain’t good.

I have exactly this (AM4, 7800XT, 3440x1440 monitor) running bazzite. Almost every game I have maxes 165Hz, works great for LLM inference too, really the nutso expensive stuff is only necessary for 4K+, which I find diminishing returns at present, LLM training (rent a GPU instead), and probably modern VR. Just to let you know you’re barking up the right tree. :)

Oh, and the 7800XT idles / youtubes ~ 14-20W, 7 with the monitor off. I’m actually using it as a backup NAS / home server in down time, system pulls ~40-45W at the wall and I haven’t even gone deep into power saving as it’s a placeholder for a new homelab build that’s underway.

Well, that’s all kinds of wrong.

I could care less, but then I wouldn’t care at all…

Hanlon’s razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity (or incompetence).

This works for individuals, but when it comes to corporations, you really have to ask, why not both?

Just use multiple database files (e.g. one for unimportant, one for important) and automate the syncing with syncthing or something so the lazy doesn’t matter…

Clear as mud. (I actually dimly get it, I’m a dev, but mere mortals will be clueless and move on). Farcaster is right, you need to define terms and give examples of actually getting this up and running, you’ve got way too much internal context that you’re not making explicit. Not an attack, trying to help, project sounds cool.

FreshRSS for those playing along at home…

Who knows ?, which is the same as no.

Leveraging the tendancy for everyone frustated with shit search results due to SEO to slap site:reddit.com on the end, and enshittifying it (coz any AI they can train (also any AI, but moreso) will mangle the shit out of it, seriously reddit is not enough data). Way to dilute your brand for a headline. Morons.

So, as a bazzite enjoyer what in particular need I do?

Fair cop. Keep a weather eye out for better alternatives for the blockers, but as noted the full fat gOS play store and google services are pretty good, and the bootloader gets re-locked, might be worth trying it for a weekend to see how close you get, many people have good experiences, but it’s all down to cases.

It’s a pixel, you’re in c/Privacy for whatever reason, have you considered just putting GrapheneOS on it? All those annoyances go bye bye, you can have a full fat google alternate user and an approximately private main user…

I selfhost it on my laptop, pretty easy, and I always have it just the way I want it. Still pushing shit uphill with the AI crap, but better than any one search engine (it amalgamates many). Relevant to OP I have a large block list enabled, but it’s very much a moving target.

Subset of the right to be left the fuck alone if a human desires it.

wut? I VPN all the time (for niche stuff Lemmy’s not there yet with).
