I see lots of people recommending immutable distros to new users as if they are able to debug the inevitable breakages that occur or difficulty installing external programs.

I mean, bait aside, creating a new distro with an existing package manager allows you to set up a different set of default packages and even add your own new/updated ones. That’s the value of it there.

Java, of course.

Unless it’s a JavaScript app which uses some random build system (that was popular when they started work on the app but is now outdated) that you need to set up and learn.

Or it’s a Python app that doesn’t work because you don’t have the right version of python and backwards compatibility is a myth.

Oh lmao, I decided to look into this. https://github.com/flathub/com.ktechpit.torrhunt/blob/master/com.ktechpit.torrhunt.yaml

Looks like it just downloads the .snap package (directly from Canonical’s website) and extracts it. It’s also, of course, completely closed source so who knows what it’s doing when it’s running.

Have you compared the background and text colours? That can have a surprising effect on how the text appears.

Lots of comments about gaming from people assuming that companies will continue supporting their kernel anticheat on Windows 10 after it hits eol.

Windows 11 is much more convenient for identity tracking, so they’ll probably push for people to upgrade because Windows is too “insecure” for their games.

Wonder if ChatGPT just scraped an example token from somewhere and is using that.

Trying to get a clean home directory by trying to get apps to follow xdg and put config files in .config.

Anyone got a good tutorial/guide fir SystemD?

Figure I may as well try to wrap my head around it if it’s supposedly going to murder me in my sleep or whatever.

He’s trying to say “I’m attention seeking, look at me!”.

Now we just need to find a way to integrate systemd into wayland and watch people lose their mind.

That’s why I always line my pipes with lead.

Nonono, imagine a house. But instead of doors it had no doors.

That’s why Windows is so insecure. Since viruses can use the windows as doors.

Closed source is more secure because the viruses can’t see where to get in.

You can actually change those locations rather than using symlinks. I have them as subfolders in ~/xdg/ on my system.

It’s actually harder to detect that. The * is expanded before the arguments are sent to rm, so it just sees a list of directories like /bin /usr /dev /sbin /home and so on.

You could implement logic to detect that case, but at that point you’re just playing whackamole.

Hey, you should be careful around Ubuntu fans. They might just snap.

It’s important we do it that way for our 🌟brand identity🌟.

… You know you can just create a community and post stuff there, right?
