(Feddit just started working again)

CalyxOS implements many random 3rd party stuff as if that was their own.

Apart from 2 (QKSMS and Bromite) being unmaintained, installing random apps as system apps (if this is what they do) means a system update may cause data loss for users, when removing those apps. And it has the problem of a way too high goal that can not be reached. They simply dont maintain those apps, so dont ship them.

Thanks, I dont think the common tools are dangerous to work with the original, but I now have 3 backups in various approaches and will wait until I find a solution on how to restore header files, as this seems to be kinda impossible to recover ("secure delete")

They just pay some dude that is doing good work

Ne das wären schon Pflanzen, interessant, paragraph 9 und 10 sind sicher Argumente dagegen.

We dont live in such a perfect world. Linux has a small marketshare for non-server software, so packaging is done by your distro.

You would need to have user-facing settings for Apparmor or SELinux to replicate what already exists with Flatpak.

Principle of least privilege.

Maybe you prefer native packages, but bubblejail or SELinux confined users are complicated as hell and both are pre-alpha in my experience.

So yes you add bloat, dependencies etc. But you also add stability, a small core system, take load of OS developers and unify the packaging efforts so that it is done by developers not packagers.

This reduces complexity a lot, as the underlying system is not as important anymore, and you can just use whatever you want. Software is separated from the OS.

Flatpak is the only good format, as explained in this talk

(Snap has no sandboxing outside of Ubuntu and is thus not portable, Appimages are inherently insecure)

The small drive is nearly empty, just has a few files, those where deleted. The drive is now unuses, used testdisk, photorec, recuva now scalpel to get anything from it.

The files are there, for sure.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

The files are deleted as that folder was too big

I know that Fedora does breaking changes and basically beta tests, but Pipewire "just works" since at least 2 years

Okay thats crazy. Maybe RPM installs can losen the firewall, or maybe common things are always open.

I currently use Fedora Kinoite and until Plasma 6 some major bugs will simply not be fixed. "Solved in Plasma 6" is a very common phrase now and that is okay.

But maybe once that is settled, I would like to have a system with tested packages, that doesnt always break and annoy me...

I love to see new features and especially KDE is simply best on modern Distros, currently. But with Nix and Flathub I think CentOS Stream should be a good mix?

I like the security settings it has, but I never used it. How good is EPEL, do external repos for things like Brave work? How old are packages, do you know when Plasma 6 will arrive there?

 

The "Places" bar is a great idea but currently useless, as it opens tabs and thus wastes double the space.

So I remove it through the GUI, but it seems with every update or even restart (??) it resets itself to visible again, which is a major annoyance.

I searched in the about:config and couldnt find the config? I would place it in my already existing hardened user.js

When recommending people Linux Desktops for very low hardware in the past it was always stuff luke Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Puppylinux (and way more I know) etc.

Today we should not recommend X.org anymore, and Wayland is also said to be faster.

I have good experiences with KDE, but its not trimmed down in any way.

I was thinking about something like the Raspberry Pi Desktop? They use a set of regular Wayland utilities and the Desktop is probably very reliable and resource efficient.

This would be a great new ublue spin, for low resources. If their license allows it, it should be rebranded and changed to be more standard.

Do you know anything else? And no, no window managers please, had a really buggy experience on Fedora Sway.

I tried the Flatpak development release of GIMP 3 and there are already big problems with UI consistency.

For example the forced theming makes it unusable on KDE, this issue describes the too big UI very well and in general it seems like it doesnt make sense to have these huge UI elements on a compact App like GIMP.

Meanwhile apps like Inkscape are on GTK4 afaik, and GTK stands for GIMP ToolKit (or GNU ToolKit?). So its kinda ironic they are upgrading to GTK3 just now.

It seems they are also just doing some cleanup in the code, so I wonder how big the step to GTK4 would be?

And it problems like too large UI elements or theming problems could be fixed.

I am on Fedora with KDE (Kinoite) and use virt-manager.

I like to test a lot of stuff, but the VMs are not big. As they are dynamically allocated, I create them with 50GB or something.

But it seems that virt-manager and also KDE Dolphin see these qcow2 images as being full size, so I currently have only 20GB of "space left".

Do you know anything about this?

 

I think for any Linux Distro or OEM to preinstall Brave, it needs to become more modular.

Is there a way to preset some specific settings like homepage, search Engine, some privacy settings etc

I think Brave is pretty solid, but also really bloated out of the box.

I am using the RPM on Fedora.


Solutions found

  • ~/.config/brave-flags.conf (derived from ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf) should work as a user.js
  • /etc/brave/policies/managed/ (derived from /etc/chromium/policies/managed/) should allow to place policies which cant be overwritten by non-wheel users.

These are the solutions!
