I’m the Never Ending Pie Throwing Robot, aka NEPTR.
Linux enthusiast, programmer, and privacy advocate. I’m nearly done with an IT Security degree.
TL;DR I am a nerd.
Yes there are. Actually quite a lot. They hate it because it isn’t a perfect solution in every single case that X.Org provided but ignore the long history of vulnerabilities, bugs, and cursed workarounds present in X.Org. it is getting harder for them to hate though as most of the pain points (eg. color management and global shortcuts) are part of the standard now.
Using either ProtonUp-qt or ProtonPlus you can install newer/alternative Proton versions, including one optimized for Star Citizen
It is faster, optimization is one of the uutils project’s stated goals.
Sadly it only works on Google Pixel. I’d recommend LineageOS, but the images aren’t signed so you can’t lock the bootloader.
eOS is just Android, so Android apps work.
That aside, eOS has a history of being often behind on security patches and updates, so it is highly recommend to avoid it.
Np, I Iove Linux (lol) so I’m glad to share.
Bazzite is good. Gaming focused. I had a friend jump ship from Windows and it was the only one that worked right away with their nvidia GPU.
It being fedora atomic based means you can rollback an unsuccessful update from the grub menu during boot up.
I highly recommend openSUSE Tumbleweed (or Slowroll). It is a rock-solid rolling-release where most things can be done from the YaST GUI. The installer is very granular, you can pick and choose based on groups of programs (like internet, office, desktop environment, etc) or individual packages (in advanced mode).
It has never broke on me and I have used it on and off for several years now. I like to tinker so I often do reinstalls of other distros when I break them but never needed to with Tumbleweed.
It is modern but not unfamiliar, rolling but not unstable, granular but not overwhelming (imho).
If rolling-release isn’t your thing there is also openSUSE Slowroll which does updates monthly (apart from security updates which are back ported)
Even if you don’t pick Tumbleweed, there are plenty of good options. Rapid fire I’ll recommend some others.
Fedora Workstation: my next favorite distros for many of the same reasons as Tumbleweed, semi-rolling and major updates every 6 months, but no YaST or granular installer. It uses GNOME desktop environment.
Fedora Atomic: pretty much Fedora Workstation but more stable because the root filesystem is read-only and updates are pushed as an OCI image. You can still install anything supported by Fedora.
Universal Blue: Modified versions of Fedora Atomic which aim to be much more user-friendly and preconfigured out of the box. I recommend them over Fedora Atomic vanilla images. Bazzite is my recommendation for any gamer on Linux (though most distros work).
If you want to have a good experience on Linux, avoid perpetually out of date distros like Debian/Ubuntu and their derivatives. Linux game support is always improving, same thing with basically everything, so dont kneecap yourself with slow/stable release distros.
That is not what I was referring to. DoH is easy to access in the settings, but with a SOCKS5 proxy you want DNS from the provider to avoid fingerprinting of your location by using a network or DoH provider, which may be a geographically closer server because of your host IP.
Under about:config, change “network.proxy.socks5_remote_dns” to true.
I don’t know definitively why they were fingerprinted to there local city, this is just a theoretical reason.
Sad but understandable. I saw the donation button but I don’t have spare money atm.
It might have been your DNS that was identified? It depends on whether you enabled proxy DNS for SOCKS5.
For best fingerprinting protection, use either:
Avoid using Tor with a normal browser because you will stick out like a sore thumb.
The link to the Joplin’s website is https://joplinapp.org/
I recommend Notesnook. It is open source, cross platform, and cloud synchronized E2E encrypted. I know cloud based wasn’t something you wanted especially, but I thought it was worth mentioning because it is encrypted.
Username history is public info for Minecraft accounts, using Mojang’s API.
For example Richard Stallman
Thank god. It is a fantastic game.
I personally like flatpak and its build system. Flatpak applications are sandboxed by default and don’t require root during any part of installation, reducing the risk of malicious/broken software damaging the host. They also are available for basically any base distro, meaning i can use the same apps if a ever distrohop and i can even just copy over the config folders as if nothing happened.
It’s a panel of tests for browsers. It isn’t the clearest what each mean (without doing a little research) and not all categories and subcategories have equal importance. I still like this website though just for the listed information.
Idk if it is related but I found that my LCD monitor dims through the GNOME setting, but just not my OLED.
