The biggest issue I’ve had is tweaks causing instability over time. I also have had some issues where I was updating a debian install that hadn’t been updated in 3 years and it broke and would require tweaking to fix (why do this when I can just load a new immutable install and fix it for good?). I have enough computers laying around that I’d really rather it work when I want to as a sure thing. So far my testing with immutable distros has been stellar, I’ll let everyone know if my ostree tweaks and updates don’t load in 3 years, lol.
I think this is a big enough problem that even the Fedora team considered it an issue and therefore pushed out Fedora Atomic.
They’re the same people you would have seen hanging out in /r/The_Donald or 4Chan ten years ago, who only leave their cave to stir up crap, spread disinformation, and brigade others, only now they’re cosplaying as leftists on a new platform.
Is this AI generated? Hexbear was around before the Lemmy fediverse even existed. They were on a forked version of Lemmy without acitivitypub for the longest time. If their sole desire was to brigade, isolating themselves doesn’t seem the way to go. Also, they were the first large Lemmy community so who is really brigading, the new people from Reddit or them?
We also know where they were close to 10 years ago it was /r/chapotraphouse lmao
Also, about half their community is trans. Do you really think so many trans people are Trump fans?
I want to be a billionaire with a large dick.
Elon, is that you?
I know for a fact that they’ve housed many trans people. They also had a shipment of grain with with their logo on it in Gaza. Pretty dope.
It uses more, yeah. But it’s not a lot more. You could maybe compare the iso sizes
Oooh, didn’t know about that. Very exciting
I have a build like this for tinkering but to say it is slow and inefficient is an understatement. Very secure though. I can’t really see daily driving it.
Even if you do change its fingerprint, I’d argue its still better than most privacy configured versions of Firefox. What you should be careful to do is only change things that can be reverted by going into incognito mode if you seek to daily drive this browser.
Realistically you can only spoof specific things, spoofing hardware is actually a bad idea oftentimes because its possible to tell that you’re doing that. Spoofing certain things like audio readings do make sense tho.
Its based on Tor but its meant to be used with a VPN
You might want to look at the ujust commands on Bazzite, they have some options for setting up surround sound and VR I’m quite sure. I have a pretty simple setup personally so I’ve never used those things.
I feel like flatseal mitigates this a bit but I do agree that flatpaks have room to improve. Particularly with making sure flatpaks are verified against the open source projects they are made from.
I agree. Fundamentally, you still need good distros to plug into distrobox to make swapping between immutable systems quicker. In general I feel like running Fedora Atomic has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of using distrobox + boxbuddy to get quick and easy installs from AUR or something and saving annoying-to-make configs in a backup file somewhere.
Atomic is also absolutely fantastic for throwing on an old computer that you use rarely. The update will not break after letting it sit for so long without them.
Honestly, I haven’t considered this before but it sounds like a great idea.
Mullvad is much better privacy wise than Librewolf, its also snappier and has faster security and privacy updates. The only thing you really lose out on is Firefox sync (if you enabled it on Librewolf). The new identity button helps you reset to a stock state and allows you to circumvent fingerprinting (such as the fingerprinting used for enforcing bans) trivially. Mullvad takes Tor Browser’s approach to heart, while Librewolf takes Arkenfox’s changes to heart. Its factual that Tor Browser is the most private browser, so emulating aspects of it is certainly the way to go.
Some things you will probably find annoying:
Its so good at stock that you shouldn’t customize it much if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Letterboxing is hard to get used to
Without nonstock modifications, its not suitable as a daily driver in my opinion, its a privacy tool first and foremost with stock settings. When you make it nonstock, it becomes very good as a daily driver but you really must be as minimalist as possible in your alterations. Take only what you desperately need, and make sure your settings do not interfere with the normal function of incognito mode which will essentially set the browser back to stock for you fingerprint wise by disabling cookies, history, extra addons, etc.
Some things you will like:
They have big egos. You need to be sure they’re an avid poster and will respond to what you say. There’s also the public aspect, they don’t like having something awful they’ve done brought up in a community they like. You can set up a bot to post things like “Hey remember that time you sexually harassed a woman 20 years younger than you and a court ruled against you” as soon as they post an AMA so it’ll be the top comment. Reddit really hates when you use bots like this and will likely remove the comment after it gets a lot of attention which further inflames other people against the target.
A lot of this requires practice to get good at heckling. It’s all a case by case basis. You should always be aware of your audience and what the audience finds most unacceptable about someone’s behavior.
No
Colleges in fact often conspire to try to delay your graduation to fleece you. Don’t take it as a personal failing
Fedora installer heads stay winning
For gaming I’ve had zero issues on bazzite, comes ready out of the box.
Its worth it to check https://www.protondb.com/ to see if the game you like works.
Personally for coding, I think Fedora Atomic is pretty up there because they make it easy to containerize everything. Universal blue has an atomic spin called Bluefin specifically designed for devs
