Are these the folks behind Bazzite?

Rebooted, still have the same issue.

No errors or output from the add?

No errors or output when I run the command in my OP, but when I remove the --if-not-exists option (flatpak remote-add flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo), then it returns error: Remote flathub already exists. Yet, issuing flatpak remotes still only lists fedora.

I haven’t tried adding it just at my user level yet, but the fact that it says, “Remote flathub already exists,” does that yield any clues as to what I should try next? I’d like to do this at the system level if I figure out how. Thanks!

EDIT: On second thought, maybe I’m not supposed to be able to configure this at the machine level because that’s the point of immutable distros–they’re difficult to break—so I should just configure this at the user level and call it a day? This approach will probably work well enough for my purposes anyway. Thanks for chiming in w/ the idea to use the --user option.

You mean write a script with something like find followed by stow --target=/path/to/profile/folder firefox?

Yeah, I’ll have to study some more examples and read the docs. With some creativity I might be able to finagle something using the --target option. Thanks for weighing in.

It’s also important to make sure the code makes sense and is documented so whoever reads it 2 years from now (be that you, someone else, or I guess another llm) will understand what they are looking at.

Fair points, although it seems to me the original commenter addresses this at the end of their first paragraph:

Then review the entire git diff and have it refactor as required to ensure clean and maintainable code while fixing any broken tests, lint errors, etc.

I don’t have any direct advice, just that there’s a thread in one of the Linux communities where the OP is asking for help with ydotool. You might find some good tips in that thread.

ETA a link to my post from last year about emulating mouse clicks via keyboard shortcuts. I never followed through and got it working the way I wanted, but through my research and troubleshooting I stumbled upon several tools and tutorials, which I linked in the top level post and one of which might (hopefully) help you.

Good luck, and please post an update if and when you figure out how to resolve your issue. Thanks!

How has your experience been w/ on-screen keyboard support in KDE Plasma? Any issues like the ones boredsquirrel mentions?

This confirms my suspicion, thanks for the info.

Would that be the GNOME desktop?

10 commodity SSDs through a powered USB hub forming a poor man’s NAS with snapraid + mergerfs

How did you end up with this setup? Did you just already have a bunch of SSDs from over the years? That’d be cool af if you posted a photo of it.

For the NAS, what do you use for storage? Do you have an external drive hooked up via USB or something else?

Thanks for clarifying. If I understand correctly, you’re saying that in terms of energy usage, a thin client + external docking station for HDDs might have a smaller footprint than an ITX build, but at the expense of future upgradeability. On the other hand, an ITX build would likely draw more power than the thin client + external HDDs, but enables me to upgrade individual components down the road. Did I get that right?

I would only consider those thinclients if AI is something you are planning to run.

Do you mean b/c AI would require a beefy host for the thin client to connect to?

Thanks for clarifying that. One last question if you don’t mind – some listings (such as this one) say “no OS,” and “You must reload the unit to gain original factory functionality.” Are they just talking about installing my own OS or does “reloading” mean something else in the context of these thin clients that I’m not aware of?

Gotcha, although I’m in the US, so would something like this DELL WYSE 5070 THIN CLIENT Intel Celeron J4105 1.50GHZ 8GB RAM 64GB SSD No OS ($34 w/ free shipping) be comparable?

Gotcha, the one you linked is sold out, but what about this one?

it being ARM based will cause various headaches when learning compared to something x86

Hmm, this is just enough to give me pause. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to think on this some more and maybe do a little more research.

What made you want to switch from docker to podman?
