Immutable Distros: What you should know - An introduction into image based systems (Part 1)
  • jameskirk jameskirk Now 100%

    Great post! Very informative! I have tried to install Kinoite but it's tricky to do with partitions. I currently have all my data/files on a big partition and install the system in a different one, and I can't seem to install Kinoite without "formatting" the disk. Will do in the future for sure!

    Well I'm not a huge gamer, specially since I have a kid, but I was expecting GTA with horses, but I'm enjoying it a lot (I don't really like GTA) anh I had not played this game, since I never had a console, but it came out for switch and I went for it. I'm not going to try to sell it to you. The no-map immersion is a big factor, I guess, which is new for me!

    I've been playing Red Dead Redemption (the first one) and I'm enjoying it a lot. I've decided to play without the on-screen map and it does wonders for immersion, recognizing areas, locations, where people are, etc. I highly recommend it!

  • What's the reasoning behind not having a "system tray" in GNOME? You need to install an extension for that, and that is a weird process for newcomers/beginners. But my question is why? Does GNOME really think you don't need one? Why don't they include it?

    Is Fedora "bad" for gaming? How so? I have steam installed and a couple of games but, granted, I don't game much these days! Would like to know more as I kind of have settled for Fedora

  • What is a privacy friendly application that you'd love to have, but no one has developed yet?
  • jameskirk jameskirk Now 100%

    Yup! Monopoly alright. I'm lucky to have my bank's app working like a payment entity on Android, without having to go through Google Pay.

    That's the premise behind AdNauseam, albeit only for ads and not general navigation: It clicks all the ads in the background, so the data won't ever target the real you.

    To a "newbie", what does this mean? I transitioned to Linux full time less than a year ago and settled with KDE. Will this affect me in any way?

    Even better, for you, and for the planet, is to buy second hand.

  • PasswordManagement: which one of these options would you choose?
  • jameskirk jameskirk Now 91%

    Option 2. It's the most robust. You'll never lose it (provided you have the redundancy), you can use it offline, you can transfer it using a USB pen, it's available in all platforms, including web. I've been using this for 8+ years, on my phone, desktop, laptop, company computer, etc. I store it on a personal cloud (and on each machine, of course, by syncing).

  • How do you clean your glasses?
  • jameskirk jameskirk Now 100%

    I do that sometimes. When the lenses have grease or salt from the beach, and I have no quick access to water, I'll lick them. I don't recommend it, but I do it.

  • Hi I'm relatively new to Linux. There's talk about updating, say from Fedora 37 to 38. Is this something that needs to happen manually? If I solely update through the updater software, I'm not getting the whole "38"? I understand that, of course, I won't see updates on the installer or I won't use a new supported partition type unless I install it again. Apart from that, what's missing? Some software won't be updated? The kernel? Thank you all!
