Unfortunately this is the beauty and the bane of choice and freedom: everyone has it’s own opinion of what is good and what is not, and can easily make it so, fragmenting the offer and confusing the newbie losing it to the less free alternative. Works in Linux, works in politics.

There is no way to have freedom of choice AND a united front against the alternative.

I use transmission through sonarr, radarr and prowlarr, and those are the folders. Then I tag a torrent of it is a freeleech or if it has been already managed by sonarr or radarr.

Transmission has tags and folders

I tried GrapheneOS last Sunday and cannot male whatsapp work. Tried the play store, the aurora, github, official website, nothing worked, the authentication always failed. Unfortunately my whole social life and family are there, so for me it’s a no go for now.

There is Solidus if you want

Before Fedora I was using Bazzite and fell on the same problem. I can see the use case of an immutable distro, but it’s not mine ¯\(ツ)/¯

Yes: it was the only way to update the software inside. It was so old some pages refused to load, and was really slow. It was a painless and quick procedure and it has been working better than ever since then: decent hardware with (now) very good software.

My wife has a 2015 MacBook that was too slow/old with MacOs. I installed Fedora Kinoite, choosing an immutable distro because I wanted to make sure the base system always works. The only issue I had was (as always) with wifi drivers, but done that it was smooth sailing for the last year. She is not Linux savvy but every week says how much she loves the KDE interface. The system is quicker than MacOS and battery runs for much longer than before. It’s a work PC so I cannot vouch for gaming.

On my 2014 PC I’m using Fedora 44 with KDE, which defaults to Wayland: not problems whatsoever, but some applications say “Wayland support is experimental, beware”.

I switched to X11 after a suggestion to debug some issues with a game. The issues was not fixed, all the other applications I’ve tried are still working flawlessly. PLUS the KDE night light feature is working (was not in Wayland). So I stayed with X11.

On my wife MacBook (2015) I installed Kinoite, defaults to Wayland. Everything works, but Rustdesk renders VERY small. I have not tried X11 on that, and will not try it.

Try both with all your applications and setups and choose the smoother experience. Make security a secondary priority: if it was the first you have less attack surface sticking to terminal only.

You can use a yubikey or a custom file to be provided when you open the database. It’s a kind of MFA.

It’s not, it’s a problem of every package manager that do not use sources and checksums, like rust and python. Take a look at this article that does a better job then me at explaining the situation.

Thanks! I’m using too many of those IRL, plus I couldn’t miss the opportunity to use “fudge” in a culinary context 😁

I’m Italian and I would try this. Also, fudge those “purists” of Italian food: every family has it’s own recipe for everything different from their neighbors’, there’s no or little historical documents about dishes still served and most “based” Italian food was invented by Italian emigrants coming back home with inspiration from where they were.

Cuisine is mixing and experimenting, tradition is the death of good food.

In Italy there is no mail-in voting: you have to personally walk to your assigned voting place in your place of residence. So if you have your residence in Palermo but live and work in Milan, you have to go to Palermo to cast your vote. If you can demonstrate that you’re unable to walk and if you ask kindly some social services can take you there or some appointed officials can come to your home. The only form of mail-in is for Italian citizens living outside Italy, but still the must go personally to the Embassy to cast their vote, and those votes are the mailed to Italy.

Mail-in voting for everyone who asks is something that we badly need, but must be done right (which means not in the Italian way).

I switched to Bazzite on my gaming rig a month ago and felt great. I managed to install and mod Skyrim effortlessly and yesterday I installed Tarkov and SPT with no problem whatsoever. Highly recommend.

But check if your favorite games are compatible, mainly the multiplayer ones: Tarkov can only be single player PvE, GTA is story mode only and forget about Destiny 2. Not a problem for me, plenty of alternatives, but you should check for yourself.

We call this Krapfen

Exactly, that is IMHO a not-so-sane default that some application launcher adopts. Thankfully you can switch to a more “normal” behavior, it’s a flag somewhere in the configuration menus for the application launcher, at least in KDE and in XFCE

All you are saying resonates too much with me… thankfully I have to deal with Windows only at work (and in a really painful way), I’ve managed to switch my home to Linux or BSD, even my old gaming rig.

BTW I think the downvotes where because in your previous comment was not clear on which OS you were throwing shade 😅

I understand them: I am an old Linux user, used to the command line. In there, once upon a time, a command has only on way to be called, and that way was the name under which the command was known and distributed. Aliases were a personal customization made by the user for his own amusement. I am still under the assumption that if a program is presented to you as X, then X is the command to type to run said program. But I understand this is now not as obvious, even in the Linux world.

I am two of these things and if you see me talking it means that tragedy is upon us.
