Hear me out, the big players in the Linux space I.e. Canonical, Red Hat and SUSE could release trailers commercially on TV and social media to general users who may not be tech savvy or have a “basic windows” lingo in IT....
To add, Linux only just hit 2% market share, and that was big news. General advertising wouldn’t pay off until it becomes a more mainstream consumer purchase factor.
So I took the plunge and installed Fedora Silverblue because of all that immutable buzz. And it’s the most frustrating change I have made in almost 20 years of my distrohopping....
It’s immutable (aka. atomic), which means the system files cannot be changed, even by root. System updates come as complete system snapshots of the core filesystem, and everything else exists in containers or filesystem overlays (user directory is still writeable). Containers and the user’s home directory are unaffected by the updates, so the update process is typically much safer overall.
If an update does break something, you can easily do rpm-ostree rollback, and everything will be working again. On top of that, you can swap between versions with a simple rebase command (e.g. swap between Silverblue and Kinoite, Kinoite and Bazzite).
Only thing I haven’t figured out, yet, is how to install the Private Internet Access client. It uses a .run install script, and it fails when installing via rpm-ostree (tries to write to /etc) and doesn’t like being installed in a Distrobox (needs systemd).
But yeah, I’m currently looking at some other options for my main system to drop Windows, and I’m always comparing to Fedora Atomics, now.
Once a glamorous destination that attracted the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Abba, the Cypriot resort of Varosha was abandoned on 14 August 1974 when Turkey invaded. For 50 years, the town has been deserted, but in 2020 it was opened up to tourists.
Soil is a huge reservoir of carbon. There are around 1.5 trillion tons of organic carbon stored in soils across the world—about twice the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Scientists used to think that most of this carbon entered the soil when dead leaves and plant matter decomposed, but it’s now becoming clear that plant...
Yeah, no. Veganism isn’t going to save us. It’s not even a step towards a sustainable future. Insects will become a staple protein before the world becomes vegan, in no small part because it’s much more difficult to get the nutrition you need from a vegan diet without money.
These WASPs should spend their effort lobbying for an end to factory beef farms or for UBI.
No. They could restrict it, like they do with tobacco, but that’s far less ubiquitous than gasoline, so I don’t find it likely they’ll even do much in the way of restriction.
Plus, you’re not owed a date just because you think you otherwise deserve consideration. Superficial or not, people are entitled to decide what relationships they want to engage with upon whatever criteria they want.
Might mean they miss out on certain experiences, but that’s not your problem.
Probably best that you do the same (installing packages in the FS overlay kind of starts to defeat the point of containerization). You could try installing it with a distrobox and then exporting the app—see if that fixes your loading issues.
I run Bazzite on a gaming laptop from 2015, and I haven’t noticed any particularly long load times. Do you have some browser extension(s) that are maybe causing issues?
You can try rpm-ostree to install in the lowest userspace layer, but Bazzite purposely switched to flatpak Firefox and discourages installing software using rpm-ostree, unless you absolutely have to.
Nix might have been removed. I’ll have to check, but I feel like the ujust command forv setting up nix went away a version or two ago.
But I think you can set distroboxes to run at startup, so you’d never know the difference when it came time to actually launch the program. Right (correct me if I’m wrong)?
I love my electric kettle. I can get 5 cups of boiling water in about five minutes (less for less water).
And while a microwave is likely faster, it also heats the container. For a quick, single mug, it’s not an issue. Run that thing for five to heat a lot of water, and the container itself could be scorching hot.
I don’t think so. You can “auto-read on scroll” in Settings, but you’d have to manually “clear all read” items in the kebab menu when you’re viewing your feed.
Edit: I think you can get the effect you’re looking for by going into Settings and turning on the auto-read and going into Settings > Account Settings and turning off “Show read posts”
Subsequent to his arrest, Chris was served with a quarter million dollar lawsuit on behalf of the New Columbia Movement.
Bunch of fucking fascist larpers who played BioShock Infinite once and think they’ll be in the ruling class if the fascists win. I hope they lose their attempts to prevent their members from testifying.
