It’s especially frustrating because I don’t think I’ve seen a single app store on a distro prominently show when the last update was for a flatpak app. Even flatpaks own website requires scrolling all the way down to the bottom of an app to see that info.

Plus the app store interfaces/apps are terribly slow and bloated, gnome software will sit in the background doing nothing useful and consume 700MB+ of RAM, searching for an app takes forever, and it will lock up sometimes while installing so you can’t continue browsing/searching for more apps. I’ve tried other stores and they all share the same issues for the most part.

Overall the whole situation is just pretty bad and frustrating. I use the terminal for flatpak updates and such, but it’s not any good for finding new apps.

Sounds like an utterly terrible idea.

Most people using Brave have no idea of those facts I’d bet.

I’m not sure I follow why this would be a big concern. If your drive is encrypted the worst they can do is wipe your data, which would require restoring a backup image. A hassle but it won’t give them access to your data.

SMB often has much better performance in my experience. Plus it’s just a lot easier to use as it supports basically every kind of client.

The people using free davinci resolve are also most likely to be working with h264 and h265.

It’s bizarre that I can just install those codecs and have resolve pick them up from the system like other media players do.

I’m always curious about youtube music apps, it seems like there are so many of them everywhere, even f-droid has like 20+ clients listed that all look very similar.

Maybe just a fun app to try making so a lot of people do it?

Not supporting a 3+ year old Intel wifi chipset out of the box is kind of wild though, that’s a super standard part.

Any of them really, there should be very little difference between distros on the latest kernels.

You can try and figure out what’s accessing the array:

fatrace | grep /mnt/mountpoint/

This will show you the process, type of access (read, write, open, etc), and path. If you don’t see anything right away just leave it running for a bit.

TBH it should be a configurable option on every update tool. On my windows install I have unigetui set to only show updates older than 14 days so winget, pip, etc don’t even show brand new updates.

I use zram only with no swap on the SSD for my laptop/desktop.

For my server it has zram too but with extra low priority swap on the SSD just in case zram gets full up.

Hibernate isn’t something I’ve really ever used, my laptop uses very little power in sleep mode.

Fedora w/ KDE always just feels like home to me, I like the defaults so I don’t spend much time mucking around, and it feels stable and reliable.

A gaming focused distro will do everything else well too, so thats probably why.

It feels like Bazzite tells you a million times over that you absolutely should not layer packages, it scared me off for sure since I’m new to immutable systems and don’t really know how they work fully.

Depends what protocols you need?

If you use SMB install the Samba server package. If you use WebDAV install a WebDAV server like SFTPGo, etc…

If you want a google drive like replacement there’s Nextcloud, Owncloud, Seafile, and others.

For the drives themselves you can have traditional RAID with MD, or ZFS for more reliability and neat features, or go with MergerFS + SnapRAID, or just directly mount the disks and store files on some and backup to the others with Restic or something.

Lots of options!

It doesnt graph over time really, it only does it while open and loses the data if you close it.

Here’s an actual answer, a system monitor with historical data: https://beszel.dev/

It’s a webUI but that shouldn’t really matter vs an app with its own GUI.

Digikey sells the Espressif dev boards, not very expensive either.

Might be time to self host vaultwarden if you need real DB features like that.
