maybe because a huge fraction of users wouldn’t understand more advanced tutorials, or it’d be just too much effort

jokes on you one of my not so much into linux friends had it and his setup kept breaking, now he’s about to install fedora
non-reply reply lol
jbk@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?8·9 months agosometime ago I had my home directory managed by
systemd-homed
on Fedora (before 38 even afaik). the SELinux policy wasn’t configured properly for it though, so I had to keep setting it to permissive mode. for some stupid reason I remember running the command to do that on every. single. boot. lol
jbk@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•“Something has gone seriously wrong,” dual-boot systems warn after Microsoft update3·9 months agoyet another reason to use sd-boot?
actually normal business for Google Play and smaller apps
jbk@discuss.tchncs.deto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•After a particularly annoying update today8·10 months agosame for PowerToys somehow. how the hell is it that slow in installing updates?
wow I kept opening
man:somethingwithoutsectionunfortunately
in firefox instead of doing that lol
So is it pretty much an unofficial Spin then?
jbk@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•People doing the 30 days linux Challenge are having several problems because of Mint's old packages and technology. Why people still recommend it when there is Fedora and Opensuse with KDE and Gnome?79·11 months agomaybe it’s a good thing these blind haters of anime stuff aren’t nearby
jbk@discuss.tchncs.deto Linux@lemmy.ml•I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that.2·11 months agoTo 1.:

instead ofall
would handle hardware-accelerated rendering. Then some webcams or controllers won’t be accessible though. This one’s a bit complicated, since the necessary portals for e.g. generic USB device access aren’t yet there.To 2.: portals should be used instead of that. Using them doesn’t require these permissions.
To 3.: click on details and see. This is Flathub making it easy to understand for users.
Permissions should make clear whatever dangerous things an app can do. If not, why do all this effort of isolation? Firefox could delete everything in downloads, either by accident on Mozilla’s side, or a privilege escalation. If the app used portals instead, it couldn’t, at least without user interaction. Or a browser security vulnerability could open up any USB devices to webpages. It’s all about what could happen with granted permissions. And these can 100 % be fixed in at least some way.

Well you do you. I don’t see the point in hating open source software made by them, you’re not paying them unlike with regular products and boycotting them.
You’re complaining about corporate fundings. Without them, a lot of open source tech would definitely not be as advanced as it is today. Since everything’s open source, anyone can just fork a project when some “malicious megacorp” “hijacks” the project. Funny how a similar case happened “the good way” recently with Redis/Valkey, but the other way around.
There’s always some doomers only seeing potential bad futures in awesome stuff, huh?

It’s been pretty solid for me. It’s also not a GNOME shell extension, instead a native app.
It does something different and doesn’t ask to replace sudo everywhere. You brainless trashtalkers can’t even read an article before you judge.
some people need to grow up lol
early boot stages?
