Documentation about documentation, hehehe

Yes, that is true.

Thought, even this remains problematic because cargo does execute build/compile time scripts, unsandboxed, that can be used to do malicious things, similar to the problems with npm.

Rust

Rust is doing pretty poorly right now.

among the 999 most popular crates on crates.io, around 17% contained code that do not match their code repository.

Rust programs that are compiled with cargo, when compiled as dependencies of another program or when compiling a binary itself, can execute arbitrary code via build time scripts, and they are executed unsandboxed. This is a security nightmare.

push whatever you want to an NPM package if you have the author’s login

This is how all language package managers work, unfortunately. The login’s security can be improved, via things like 2fa, but it’s currently very bad. Having multiple parties use keys to sign packages after reviewing all changes, is a thing unique to distro package managers, and it is why Linux distros are extremely resilient against supply chain attacks.

This is sick. Have you considered adding a local translation feature?

Just because they don’t know what it is doens’t mean your school doesn’t have it. My school is similar. They get VDI by partnering with an external organization.

First thing you should check is if the school offers VDI - Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.

My college has VDI, where you can access a GPU accelerated Windows machine from your browser, preinstalled with tools like Autocad, Photoshop, and other stuff.

If your school doesn’t, then you should look at options like VM’s. The problem, however, is that CAD and a lot of other software is GPU intensive, and simply using it in a VM might be too slow for practical usage.

Waydroid is way nicer.

Okay, I hath returned.

So I used to play a game called krunker.io. It was browser game, but I would use a native, electron based client. I spent a lot of time tinkering to figure out what options would maximize performance, and because I had a laptop with an Nvidia gpu, a few special flags were needed. Here was the full command that I would run to run the client:

gamemoderun prime-run ./crankshaft-portable-linux-x86_64.AppImage -no-sandbox --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers --enable-zero-copy --disable-gpu-vsync --disable-frame-rate-limit --ozone-platform-hint=wayland > /dev/null 2>&1

You probably don’t want gamemoderun. But you can play with the rest of the flags there. I don’t remember what was needed and what was there for performance. I’m pretty sure that the first two arguments there were needed though.

I know this issue, I had a similer issue trying to get the client for krunker.io working with my nvidia gpu. I might have the solution saved somewhere, this comment is so I can remind myself to check.

Yes, but there is something important to remember.

By default, most Linux installs put there kernels in /boot, which is not on the btrfs partition. This is not an issue on distros that keep multiple kernel versions, but it can cause issues on distros that only provide one kernel version (Arch and Arch based distros).

Because the kernels are not stored on the btrfs partition, they are not restored by btrfs snapshots. And if the rest of the system, including kernel modules, are a mismatched version due to restoration, then it means your system is unbootable.

A simpler fix is to install ArchLinux’s linux-tls package, which is the stable version of Linux that doesn’t update constantly.

But what I do to get around this, I put /boot on the btrfs partition, and /boot/efi is the seperate efi partition where grub is installed. Then, kernels are restored when I restore a snapshot.

This is an interactive, guided docker course in your browser.

Of course, docker is easy to install and use on a Linux system.

I would say the big thing that might give you trouble is not the init system, but NetworkManager. NetworkManager is the… network management software (wow who woulda guessed?) used on desktop linux distros.

People have many criticisms of it, that are similar to criticisms applied to systemd (it’s also Red Hat software), so I see my friends switching to iwd, wpa_supplicant, or other alternatives when trying something other than systemd as well.

It gives them a lot of pain. None of the other alternatives are as reliable as NetworkManager when it comes to connecting to Wifi. Switching away from Systemd shouldn’t be too hard, but NetworkManager is much tougher to give up. Thankfully, you can run NetworkManager on non-systemd setups.

If you use kde, you can search for “profile manager”, and it will show up, and can be launched from the app menu.

At least works for me. Before this was added, the KDE search/app menu also lets you run commands directly, so I would just run firefox -p in there. No need for a terminal.

It’s codeberg pages… It is generated directly from codeberg, which has doesn’t allow private repos.

Interesting.

I spun up a test, and it doesn’t let you edit encrypted notes :(. It’s so nice though, I might be willing to give it up e2ee for less sensitive data.

No, because proton is not Windows. Wine only works on Linux, so it’s actually a Linux platform. I consider every developer/publisher who targets proton to actually be targeting Linux, rather than windows. Every single time a windows update breaks something that continues to work on proton I laugh

Yes but the steam runtime is basically an entire Linux installation (that never gets updated) that valve drags onto your system. I found it greatly annoying when I wanted to use Steam Input (because that would make Nintendo Switch pro controllers work) on a laptop with 32 gb of storage and steam dragged along 4 gb of ubuntu that I was never going to touch (since I was playing games outside of steam using wine directly).
