The biggest reason why I don’t want maintain so many Vms is, because all the maintenance and updates that involve doing so.

According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_(operating_system)

Tails was first released on June 23, 2009. It is the next iteration of development on Incognito, a discontinued Gentoo-based Linux distribution.[9] The original project was called Amnesia. The operating system was born when Amnesia was merged with Incognito.[10] The Tor Project provided financial support for its development in the beginnings of the project.[8] Tails also received funding from the Open Technology Fund, Mozilla, and the Freedom of the Press Foundation.[11]

But this statement is splitting the Linux community. xD

The biggest threat to the Linux Community is the Linux Community itself.

It’s just bunch of commands run with a single call, an automation. As long as I know exactly what each command is doing and if I wrote the alias myself, then I think its not a problem. What problem do you see with an update-alias such as I did there? The update-command does exactly that, it updates the box with all relevant package managers.

However if other people are also using the box, then its obviously a different situation. I wouldn’t want to be reckless in the operation either; respect other users, even if you can do whatever you want.

Davies Media Design is a fantastic channel. Additionally here are links from the developers:

• Milestones of the source code: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/milestones

You mean https://www.android-x86.org/ ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android-x86

Wow that is probably the longest update cycle I ever heard of any Arch user. :D Nothing wrong with it, its just unusual.

Thanks for posting. But isn’t this a bit too much for every time you update your system? Like rebuilding the mirrolist each time?

The initial problem with Flatpak thinking it would be a good idea to add dozens of Nvidia drivers and re-download and update all of them on every update (causing a few gigabytes of downloaded files on every run of a normal flatpak update even if nothing needed to be updated)

100% agree! Up until last year I was also using Nvidia and the Flatpak drivers for Nvidia got out of hand. I was using just a handful of applications in Flatpak, yet I had 6 different versions of the driver, each 350 MB and every of them was downloaded fully and updated every time. And that is besides other updates and other stuff. I would have needed your function so badly back then. :D

I don’t know the answer for sure, but think the global settings are like default settings. Each application can have different overrides. Not sure if the following is the correct quote to make, but sounds like this is how it works: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-command-reference.html#flatpak-override

flatpak-override — Override application requirements

If the application ID APP is not specified then the overrides affect all applications, but the per-application overrides can override the global overrides.

I assume you know Flatseal (GUI application for Flatpak permissions), right? After installation of a Flatpak app, you can go to the Flatseal settings and make sure to disable access if the application enabled anything you don’t like. I do not think there is an automatic way to force a specific setting for all applications. You have to deal with this per application. But I can be wrong here.

That’s the entire joke. It makes sense BTW. Just because Rust is in the Kernel, we blame it for the problems. Especially spicy, because it is meant to make it more secure. The opposite effect is here the joke. You may not find it funny, but it makes perfectly sense as a joke.

Maybe no one can improve on OpenSuse. It’s also one of the lesser known distributions and wasn’t much talked for long time. Maybe there is not much to fork on, because OpenSuse basically does everything and satisfies most people.

Debian in example its hard to get into and make changes, and did not accept lot of packages in example. That means lot of people wanted to have an alternative. Debian is also opinionated and slow on updates, so there is lot of things people want to have it differently. And on Archlinux, its basically barebones distribution where lot of manual work is required to set it up. Its basically the perfect base distribution to fork on or derive from.

There are actually a few: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg

Where did I say a special version of games is needed??? I’m well aware of what and how the Steam Deck, its operating system and underlying technologies work. I didn’t say it NEEDS a special version.

No, and I explained multiple times why. You just keep ignoring what I wrote and take things out of context without having an understanding of the statement. It’s not “my idea”, but I’m done with stupidity.

Yeah too stupid to understand basic sentences. Can’t do more than that, the understanding is on your part.

I’m not wrong, I explained why I consider the Steam Deck its own thing. Please read my replies before you spread such nonsense. (Edit: Steam Deck is not just a PC, its a handheld and its a target for developers. That makes it special and is not a good representation for PC. Hopefully your small brain got that.)

wow

I give up. Its no use.

From the replies, that’s what I’m getting, as people really try hard to misunderstand a very simple fact I explained multiple times. I tried too, but can’t do more. And even taking out quotes out of context, while the next sentence was part of it. That’s pretty on purpose.

I don’t know if you guys misunderstand me on purpose. My argumentation was about the initial comment that the Steam Deck does not represent PC very well. You just took one sentence out of context, where the previous part and following part is integratel part of my reply. I did not just add more words to it, i Just had to explain it later because its not understood. The full quote is:

Because Steam Deck is not just a PC and cannot share the same enjoyment and benefits of a regular PC, because its a handheld. I believe the Steam Deck should be handled as its own class of hardware, like a console is and do a PC showcase on its own.

It’s just a simple explanation that you guys on purpose misunderstand. The Steam Deck does not represent PC very well on its own, because its not just a PC. It’s more than its sum. It’s not a new discussion either, this is going on since the launch of the system.
