Same here. Ir’s very bloated. You can decide on what to install,but if you do install all that bloat,you need to be prepared. I tried their AMD GPU overclock tool and after a got a black screen, I ended up with missing packages. Immediately went back to Arch.

Edit:words

VSCodium is cool though. All the goodness of VSC,sans the “trash”.

I calculate percentage like this. If 100% is the value, then I know what 10% is, then1%, so I do increments of both until I get to the correct value.

It may sound stupid,but it does help me get a % fast enough.

In my head it’s infuriating just cause it’s showing the cold harsh truth about the world. Humanitarian aid is still a thing. I hope…

Could be less or more infuriating, depending on perspective.

I don’t particularly hate epic,but ~90% of my games are on steam,so I don’t really install the rest cause I don’t need to.

that being said,I will buy it when and if it comes to steam. if not,oh well…

archinstall is the best. I’ve been using it out of laziness for a while and it’s downright amazing.

isn’t Garuda an arch based distro? technically it’s not a standalone distro,but a customized arch,so I can’t see them as Gentoo,arch,fedora(rhel), debian. same is Ubuntu for example.

He should stick to Linux distros and his emacs stuff. This kind of content isn’t appropriate for him or representative of his channel really.

I think he learned from this,cause this is a rather old video and I no longer see any other sort of content like it on his channel.

Oh man,that and hotbot.

Of course they are. they share dependencies with other software. flatpaks bundle all dependencies,which is great for sandboxing,even though some sort of break the rule and share some,they are still sandboxed.

Unless you “firejail” or “bubblewrap” your software, security is much better OOB for flatpaks.

No hate from me,but rather a simple question? Why use preconfigured distros instead of the original,always best, with archinstall script? You can even install pamac or whatever package installer tool manjaro uses.

Have a look at Dwarf Fortress too. It could melt your brain.

While I admit most of my arch reinstalls are mostly the same,I feel that archinstall script is genuinely good now with most defaults I need. The rest I can just add it in the installer extra packages or chroot post install (which is offered as a choice at the end).

I just could never bring myself to use distros that are technically the same distro with calamares slapped in top and whatnot. I mean ‘pacman -S {packages}’ is straightforward enough for me.

I mean…you’re mostly right, but I don’t know how setting a few flags like -H,-W,-h,-w is that big of an issue. I agree lutris and maybe heroic (I don’t use) have frontends for these,but I would hardly that “way better”.

Edit: grammar,typos

I can’t even tell the difference between components. It’s a very confusing ui.

I’ve been distro hopping a bit lately trying out some immutable distros like nix,fedora kinoite,microos,but I always end up back on arch. I think that settles it and I should just stop,cause distro hopping is a waste of time.

I’d give Elly 1$ to suck that pedia.

I always check my flatpak settings post install before running the app and adjust permissions according to need. I mean it does offer more security to me since it’s user installed, I can granularly update permissions and control more or less where and what is can touch.

Alternatives to this are SELinux,AppArmour and firejails which are slightly more inconvenient to use.

To me that is mostly secure,or secure enough.

Well and then there’s some immutable distros which might help overall.

Edit: paragraphs

I’m a long time arch with plasma user and recently tried arch with gnome and couldn’t get into it, so decided to try something new so I switched to Fedora Kinoite and yes, updates are incredibly slow. I mean it’s ridiculous really when compared to arch, but the distro seems solid ( curious how long I’ll last before inevitably going back to arch).

Wonder if musl is fine. If so,Void people are certainly having fun now.
