N.E.P.T.R

Basically, its a customization of Fedora Workstation with Steam, Proton GE, and some system tweaks for better gaming support.

Idk, but I just enable intelligent autohide.

Docker is good when combined with gVisor runtime for better isolation.

Sydbox OCI runtime is also cool and faster than gVisor (both are quick)

Linux Mint is built on top of Ubuntu, which itself was a fork of Debian. Ubuntu is not something I would call a “clean base”. It is clunky, slow to adopt new technologies, and very (Canonical) opinionated. Linux Mint actively works against its Ubuntu base by removing Snap and other Canonical weirdness.

Tumbleweed and Leap offer the option to add or remove ANY package from your system before you even install it through their GUI installer, actually 2 GUI package choosers for either simple or advanced users. I don’t think it is accurate to suggest that Linux Mint is minimalist with its packages, especially when comparing to openSUSE distros.

I will not argue against Linux Mint being user friendly, it is pretty good. But “not bloated”, especially when comparing against openSUSE, is inaccurate.

How is Linux Mint less bloated? Linux Mint also suffers from poor Wayland support and isnt a (semi-)rolling release distro like Fedora or Tumbleweed. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone other than people who are tech iliterate. Even then, I would still suggest VanillaOS or Fedora Workstation. I used Mint as my daily driver for a year and it was fine, nothing amazing.

Bazzite is a good distro, I convinced a friend to move to Linux from Windows 10 and Bazzite was the only one that worked well with their nvidia hardware.

Fixed

Since SteamOS isnt available on desktop, check out these distros instead:

Bazzite (the best option)

Nobara (another good option)

Waydroid run a rootful LXC container and removes disables much of Android’s security (for example SELinux). With a container escape, an attack could trivially gain root on the host.

That sounds awful. I’m sorry your experience on Linux was filled with troubleshooting. Sounds like hardware issues.

My favorite distros at the moment for “ease of use” is Fedora Workstation or Fedora Silverblue. They have a large user base and are well supported, making it easier to fix problems, which personally I have experienced very little.

No one has until they look at distro watch /j

Some made a pull request with all the changes made already. The issue that the PR addressed was the excessive use of he/him in the docs when referring to developers (aka the person reading the docs). Contributors expressed that they didnt think using male only pronouns in the docs made much sense when referring to any developer reading the docs. This wasn’t some entitled person trying to force the ladybird dev to rewrite the docs, all they needed to do was merge the changes.

Thought so. Thanks for the reply.

This isnt for you, nor for me. I don’t need an AI-capable chip, I could just use my GPU if for some reason I wanted to run a local transformer model.

In addition, on that website under “Manual>Troubleshooting”, the manual states the following:

Bwrap error on initialization (Ubuntu)

If Nyxt crashes on start due to bwrap, then disable or configure the apparmor service.

This vague wording is terrible advice. Disabling AppArmor outright destroys Snap sandboxing and the general security of your operating system. Configuring AppArmor is a better option, but a specific should be given as an example.

For example, from the readme file on Cromite’s Github repo:

“”" 1. Creating an apparmor profile for cromite

Create /etc/apparmor.d/chrome, and write:

abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>
profile cromite /home/user/cromite/chrome-lin/chrome flags=(unconfined) {
userns,
include if exists <local/chrome>
}

replacing the cromite binary path with where you have placed cromite.

Now, run sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/cromite to apply the changes.

2. Disabling the restriction until next reboot

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

3. Disabling the restriction permanently

Add kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0 to the file /etc/sysctl.d 60-apparmor-namespace.conf. Create the file if not exists. “”"

EDIT: I hate trying to get Lemmy to format multiline code blocks.

Currently only supports WebKit and Blink (experimental) as underlying browser renderers. The description of the browser starting with the words “Nyxt is a browser with deeply integrated AI […]” is a turn-off for me. If it is for powerusers, call it what it is. It could be a LLM or some algorithm, idk.

I may check it in a year. For now, for Blink (Chromium) engine use Cromite browser + uBlock Origin Lite, for Gecko (Firefox) use Librewolf or Mullvad browsers.

The browser app is the only program where (to me) Security/Privacy fully supersedes any concerns customizability and usability.

They do other things than just hangings. I wouldn’t suggest that executive punishment is a solution to crime rates, just look at the USA.

I understand the Cinnamon is a DE. I was asking how is Wayland support on Cinnamon these days. X11 is unmaintained and insecure so I avoid Linux Mint (Cinnamon is the only desktop environment that has Wayland)

How is Wayland on Cinnamon?
