  • The steam deck uses the desktop environment called KDE Plasma if I remember correctly. I recommend using the Fedora KDE spin since, right after Debian, most apps will support Fedora. It is user friendly, feature rich, stable, secure (with massive community and corporate backing for timely Security updates), and simple.

    Dual booting is a smart decision. If you opt to dual-boot, I recommend encrypting your system through the built-in OS installer. This stops Windows (or malicious software) from spying on your new install. It is also just a good idea in general.

    Pop!OS doesn’t yet support Wayland, which supersedes the old and slow X11 with better security (on X11, any app can capture what you type, their is no isolation).

    Bazzite seems neat but I wouldn’t go for a gaming focused distros in my experience.

    Canonical, Ubuntu’s parent company, is trying hard to create a closed ecosystem. Even though Ubuntu is Debian based, they are making it hard to install native applications, instead enforcing the use of Snap, which uses a closed-source backend to provide the app repository. Snaps are also slower than native or Flatpak apps.

    If you need any help, explanations, suggestions, or other thoughts about Linux, I am willing to help best I can or point you in the right direction. Ive installed linux maybe 50+ times on most of the major families of distros (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch Linux, and some others), and have personally used many distributions that are derivative of these. I’m not like crazy experienced, just familiar (with a focus on Security).



  • Sorry, misunderstood. Proxmox Free broke my containers on updating a while ago.

    Now I use Docker-style application containerizing, but I think LXC (the base technology powering Incus/LXD) is useful in a number of situations and perfectly viable for use. I think Incus-containerized applications are easier to upgrade individually (like software updates of your apps, no need to recreate the container image) and gives a closer to native experience of managing. You do lose out on automated deployment of applications from widely available image sources like docker.io, but the convenience-loss is minimal.

    They exist in capitalist limbo and serve as an example by which the system can keep everyone “above” fearful and hateful of them. Hate them for “leeching” but fear of becoming them. Disabled folk either can’t work or can (kinda) but are forced to stay poor to receive assistance. There are two distinct social classes I have observed: the “subhuman” class (as in they are treated as less than human) that the System keeps unproductive and pays for lossing out on their labour, and workering class (producers). The poor, homeless, disabled, queer, black, prisoners, and felonies are some of the people who are forced to be unproductive to keep “more fortunate” workers from joining in revolt. It is a technique of rulers to keep the System stable.

    Whether it be Snapchat or Canonical snap, fuck em’ both.

    Fuck the gov snap program for not being enough assistance (thanks Reagan and associates) and forcing people to stay very poor to receive much needed assistance. Manipulative is the word that comes to mind.





  • While I like the pic, I suspect it is AI generated. The hints I have are the (out of place) realistic texturing on the face, hands, and flower petals, as well as the one finger on the left side (right hand) which merges into a plant leaf with a gradient change. I obvi know it isn’t real, just trying to figure out if it is AI or Photoshop, and I’m guessing AI.
