I’m not the creator of the survey, but I’ve just send them the link to this discussion on Mastodon, so they can take the feedback into account.

There’s an issue with posts about which games work and which don’t.
Thanks for the correction. It’s a shame that sysadmins balcklist middle nodes too, since they won’t see any TOR traffic originating from your IP address anyway.
Make sure to not refresh the page, else it seems like all progress is lost.
I found out simultaneously that I enabled pull down to refresh the page in Firefox Android.
Edit: The survey wasn’t created by me, I just shared it.
There’s different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don’t face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.
Agreed. It seems like Nvidia is under pressure by their commercial customers for better, directly integrated open source drivers.
There is alot of demand for this kind of simplified virtualization infrastructure in the host side.
It’d be great of this meant SR-IOV for all GPUs, but this seems like it only allows for sharing of a GPU to multiple guests. And even then, with most of the driver being on the GPU this might not help regular consumer GPUs at all (features being disabled in firmware). But I really don’t know anything about what this actually means.
Blender and DaVinci Resolve work better on Nvidia. AMD might work, but it will be a hassle and you’ll likely need the proprietary AMD drivers anyway.
With Nvidia supporting Wayland and the open-source NVK continuing to get better, you could even switch to open source drivers for gaming at some point, if you prefer.
Edit: I’ve had enough issues with AMD GPU’s clocking down while gaming, leading to micro stuttering. So don’t buy AMD just because everyone tells you they work flawlessly.
For CPU and mainboard, everything works well — just don’t buy a random unknown SSD from Amazon, then you’re asking for data loss and random issues.
Yes, there’s many ways to make programs unable to use other network interfaces. E.g. I’m creating a network namespace with a single wg0 interface, which I make services use through systemd NetworkNamespacePath.
That said, I’d argue gluetun is pretty much foolproof, especially with most people using docker which messes with iptables (edit: although I don’t know if this’d be an issue for this use case).
I really wonder how you managed to uninstall nix. Editing configuration.nix shouldn’t even allow for removing .nix…
Anyway, this post made me remember why I used btrfs for my new btrfs system.
Good idea to write a function, I’ll do that right now. Over the last few weeks I’ve been regularly doing the Ctrl+Z, bg, disown, which does get old pretty quickly. At least I now remember the terms and don’t have to search for them each time I need it :D
I believe the advantage is that old drivers still work as they are all in the kernel. With them sharing much code it’s not even that big of a disk space issue. Edit: A more dynamic approach would be great though, especially with this size issue popping up.
In a way it’s great that I’m able to replace any part of my system and it just works without me having to make sure the old GPU driver doesn’t leave some traces behind–altough while writing this the latter part shouldn’t be an issue with Windows auto download and installation of drivers.
Yeah, I’m not sure whether Bitwarden always had support for exporting the vault on mobile, but it’s an awesome feature.
They are evaluating different ways to continue to support ad blocking. E.g. “unbraving” Brave Browser, or just implementing their adblock-rust.
They most likely won’t support MV2, since it would get increasingly difficult with each update to Chromium.

Creating a wayland compositor based in wlroots is much more work than an X11 window manager. And then there’s quite a bit of work to keep up with new Wayland protocols.
But I personally don’t think there’s a need for more compositors, since the existing compositors do support all kinds of tiling.
E.g. river has custom layout providers, which allows for creating completely custom tiling behaviour. There’s even a hyprland plugin which implements river-layout-v3.
I got the first part about Chrome as a joke, but after I read the edit I wasn’t sure anymore.
But seriously, Firefox kind of sucks.
Why do you think that? I’m happy with Firefox. It let’s me customize the tabs bar through userConfig.css
to exclusively use tree style tabs and supports uBlock. That’s all I really need from a browser, but, sadly, all other browser only support basic vertical tabs.
A lot of edge lovers here
I guess many here don’t particularly like Chrome, just like they don’t like Edge.
I.e. using a browser that spies on you to download another browser that spies on you doesn’t seem like a great deal to me.
Both being based on Chromium there isn’t even any performance difference between them. Insert “they are the same picture”-meme.
After using Fedora Atomic for around a year, I’ve switched my mom over from Linux Mint. Since then a few years’ve gone by and there’s been no issues with automatic updates failing or not applying. That’s awesome compared to regular issues with dpkg errors because of shutdown/power loss while updating.
Obviously release upgrades still require manual intervention, but that’s an hour once a year for updating and testing if everything works as it should.
Personally I’ve switched to NixOS, because even with ublue image-based OS aren’t great for configuring window managers. In general, image-based OS are especially awesome for long-running, low maintenance systems. I wouldn’t want to use an OS which doesn’t provide some kind of rollbacks anymore (btrfs snapshots is the minimum).
Edit:
Do you feel it’s worth it to learn the nuances of their use?
Fedora Atomic is almost identical to regular Fedora, the difference is mostly how the root filesystem is managed:
The former are files from rpms get copied to an ostree image, which then gets mounted as the root file system.
For the latter dnf copies files from rpms to the root file system.
[…] did you manage to properly run AppImages […]
They always worked flawlessly on everything except NixOS (because of no FHS-layout). Through distrobox they should work on any distro.
[…] trying to install Outline VPN […]).
These kinds of not properly packaged apps are a big issue with ostree based systems. VPN provider apps need to be natively installed and usually aren’t available in repos.
Transcoding and transcoded downloads does not seem to be merged yet, altough there’s a working PR.
Blocking incoming traffic and accepting outgoing traffic is usually the default for distributions anyway.
