Why are you even bothering dude? Just back up your data and install it fresh. You’ll be done in 30 minutes.

Why do people on the internet think you don’t have to shave if you have a beard? You’re just shaving less area.

It thinks it’s people.

Or maybe this is the UK. I constantly see cars driving on segregated paths and parking illegally and nobody cares.

Europe should divest completely from Microsoft, Oracle and Google.

What a joke. The Guardian was captured by the establishment after Snowden and now just reprints security state PR notices.

Man just when audio in Linux got decently stable and functional, now we have to switch to some new shit. I run Ubuntu 23.10 that has pipewire and mostly it works but then sometimes it starts crackling, audio turns on and off, skipping, or random muting.

I’m getting so fucking fed up with these stupid Linux desktop pre-alpha software that take a decade to stabilize and by then we’re off to the brand new thing that barely functions.

Indeed. Until they a bit too popular and then miraculously a sinister connection to the CCP will appear out of nowhere.

It’s dead everywhere else because they can’t use Google Play Services.

Anyway, I don’t think the goal of US actions is ever to stop or kill anything completely. After all there’s money to be made in the “problem” coming back again and again.

I think this is an important point people who mock the US don’t get.

After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).

I don’t get it, doesn’t NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?

To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.

You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.

You don’t need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.

I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.

It does because energy is very expensive in the UK.

315k GBP for a 2br ‘period property’ (aka a disgusting dilapidated horder house with the energy efficiency of a tent)

Figure in another 100k and a year to fix it, due to how UK contractors work.

How about option 3: Musk’s success relies heavily on remaining visible in the media, so he does and says stupid shit to keep us talking about him and his companies. And we’re being absolute morons and doing exactly what he wants.

Not sure what this has to do with technology.

Because OP is looking for security isolation, which isn’t what containers are for. Much like an umbrella stops rain, but not bullets. You fool.

Containers are meant to simplify operational aspects of development and deployment. For proper isolation you should use virtual machines.

I’ve tried GNOME 45 extensively and I just don’t see how it’s better.

Even looking at the screenshots I don’t understand how GNOME 45 is better than GNOME 2. It doesn’t even LOOK better. You need extensions to get basic functionality like a window list and tray icons.

Then there’s the bad parts, like every window now has different decorations, doesn’t work with nvidia, etc.

There’s nothing wrong with angryposting, but it needs a kernel of truth which this is missing.

Well let’s see

• Doesn’t work with nvidia, the leading vendor of graphics cards
• Drops support for a huge set of diverse window managers and applications
• Reimplements X11 functionality over shitbus, an incomprehensible nightmare
• sandboxing security designed to enable Windows/Android like apps where users run random proprietary malware
• Promoted for purely idiotic reasons like like “circular windows”

I could go on…

Turn it off, take the battery out, snap it in half, throw it in the bin.
