I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that. (programming.dev)
Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don’t you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?...
what foss phone OS do you use and why?
I was thinking about using graphene OS, but I’ve read some lemmy users dislike this OS due to perceived misleading advertising and the pixel 7a you’re supposed to install graphene on because it’s from google (an advertising company)....
The anti-AI sentiment in the free software communities is concerning. (lemmy.world)
Whenever AI is mentioned lots of people in the Linux space immediately react negatively. Creators like TheLinuxExperiment on YouTube always feel the need to add a disclaimer that “some people think AI is problematic” or something along those lines if an AI topic is discussed. I get that AI has many problems but at the same...
Nostalgic Distros?
I tired Linux a few times in the past, but didn’t really start using seriously until 2019. I love poking around old OSs and distros, and I want to spin a few up in some VMs my next free evening....
Any good Debian-based OS for a laptop?
I’m planning to put Debian-based operating system onto my Surface Laptop Gen 1, following the guide (linux-surface). Any good Debian-based Linux recommendations? For now I’m considering AntiX (lightweight debian) and normal Debian....

Wayland tiling compositor that will work okay with nvidia?
I understand that nvidia support for wayland is lacking, but I know it’s possible....
What is the appeal of a binary-tree only in a tiling window manager (bspwm) vs. nested splits (i3 and sway)?
Bspwm has many appeals, and I do not want to focus on those. I want to focus on binary-tree separation of windows and its benefits vs alternatives. What’s the appeal?...
Do all DEs store the trash in the same place?
On Cinnamon and LxQt, the trash is in ~/.local/share/Trash. Is it the same for all desktop environments?
Decision of Next Os
I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I’ve decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That’s because of users, not OS… right? I love to deal with problems but I don’t...
Linux kernel Rust coding guidelines are heretic.
Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters. There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3....

CAD Software Suggestion
I am currently on win10 but have been toying with mint and liking it. I intend on fully switching over soon. I have also been toying with the idea of some simple 3D modeling, like making custom parts for projects around my house. Maybe using a CAD software to generate stls for a 3D print or using it to spec out parts for a...

Muscle memory is causing all kinds of problems.

Curious from people who follow its development closely....
If all kernel bugs are security bugs, how do you keep your Linux safe? (www.zdnet.com)
Are there any things in Linux that need to be started over from scratch?
I’m curious how software can be created and evolve over time. I’m afraid that at some point, we’ll realize there are issues with the software we’re using that can only be remedied by massive changes or a complete rewrite....

Linux on an 8-bit micro? - Dmitry.GR (www.dmitry.gr)
Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?
I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...
Do you daily drive Wayland, if so since when, if not when will you?
I’ve been on Wayland for the past two years exclusively (Nvidia)....
