I use this every day with Firefox and Librefox with no issues.

I believe you can run one of the ujust scripts to add all the same dev tooling to Bazzite.

I have a Steam Deck for my gaming, which is funnily enough the thing that got me into Linux in the first place.

22 hours battery life.

AMD.

Slim, gorgeous. Runs Linux like a champ.

I have bought only Asus for my last 4 laptops (previously I was Thinkpad), and I have never regretted any of them. Since switching from Windows to Linux earlier this year (Aurora-DX) I have had no issues.

If you want to go even smaller and lighter, this one is awesome but is Intel and doesn’t have as long battery life.

Thank you for posting this - I have had a play and it’s excellent.

I am a newbie in the Linux world and have been looking for something to replace the excellent WinSCP. XPipe is the first application I’ve used on Linux that actually makes remote SSH/SCP browsing easy to do, while still being able to handle more complicated SSH auth than just user/pass.

Not the FIPS one, I use the normal 5 series.

Yubikeys are great because you can also add your TOTP codes on there, but require a physical touch to generate the codes.

You can do that with other products like the NitroKey as well, but the implementation is not as good - example the secrets are not encrypted on the NitroKey.

Try Aurora.

Everything I’ve tried to install has all been point and click using flatpaks.

If you’re into gaming, use Bazzite instead, which comes with all the gaming stuff pre installed.

I assumed that yubikeys would be found pretty much only in enterprise environments but perhaps I was wrong there.

As a datapoint, I am a home user and use Yubikeys. For example, they are one of the 2FA options supported by Bitwarden for home users.

I have recently trialed both NitroKey and OnlyKey to see if I’d want to replace my Yubikey with either of those, but the Yubikey is sadly superior. (Sadly because it’s not as open as those other two options.)

Until immutable distros can easily solve installing certain software

So… it’s easily solved then?

I’m running ProtonVPN on Bluefin from a flatpak with zero issues.

stores my notes metadata in proprietary database format?

Obsidian note metadata is stored in YAML in the markdown note file itself. That’s about as non-proprietary as it gets.

Not sure why you hate Obsidian. I don’t love it and would switch to a FOSS alternative if there was something comparable, but at least I’m not making crap up about it.

It makes for very handy use cases where other applications can work on the same data. This could be easily adding content into your notes (without needing an API to do so), using external editors for working on certain aspects of your notes, or even just the super handy convenience of having everything in one directory structure.

My Obsidian notes are right inside the same folders as the PDFs and other resources they refer to. I don’t have to have a tree structure inside my notes and then the same tree structure in my hard drive or Dropbox or wherever with all my other files.

I was a 10+ year Evernote veteran, and I couldn’t go back to the single DB style like Evernote or Trillium. I wish there was an open source competitor to Obsidian, but alas not yet.

And as @acockworkorange@mander.xyz rightly points out, people (me!) have been burned in the past by a program becoming obsolete and having your files stuck in some proprietary format. Plain files right in a folder on the disk is the way to go.

I mean in your linked thread it says:

I have some 15K notes in Obsidian and it runs fine.

I personally have 4000+ notes in Obsidian and it runs fine 🤷

Here’s also Obsidian with 100,000 notes and it performs fine. This test is also 2 years out of date.

Add in the local REST API as well if you want to easily interact with your notes programmatically:

They might be talking about posts like this (which I would love to have refuted, as this kind of info has so far kept me from using Docker significantly):

https://security.stackexchange.com/a/169649

Containers are isolated from the host by default.

Are you certain about that? My understanding is that Docker containers are literally just processes running on the host (ideally rootless), but with no isolation in the way that VMs are isolated from the host.

If you have some links for further reading it would be great, as I have been extremely cautious with my Docker usage so far.

I haven’t found anything to refute this, but this post from 2017 states:

In 2017 alone, 434 linux kernel exploits were found, and as you have seen in this post, kernel exploits can be devastating for containerized environments. This is because containers share the same kernel as the host, thus trusting the built-in protection mechanisms alone isn’t sufficient.

If someone exploits a kernel bug inside a container, they exploited it on the host OS. If this exploit allows for code execution, it will be executed on the host OS, not inside the container.

If this exploit allows for arbitrary memory access, the attacker can change or read any data for any other container.

It was for me. Been using Windows for 20 years, installed Aurora after all the MS craziness this year and haven’t looked back.

In my case it’s turned out to be a whole lot better - my laptop runs cooler, battery last about twice as long, and I no longer have any issues with going to sleep when I close the lid.

🙄 Sounds a lot like this classic example where residents complained about headaches, rashes, nausea, tinnitus, etc from a cell tower, only for it to be revealed that it was not powered up:

https://mybroadband.co.za/news/wireless/11099-massive-revelation-in-iburst-tower-battle.html

“Headaches, nausea, tinnitus, dry burning itchy skins, gastric imbalances and totally disrupted sleep patterns…”

At the meeting Van Zyl agreed to turn off the tower with immediate effect to assess whether the health problems described by some of the residents subsided. What Craigavon residents were unaware of is that the tower had already been switched off in early October – six weeks before the November meeting where residents confirmed the continued ailments they experienced.

WineDB says all their apps are “Garbage” status - eg does not run.
