Reducing the attack surface with Gentoo … (I see myself out)

Actually, I use Debian stable on servers by default, only when clients request Ubuntu, I help them admin it. I would never pick Ubuntu for the desktop. Debian and Fedora do a better job being closer to upstream. And: there are snaps which I want to avoid on the desktop.

same unstable stuff with my onboard sound and I am close to buying an external soundcard, because I want surround, anyway

2. I would treat this as a hypothesis and answer: “Debian”

/ are also not valid for ISO-8601

At this point I am afraid to ask: Will it finally have GPG and S/MIME support? Otherwise it is just a nice looking program with no use. (:

I use 1.5-2x the swap on new installations these days. I want hibernate to always work.

I close my browser before hibernating; more lifetime for my SSD that way and it is faster, too.

do you encrypt your swap drive? would this work with LUKS?

I sometimes cannot do hibernate when I did a scrub on my ZFS. But the first try always frees up the swap and so the second attempts works every time.

thx, that sound promising. I’ll have a look at the noctalia control center.

thx, that certainly informs my decision.

Could it look close to gnome-shell? And how well does it integrate with all the xdg-desktop stuff?

I am currently using gdm/gnome/PaperWM because I like the comfort of having all the gnome tooling for everyday use. Can the gnome-control-center still be used with Noctalia?

Thanks for telling us; I’ve tried to live with Epiphany for a while but had to move to Firefox for compatibility to certain websites.

If Orion is using GTK4, this looks like a new/second/third/fourth attempt to moving to WebKit. (:

If I would use my private mobile computer from Lenovo more and it would break today, I would definitly look at a Framework. They look so nice and set themselfs apart from so many other computers.

My work laptop is also Lenovo; Framework is just too expensive to get it as work laptop (even before the ramcolypse); maybe in 5 years I can ask for one. ^^

The so-called desktop integration is what I disable in vim. I want to have the terminal in control and use select text to copy instead of entering visual mode. When I want visual mode, I use my keyboard. (:

Oh, but you have variants of Ubuntu. Do you have them, because there are technically not part of Canonical? This, I would understand.

For me, CloneZilla is a sysadmin tool. Wouldn’t have guessed that they don’t have a SVG version of their logo.

Did you forget about Clonezilla, Fedora Silverblue and their other variants?

My personal S-tier is Debian stable.

I delete older ones as soon I downloaded a new one. I guess, my isos take well below ~15 GB of space. It is only Debian, Fedora and Gentoo afterall.

Yeah, Silverblue is nice; not my main distro, though. I came from many years of Gentoo on almost all machines I had. Debian stable is currently the most practical for me.

The immutable variant of Fedora is nice for the low maintenance computers, although I needed to get my head around podman to not overuse rpm-ostree. So far so good. I think it will not replace the distro on my main machine, but I see the way it works as a general potential future. An immutable variant of Debian stable would be something I’d consider switching for.
