I’m surprised at using ntfs-3g these days, but one major difference is that ntfs-3g uses FUSE in userspace.
Paragon has an in-kernel driver that is much faster, although I would expect your distro already includes it.
You can check with something like cat /boot/config-* | grep NTFS3_FS
I never really looked into what they were doing with KPTI.
Assuming it’s accurate, that first one is a much better technical description, even if it was intended to spell FUCKWIT
Ah. That makes sense, then. Thanks!
Any idea why that’s needed when Organic Maps doesn’t?
My understanding is this is an early fork?
To add about defaults from what other posters have shown…
I don’t remember if this was there on Debian 12, but at least when you’re on Debian 13 later this year, you can go to “Settings” in Discover and select if you want Debian or Flatpak to be the default source
nvtop, while it sounds like it’s nvidia, is brand agnostic It actually stands for “neat videocard top”
It’ll show per process usage of memory and compute usage on most GPUs
If you just mean recently, one of the YouTubers with the most subscribers recently released a video about why he switched to Linux, and in it, he says he uses hyprland
May be affecting its popularity
I think you agreed with me?
I said the people who say Linux is so hard are the people that have learned so much about Windows that it’s ingrained in them. So when they try to switch, they get frustrated that it isn’t exactly the same
The vocal people saying it’s harder have a lot of experience with Windows, and know how to work around all of its deficiencies after being a power user dealing with it for 15+ years
With that mindset and not wanting to start over, Windows is easier
For casual users or someone who’s willing to learn, Linux is easier
Wasn’t France the one that started switching to Matrix and funded a bunch of improvements?
It’s great that Germany is doing the same, I just remember Matrix talking about money from France and helping the French government deploy Matrix for government use back in the day. A lot of the E2E encryption improvements were attributed to their collaboration with France at the time

I wasn’t trying to give a positive side, I was just explaining why Microsoft wants the feature
If the executable binary has to be signed with a key, similar to the module signing key, Microsoft could sign their binaries
This, along with secureboot, would prevent the owner of the machine from running eBPF programs Microsoft doesn’t want you to run, even with root
The Ubuntu security team only supports the ~2,000 packages in “main”
Things like ffmpeg are in “universe” and only get security updates if you subscribe to Ubuntu Pro
Debian’s security team has always been significantly more responsive than Ubuntu. It’s regularly had CVE fixes in older versions of Debian that newer versions of Ubuntu don’t bother to pull into universe
FWIW, if you decide to go with KDE and manage to delete your panel, it’s
😉
I’ve gone through and responded to the other top level comments as well, but another massive issue you could add to your edit is that servers can detect curl <URL> | sh rather than just curl <URL> and deliver a malicious payload only if it’s being piped directly to a shell.
There’s a proof-of-concept attack showing its efficacy here: https://github.com/Stijn-K/curlbash_detect
To add to OP’s concerns, the server can detect if you run curl <URL> | sh rather than just downloading the file, and deliver a malicious payload only in the piped to sh case where no one is viewing it
You can detect server-side whether curl is piping the script to Bash and running it vs just downloading it, and inject malicious code only in the case no one is viewing it

So that would at least be a minor improvement
My job is literally to make Linux distros using Yocto for various boards. I’m constantly writing new build scripts or updating build scripts, debugging the kernel/systemd/glibc and whatever libraries are on the system.
All of my work and personal desktops run some version of Fedora Atomic or a uBlue variant right now.
With distrobox/toybox/brew and using podman/docker/KVM+qemu, even as a tinkerer, it’s great
Depending on how you had it installed, Alpaca split support in the Flatpaks.
If you want AMD support, you need to install
