I use celluloid flatpak which has native wayland and pipewire support. Its an MPV GUI.
But browsers should be installed as an RPM, because Flatpak uses the same seccomp filter for all apps. That isnt even really secure, but prevents browsers from spawning user namespace sandboxes. Which means they have very little process isolation.
Very true. I am also very critical of any form of "stable packages". Firefox ESR the LTS kernel are the only exception but if SteamOS doesnt use the LTS kernel then wtf are they doing?
I honestly dont care about gaming :D I waste way too much time away from touching grass anyways.
But I hope they backport all security fixes anyways, as the SteamDeck is now one of the most predictable Linux botnet-targets out there.
there are always uBlue images like Bazzite, Bluefin, and Aurora that fix that.
Yes I know and use uBlue since basically it came out :D awesome project
But I specifically mean the packaging delays. There are sometimes sync issues with drivers, like this recent one with no free stuff that is used alongside the normal stuff.
And with Cisco-openh264 they cant to anything, Cisco ships the packages which is legally binding, and there are issues sometimes.
But Fedora is doing a great job, and the fact that rpmfusion exists alone is pretty hillarious. These are obviously Fedora people maintaining the stuff in secret, in a country where patent laws are not enforced (but are also in place afaik).
It's actually improved my experience on my laptop significantly
I guess so too? I dont know, Fedora Kinoite (whatever small derivative, currently ublue kinoite-main, soon aurora) works just really well.
You are at the bleeding edge, but I often find bugs that are simply there and need to be fixed. Once KDE Plasma 6 is on some LTS release like CentOS Stream, I may think about switching.
Yes but I mean Steam may test many games with this specific setup. Fedora is a way better base in general, if you leave out the issues with external repos (mainly openh264, rpmfusion is maintained by fedora people, 100%)
It is important to have backups for when Youtube blocks clients, but I just watch it over a VPN and Freetube or Grayjay. Not leeching any resources when avoidable, just costing big brother money.
