smileyhead , to Linux in Qualcomm goes where Apple won't, readies official Linux support for Snapdragon X Elite | Tom's Hardware

It's not x86 vs ARM problem. But rather vendor problem, how AMD/Intel upstream their Linux support while other do not.

No? Linux – all the benefits why we want Linux = Android.

Try and run Android on your PC for a week and tell me how it went.

Bad examples. Just running some program is not an argument. Even Windows can run most Linux programs in WSL, but does not mean it's Linux.

smileyhead , to Privacy in Privacy services and non privacy payments options

If they could provide EU number I would definetly become a costumer!

smileyhead OP , to Linux in Software for remote desktop with phone confirmation to use on untrusted machines

No, because with remote desktop (GUI or terminal) I would clearly see if something other than my instructions is being done. I would see someone else typing or moving stuff around. With SSH malware on the client device can open second session/tty and do things there or simply write a command very fast and click enter before I can react.

smileyhead , to Linux in Every time I search for a USB key, I end up finding the ones flashed with OS ISOs! I don't have a normal key anymore lol

You might want to try Ventoy and have it all on one USB.

smileyhead OP , to Free and Open Source Software in How being FOSS fan/advocate annoy you at work/school?

as frustrating

I do not know Windows administration at all. So half of my frustration is definetly by the lack of knowledge.

But I also am scratching my head about so many things that are not clear.\

  1. Let's say you need to manage ~10 workstations with dozens of programs and tools installed and keep them up-to-date, what tools Windows have build in for that?\
  2. An update broke. On Linux there are wikis explaining exactly what command like "dnf update" do, what files are replaced and I can check logs. On Windows all I know is that update go to some % and rollback, how can I know more?
smileyhead , to Privacy in What are the most private social media platforms?

Your own website hosted on Tor/I2P, I think.

smileyhead , to Selfhosted in How to sync Akregator across devices?

You can sync their data folders with Syncthing. This is a program that let's you sync folders on two computers in the background.

But you don't want to run Akregaotr on both of them at the same time to avoid conflicts, because it is not adopted to be synced. If want program that is made for sync you propably need to selfhost FreshRSS or similar.

smileyhead , to Linux in Raspberry Pi Smart TV?

I have Raspberry Pi 4B set up as TV box and for my own media like Kodi or Jellyfin, barely handles 4K but works. And I like how I can sync files or remote control seamlessly because it's standard Linux not Android.

For mainstream streaming I really discourage form even trying, it's a mess. If you plan to run any type of DRM media you already are on the lost position and might as well buy cheap Android TV stick for ~30$, because there would be no freedom gain with RPi, just big annoyence.

TLDR:
Linux for own media.
Android for renting.
Raspberry Pi for Linux.
Cheap TV stick/box for Android.

smileyhead , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Software piracy?

I wouldn't want to run proprietary software even if it had negative price and the developer paid me.

smileyhead , to Privacy in Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.

Telegram: There are backdoors in Signal encryption!

Also Telegram: not encrypted

smileyhead , to Privacy in The Bitcoiners were wrong: a blog post about privacy and bitcoin, and how they failed to design a cash alternative

Was a fan of Bitcoin, until found out about this.

smileyhead OP , to Linux in Can someone explain Universal Blue (and images based on it) to me?

So what I understand uBlue is not to Fedora Atomic as Nobara is to Fedora?

Like, I can install Silverblue and get anything with rpm-ostree, but that is an overlay on the tree (like a git patch) instead of simple changing the files like on regular distro. Because of that swapping base of the tree to new or different version take computing time, so people are free to build custom base to their needs for convenience. And uBlue is a system to build those images easly. Do it get it right? 😅

smileyhead OP , to Linux in Can someone explain Universal Blue (and images based on it) to me?

image for every DE/wm

Coming from traditional distro (Arch to be specific) I just install it without DE or uninstall the existing one and install the other. Graphical environments are just programs just like any other.
So those images are just a convenience thing? Like Fedora has spins that preinstall desktops to have them out-of-the-box?
How those distro are displayed in (neo)fetch like programs, are they just Fedora or their own thing?
