They have enough eu pins to make you look like a north korean general.

I’m more productive if I have to reboot between work and leisure.

Have you done it? With grub not bios switching efi partitions?

Yeah you need to tell grub-mkconfig in /etc/default/grub to run the os-prober on everything during updates and put it in the cfg, but bazzite is immutable and seems to be only configured for parallel windows and it’s own version history. If i read the docs correctly, screenshot in other comment.

I could only find the ugly bios option, normally the os-prober of grub-mkconfig would be configurable to take care of it, but we are immutable there. I assume this is also valid for debian or arch:

Can you dual boot it yet with other linuxes? I want to split gaming and productivity.

Good old days :') I only noticed yesterday the grsec patches are no longer available, such a shame.

I always wondered, did anyone ever find something with it? Wouldn’t a rootkit that is known enough to be in the detection file be outdated? But yes, you read the docs, points to you!

Fuck yeah, that’ll show them!

You can’t impress me with a bog standard Gentoo. If you want to show power, build a fortress. At least put some tripwire you mostly trip yourself on (program that keeps an encrypted hash database of your system files to find intrusion changes, needs an update with every update of course or it alerts only your negligence).

Ah yes, a Linux teenagers power fantasy. Hardened Gentoo and Selinux beats deblobbing btw, noob.

Yeah, it is not impossible, but you are actively going against the maintainers choice of software and configuration, that they can assume you have during every update. That is what makes Arch so popular: no handholding that would get in your way; but also no helping hand from upstream, only documentation how to do it. Cinnamon is maintained by the Mint team and considered difficult to install anywhere else. IMHO when you are used to KDE, it can feel lacking.

Mint has no KDE install which makes it a hazzle to setup and fragile to upgrade. You also wouldn’t gain anything, because they are both ubuntu based systems. Not worth it imo, like a sidegrade.

You can transplant your desktop onto anything, the configuration is stored in .config and .local in your home folder. Bring those to another distribution with the same software (copy while you are not logged in, ie while in live cd or reuse the home partition without formatting) and it will look the same.

Because windows is really bad for work, I would want my kde multidesktop multiscreen setup while I earn money spending time in visual studio.

I did it once because I had an unstable cable connection, it was surprisingly easy***(for me) https://www.baeldung.com/linux/merge-several-internet-connections

Adapt and fight. Linux is the dominant OS for everything, so Windows started to support it (wsl) so they don’t loose developers. Secure boot worked as a moat for a while and the MS monopoly on OS keys is still an obstacle. Linux works better on ARM than Windows, so obviously Qualcom Laptops have a locked down bootloader. They will continue to lock themselfes into the future with money and development resources.

As long as your installation stick is a live image and you keep it around, it also serves as a mighty tool to fix things with google and chroot.

Ccache is also good to compile and set up as one of the first.

Everyone should think about threats to their data. Cloud backup and laptops better be encrypted, services with open ports be shielded. Linux viruses do exist, especially for android and routers. But also whatever system has an outdated dokuwiki open in the wild is a welcome addition to a botnet. The value of a botnet is in number of infected systems and you don’t need root access to mine monero or take part in a ddos on a machine. Linux security is sincerely undervalued. Selinux, the grsec kernel patches, chrootjail, tripwire… do exist, but are a hassle to setup and maintain. The new container options are nice (docker or flatpack) having your webbrowser contained is not a bad idea.

Update your router, your desktop is spoiled for updates. I stop my 1 am ramblings here.
