  • Ah, I did the exact same about a week ago. To be fair, I installed Kinoite on a second laptop, because I really need my working setup for the next couple of weeks. So I am not forced to use the Kinoite.

    The thing that mostly drives me back to Arch, ist that I dont really understand the different appoaches of flatpak, toolbox and the package layering, or more their specific pros and cons and when I want/have to use what, depending also on my threat model.

    I even struggled to get my Thunderbird working with my old config, because it wouldn’t recognize my .thunderbird in /var/apps/net.thunderbird.Thunderbird/...

    Although Fedora has a quite good documentation, which I read with joy (which is not usual) I feel that I am missing some graphical depiction, or something :D

    I think the last 2 days I didn’t touch this, because I was thinking about writing a lemmy post, with the following:

    1. What are the most obvious things one has to learn/understand, before switching from arch to immutable (esp. kinoite) ?
    2. What steps in your workflow changed, and how do you feel about them? Like do you like them? Is it annoying, but you know it’s for good so you still do it? Do you really don’t like something?

    Thanks for your post, it came just at the right time :D







  • Then, only the vpn provider would see the very same traffic, the ISP would see without vpn.

    The ISP would just see your connection to the vpn provider.

    The sites themselve would just see the vpn ip.

    So it’s not the question about whether anyone sees the traffic, but who.

    Only Tor would hide this traffic in a sense.




  • This seems like a normal cheap android phone with a bootloader-unlocked operating system and some pre-installed ad-block and rethinkDNS’ish Apps imstalled?

    And no offence, but the advertising video itself is more scamy then the wedding-dress shop around the corner that is always closed and dusty, but still paying a horrendous amount of rent each month…

    I postet a screenshots from https://manjaro.org/products website where they have a stock photo of a macbook besides the download button for the desktop .iso

    Know theres another macbook stockphoto at gnomes website.

    So either there are no other laptops produced that fit the highly enterpr1se entrepreneur busine5s investment1t!1! life style of the regular linux users who visit these websites, or manjaro and gnome are all investing in asahi linux secretly.

    I understand that the iphone became a synonym for “mobile phone” especially when it comes to graphics. The unique look of them, especially when they still had their home button, makes it very easy to draw one on a computer e.g.

    And macbooks are widely used by professionals of all disciplines, so yes, macbooks are associated with profession.

    All fine, but why on a Linux-Distro website, like manjaro ?! Why on Gnome? Apples not really invested in getting open source software running on their systems, so where come the probs from and what for?

    I see lots of sidekicks against Manjaro, it’s a thing apparently :D I am using manjaro on a framework 16 for about a year now and it never broke anything, just works wonderful for me, although I dont have any fancy requirements other than a working Linux.

    But i would be interested in the critics about the team and their “bad” decisions, as stated in some comments. What were the problems?
