  • That's fair but tailscale isn't a traditional vpn, it makes direct connections between two devices. it was also designed to be extremely easy to setup and it's free for up to 100 devices.

    Again it's fair if you don't want to mess with it

  • Fair enough i was trying to have a more positive message but I consider the Reagan era to be the largest turning point for the US's decline tbh. Of course the 50-70s were horrendous if you were a poc but at least that was getting corrected in the 70s and 80s. Unfortunately while civil rights was making strides during that time Reagan started targeting those communities with the war on drugs. Once we started the new age slavery program (privatization of our punal system) the US started on this fucked trajectory. This is all just my opinion of course

  • Yeah there is, I get it though. I've noticed that in myself I have a much shorter fuse now. I try not to take it out on people because I recognize it's just misplaced frustration.

    Part of the reason I made this post was to just let people get all of their vitriol and upset feelings out, if even a little.

    It's of course not helpful to shout in the void but it also alleviates some of that frustration people feel. I thought it may be a bit therapeutic to give strangers a little spot to direct some of that negativity to.

    Thank you for the kind words and your quotation perfectly sums up the response I'm trying to maintain in my mind, if only for my own sanity.

  • What community would be more appropriate? I'm pretty loose with fediverse communities. I'd rather throw more content up even if it's not the best fit just to give Lemmy more content and this post got a shitton of interaction

  • So I'm newer to Linux as a whole so some of this maybe a bit off but:

    Immutable distros big difference is you can't mess with the root partition ( you can there are just more steps involved), it's read only. The advantage to this is it's harder to fuck up your system, and it's described as more secure. The downside is if you need a program that isn't available in a flatpack, snap, or app image it's a pain in the ass. Bazzite ships with distrobox which essential allows you to run a different distro in a container to use programs available to that distro, ex: you can run the Debian version of Firefox on a fedora system. Not all issues can be avoided with this, compiling code for instance is still a nightmare with distrobox

    Now the good things: no live updates so an update won't get messed up from a live install The system will update in the background and then when you fire it up next time THEN you are in the updated version. Bazzite is atomic specifically (an immutable subset) that applies updates all at once or not at all if it fails, you can also always roll back to a previous version at the GRUB menu. After it updates to the new image it then applies the local personal layers, so every update it kinda like starting with a fresh install

    The main thing to look for is that any apps you want to use are supported in a flakpack, if all you are doing is gaming then you shouldn't have to worry, both lutris and steam come with bazzite

    Here is a link to a Lemmy post with community opinions on immutable distros

  • Dude bazzite is the shit, I have it installed for my gaming PC. I don't think I will use a mutable distro for a gaming rig again

  • The whole point of Linux is to tinker

    Fair enough but the sole reason I went to Linux is because I despise Microsoft. I wanted a less bloated, not ad ridden, and more customized( mainly just the GUI) experience that gave me more control over my PC. Now I only use this PC for gaming and streaming, so really I just want those two things to work with as little fiddling as possible. Obviously everyone's use case is different and immutable is definitely not a good choice for power users (from what I've read).

  • Gotcha I was just wondering what the limitations are, I'm still messing with and I've not hit one yet but I was curious where they pop up. So for devs immutable distros don't play well, that definitely makes sense!

  • Immutable Distro Opinions

    Jump

  • That makes sense, bazzite is referred to as atomic (that's what I meant in the above comment about atomic being more appropriate, forgot to add that context though lol) specifically instead of immutable. Bazzite updates like you said and you can always roll back, thank you for the explanation!

  • Distrobox is something I want to start playing with, I like the idea of the containers

  • Immutable Distro Opinions

  • Yeah I think atomic is more appropriate but I'm not exactly sure what the difference is?

  • For #1 could you use distrobox to run it with another OS? I'm pretty new to all this so I could be way out in left field lol.

  • Yeah what I really meant was you don't have to have much linux experience to jump in, I definitely like the idea of not doing live updates now that I know it's an option

  • Was what you wanted not available in a flatpack/ app image?

  • Yeah I never understood the hate but today I did read a comment saying Canonical (the company that develops Ubuntu) had injected some amazon telemetry into one of the search functionalities, that and using Snap is what makes some people shit on it. I didn't verify the telemetry thing FYI.

    I can definitely understand people being upset at telemetry injections.

    The above is to say I don't think it's exclusively people gate keeping, dome people have legitimate issues with it.I haven't seen people shit on mint a lot and it's an easy distro. Honestly most people are super supportive of mint. That being said there is definitely some amount of gatekeeping.
