Arch Linux (like some other distros) also has a security tracker: https://security.archlinux.org/
the init command probably only works in Debian nowadays givin it’s a thing from the sysvinit era
Latte Dock users will need to say goodbye then
you probably have old hardware in that case
the latest kernel releases greatly helped with the effiency of newer AMD and Intel (Hybrid) CPUs which can give you a longer battery usage on laptops
hope this helps with the dumbster fire of the virtualbox version in the official Ubuntu repositories
(virtual box basically “breaks” on Ubuntu LTS once a newer HWE kernel gets released unless you install a newer version of it, leading to hundreds of support threads every time this happens)
If we are talking Silverblue then podman is your pick for everything Flatpack “can’t”
there is no big push for cli flatpack since this already a solved cause with containers for podman/docker/kubernetes
however no matter how you approach this you will always have dependency security issues
unless you built every flatpack/container yourself you are at the whim of the creator of it to keep every dependecy updated
this is already a known vulnerability factor in the container sphere on topbl of the threat of 0-day exploits
chances are you already used the external nvidia kernel module prior
the dkms package is just the “catch all” way which works on most setups
(at least on Arch Linux)
it doesn’t matter if you use paru, yay or heck makepkg if you are compiling packages with hilariously large sources like for example webbrowser (librewolf, brave, ungoogled-chromium, firedragon take each like ~30 GB) without pruning the build cache afterwards
afaik linux and windows shows different GPU memory clock speeds but it’s basically the same (1:2 conversion)
most likely because bigger number = better?
my AMD 6000 cards does the same
the most honest reason I read about is probably that former Twitter user who felt out of place on Mastodon or other Activitypub servers because the “Nerds” who care about privacy and decentral systems which were already on it have a different microblogging culture and they didn’t want adept
so now a new competitor gets traction because the people who felt out of place on Mastodon can relife the Twitter experience from over a decade ago
the fake exclusivity even make you feel special despite the lack of features
typically it’s based on the last kernel release of the year which gets promoted to LTS, not because of certain features
Some people hate it for not following the unix philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well, but at this point nothing does except stuff like
cat
.
you can actually write iso images to thumb drives with cat
cat linux.iso > /dev/disk/by-id/usb-My_flash_drive
using external kerner driver (“out of tree”) come with caveats you need to take care of
typically most linux distros will do this completely transparent but certain usecases will be more complicated
espcially if you install packages outside of your linux distro repository like a newer kernel version or an older Virtual Box version
if you just need software to set up virtual machines you might look into Gnome Boxes or virt-manager which don’t require external kernel modules like Virtuap Box to work
anyway these issues typically happen on Ubuntu based distros (like Linux Mint) because your linux kernel is to new for the Virtual Box version (or the Virtual Box version is simply too old)
for someones who values security above everything else thats totally fine
but for someone who wants to reduce e-waste by prolonging the life of a phone with at least some updates this might be not the best solution
CalyxOS supports Pixel devices far longer than GrapheneOS does (they drop them once Google drops support too)
If you care about DoT or DoH Adguard Home will support it out of the box (which is why I use it)
you can make pi-hole also support DoH/DoT albeit little bit more complicated with an extra service like stubby/unbound
otherwise it really doesn’t matter, both are open source and easy to setup for unencrypted dns requests
this only happens if you install proprietary drivers manually and not through the software center (or package manager for the cli folks) on almost every given linux distro
this is why no sane linux user recommends installing download scripts from websites, you rely instead on your package manager to handle everything
I just use docker/podman containers on my Arch Servers, not a single time I needed to rely on distrobox for anything
If your AMD card is older than your latest linux distro release it’s plug and play, no driver installation required
Wayland works pretty well on most desktop environments too
beware fresh released AMD cards in combination with long term release distros like Debian stable, you most likely will need the driver from the AMD website (not recommended)
