Use open source software that doesnt try to spy on you

There is no reason why these files should contain PII, but on Windows and with proprietary software you never know

git push master --force

Press Esc when booting to see text

The TPM could be used to generate a LUKS decryption key from a password or PIN.

That would tie that password to the hardware, but with LUKS you can have multiple ones, so a long password that directly unlocks the key should be possible in addition

Just learned that you can pipe tar into any compression tool, if that is not natively supported.

It has less integrity checks but huge performance benefits for sure

How is CRDroid? What changes do they make? Is it based on LineageOS or some other project?

Sounds like tmpfs would be more reliable than streaming data directly?

Yes and switch often caused issues which is why I only use it for very small changes after I just did an update (where a nix-shell might also just work)

Btw very funny how Guix is basically a 1:1 nix clone but in Libre

nixos-rebuild switch

I mostly use nixos-rebuild boot which is waay more stable

NixOS has something similar but very unstable. So exciting to see new approaches!

Recompile C projects with Zig

BTRFS is a fucking must. Tried resizing a EXT4 partition for a while and failed, no idea why

I also use Bottles with ProtonPlus on NixOS. Bazzite has better integration for crazy stuff too, and a lot is running with full privileges unlike Flatpak.

Just look at their features, they really add a ton. The goal is to become less and less ofc, but Steam will stay proprietary so that will always be a huge change to regular (or atomic) Fedora.

So yeah it is bloated and less secure too, but “just works”

No idea why you would want to get precious data out of DRM-riddled physical media and then somehow devalue it again by putting it back into that format.

HDDs make more sense I suppose

To be a normal DE that works like all other platforms and desktop (apart from macOS maybe, idk, likely also has support)

KDE also uses CSD if apps support it, but if not, apps dont break for no reason

Keyboard layout is a question of the desktop environment

All distros and environments should support the same amount of regular layouts. A difference is how you switch between them. KDE allows me to use CAPSLOCK to switch, GNOME does not allow that so I use Alt+A.

If you are talking about complex input methods like I guess korean uses, these will use a separate program. These will exist on all big distros but I never tried them.

Arch Wiki entry

This will likely exist on all distros you might encounter. They should all have a website to search for packages, which you can use before installing

For example

• Opensuse
• Debian (as always less user friendly lol)
• Fedora

That depends on your preferences

One of these should work
