I use Bluebuild to create a reproducible system, plus a post-install script to handle other post-install tasks such as setting up initial preferences.

Also Vorta to backup files and settings to external HD, plus OneDrive Linux client to sync files and settings to cloud.

As someone who switched from Windows to Kinoite about 6 months ago (and now using bluebuild to create custom images), wether to use an atomic distro or not comes down to how much time do you want to spend learning everything.

I’m a very technical person with years of experience, and I’m still figuring a lot out. You’r not only learning about the ins and outs of linux, but now your adding more complexity with an atomic distro, and even more if you decided to create your own image.

Atomic distros are very much a work in progress and they do have issues you won’t find in non-atomic distros. Creating your image allows you to get around some issues you may run into that layering alone can’t do.

Also, keep in mind that version upgrades (which happen every 6 months or so on Fedora based atomic distros like Bazzite), can and do sometimes break apps baked into your image until they are updated (which also happens in non-atomic distros). Flatpaks can help avoid this breakage.

There are other distros that are gaming focused if atomic distros are not for you.

Screen is often blurry at 150%. Too small at 100%, too big at 200%. Waiting for next release which is supposed to improve fractional scaling.

I was wondering what the Keyword blocking feature was all about, then I read this:

“Begone, Elon/X spam!”

…and now it’s my favorite Voyager feature! Thank you!!!

Trump was tough on China.

Damn! That judge really took them down point by point!

I don’t buy that Disney is in trouble at all.

Streaming prices are going up, ads are now a thing unless you pay more, password sharing is on the way out, and soon showing movies in theaters first will taker over, and finally, they’ll begin bundling services you don’t want with the ones you do, and have a minimum subscription term so you can’t just cancel and switch to a different service on a whim. That’s, pretty much their old business model, just cutting out the cable companies.

In the meantime, they’re playing hardball with actors and writers, in hopes of locking them in a long term contract with less money “because streaming isn’t making money”, before much of the above takes hold.

It won’t be long before most movies are released to theaters first, and then streaming months later.

It reads like a bot trying to sow division.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Interesting, thank you. Any truly privacy focused browsers you recommend?

Thank you, and same to you with my upvote.

Thanks for the upvote, and back at you. I’m thinking bots would be used to change discourse for whatever purposes.

I feel the same. I wasn’t worrried about this post getting tons of downvotes for no reason, but I would have avoided posting it on reddit.

Same back to you, fellow Fedinaut :).

lol, and I hope I’m lol’ing to an actual person.

I’m wondering if they’re trustworthy with my data? I use the Brave browser and at least so far they haven’t tried to sell my browsing data. I’ve heard about the selling Brave Search stuff though, so I’m looking for good alternatives.

Who develops the Arc browser? Is it open source?
