You are supposed to use /var/home/user instead of /home/user in your paths, scripts, etc (or /var/$HOME). Im not certain on the why but iirc its because on immutable systems only /var is writable so anything writable has to be under it.

Id say just recommend Photon. It works well on both mobile and desktop. I love voyager but two very different uis is going to confuse new users.

Its about Malibal, an infamous linux/windows hardware company. The person in the video is a KDE dev (Niccolo).

Distros ship with icons and themes system wide because apps running as root only load icons/themes that are installed system wide (you can check this by running an app as sudo).

Im secretly hoping someone steps up and builds it so we can see how far it has come :P

 

I remember first hearing about it a few years back but after that I didn't hear anything about it again so I decided to check. Seems like its still under development. I would have built it but the source code is ~6 gb which is probably too much for my relatively dated computer (to build).

Yeah the docs are a bit misleading but they are mostly for complete linux newbies. Its basically saying that to scare away any newbies from relying on ntfs because ntfs on linux has quite a few issues (in general, not exclusive to Bazzite) and might break unexpectedly since it is reverse-engineered so it is not perfect.

Bazzite does support NTFS. I use Bazzite on one of my devices with ntfs partitions and I haven't had any problems so far. Unless you mean installing Bazzite on the ntfs partition which yeah I guess it doesn't but Im not sure if any other disro has support for it.

But fair enough, immutable distros have a read-only system so making certain changes might be difficult and the usual commands might not apply. They are not impossible though, just require different commands since you have to layer those changes on top of the system. I have been able to make pretty much any changes to my Bazzite system that I would do on an ordinary distro.

Bazzite also has a really nice community that will help you with any issues and you can also ask for help in Fedora Silverblue/Kionite communities since Bazzite is just an image of Fedora (Kionite).

Bazzite does support ntfs. I have ntfs partitions on my system and they work perfectly fine in Bazzite.

Woah that MR actually got merged damn. Couldn't believe it when I saw this, I thought the title was a clickbait or something until I checked and it was for real.

Delta chat is based on top of email (i.e.SMTP, IMAP) so its like sending emails but in a chat format and encryption on top (and some more stuff).

Centralization is not a good thing IMO. Im glad Fedora is bothering to maintain their own repo no matter how useless we find it.

Yeah the whole situation really sucks. Im a big fan of both marcan and linux so its just sad how it all ended. But Im hopeful the R4L project will be successful despite these setbacks. Some of the first rust drivers are really close to landing and I think once that happens, the dust will mostly settle as hopefully most of the things around rust would have been figured out by then. Even this situation led to some improvements like the R4L policy (and also brought the issue to greater public scrutiny). Though the drama probably won't end there, especially if rust starts making in to the core kernel (thus start being required for building the kernel). That is probably going to be the final obstacle; if rust makes it to the core kernel code, I think the R4L project will have succeeded.
