People still use Facebook?

No bazzite on this handheld. It is not usable on it. Wifi disables after each suspend and I’d have to reboot the device to get it back. Also, the screen never recognized by the system, so it’s always black, and all I can do is connect it to my external monitor to get things going. It’s just a brick on Bazzite. I guess I’ll just create the script and call it a day then. Thank you.

Yo, mister foobarrington. So, since you’re an expert on these immutables, thought I might ask your help on something. I have a handheld that runs like shit on windows (they all do), and I’ve installed chimera OS on it. It works pretty nicely, but the fan is full blast at all times, so I wanted to install a program called HHD and it’s UI, but this thing is a freaking immutable. I did unlock it with a random command I found online and installed my program via their aur helper called ‘pikaur’. It works now with no issues, but I know that any new update is going to nuke it and I’ll have to redo this whole thing again. How can I make this installed program stick throughout updates. Does distrobox do the trick? Never tried distrobox, so I’m not sure if it allows installation of actual dependencies/drivers that stick through immutable updates. Chimera OS is based on Arch, just to add some context. Thanks

Edit: oh also, I’m about to experiment with Fedora knt os-tree, on an extra laptop I have, to see if I can make it workout. I do like the idea of a system that won’t break on me easily. And if I miss my AUR, I’ll mess with distrobox. If I like it then I’m moving it to my main machine. Will see.

And hidpi support. I no longer need my microscope

Love me some red on Linux.

Fantastic app. Hands down the best I’ve used so far on Linux. Everything else I tried was nothing close to this or just straight up a money grab. I have a couple of feature suggestions that I might post on GitHub when I have some time. You rock, dude.

By better hidpi support, does this mean that those “windows” specific windows that launch sometimes when I do things wine related will actually have a normal size on my 4k monitor instead of being microscopic?

The bottle thumbnail doesn’t help either. lol

Newbies should have no business messing with stuff like this to begin with. They should start with mint and call it a day. Lol

See, most of those things you mentioned are new things that I have no interest in getting into. I don’t know how to explain it, but the fact that you started listing ways to fix the things that are totally avoidable by me and I don’t need to bother with because what I have works fine, is an instant turn off. I’ve messed with distrobox and I hated it, just like how I hated nixOS. It’s just not for me. I can’t get into it even if I tired. Distrobox is just another thing I don’t need nor want to fuck with, because, again, what I have works perfectly for me. It’s different from person to another. You might like to dig into new things, but I don’t. I do other things on my machine. I have one workflow and I’d quite literally get into depression if I changed it, no joke. I like to set things one way and keep that one way forever. I’ve been running Linux since 2018 and have always used Plasma, and have always used it on an Arch based distros(never Arch itself surprisingly). I have had the same set up all these years. I’ve tried gnome for a while and I literally hated my machine (no disrespect to any gnome user or the gnome team). I hope that makes sense. I get that you defend/advertise/make look good the thing you use. It’s an internal justification, I get it, but people have different likes and dislikes.

I don’t want to deal with images. I don’t want to have to be cleaning the system from those images to reclaim my storage. I dislike flatpaks, snaps and appimage on which immutable distros rely. The lack of customization as you can’t modify system files or install traditional packages outside the immutable framework, which limits personal tweaks. Apps availability, not all apps on the planet exist in flatpaks. The learning curve. Having to change the way I interact with my computer completely, I’m too fucking lazy for that and way too cozy where I am. They’re just a burden that I don’t want to deal with and I hope that that’s ok with you. Lmao

I admit that I didn’t know about how rpm-ostree is capable of what you mentioned, but I still don’t like immutables for the other reasons I’ve mentioned. I did look into them and I can’t use them. I like my regular distro

You can’t even install packages using sudo. You can, but they’ll be overridden on next update.

I think it’s good if you have a ton of storage and want to set it and forget it. For me, immutable depresses me. I came to Linux for the tinkering and the ability to do what I please to my system, not to be restricted. That’s just me, though. For handhelds/strictly gaming machine (a Steam machine for example)? I think immutable is the perfect fit for it.

E-GPU? lol

The absolute best fix I’ve found for Nvidia on Linux is to buy an AMD GPU. Best decision of my PC life.
