You are correct, one shouldn’t post while sick, sorry.

Yes, you are right of course.

This is great, but sadly appimages don’t work on immutable desktops. But it’s very positive that they are providing that.

No

Also: HR: you are too young for this position. Job hunter: but I am 35 years old. HR: Sorry, this isn’t a senior position.

I don’t mean to crash the party, I used to love Ventoy too. But then the blob issue came up and it was met with silence for over a year by the maintainer, that made me a bit uncomfortable. They have responded to it a while ago, but it’s no trivial task to solve as I understand it: https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/issues/3224

First you need to download the provided file from the distro page. Something with Checksum in the name most of the time. The website should provide instructions. Please note that does not validate the gpg key.

Quick Method Terminal: Open the terminal at the location of the ISO file or go there with cd. Type sha256sum NameOfIsoFile.iso - it takes a moment depending on your system. Copy the output (some long numbers/letters). Compare it with the downloaded checksum-file - open the file, press ctrl-f or whatever you have for find and paste it. If it’s found, it’s the same.

Method KDE: Right click the file, open properties, then go to tab “Checksums”. Paste same number/letter combination from above into the provided space “Expected checksums…” - if it’s green, it’s correct.

Signal is included as Flatpak. You have to enable “untrusted Flatpaks” (or whatever the wording is) in the Software Manager settings.

It was a controversial thing Mint added not long ago. Discussing this in detail would derail the post though.

One of the forums regulars, Pjotr, made this website exactly for questions like that: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.com/p/1.html

Why not give a clickable link that works for all instances like the other 2?

You are not giving them your details. Heroic Games Launcher is open source, you can verify their explanations in the FAQ:

"Does Heroic collect my data, username, or password?

No, Heroic is a privacy-centered application and does not collect any data from your computer or device. It does not collect your username, password, or any other personal information. You will login on the official Epic Games Store or GOG website and then Heroic will keep only a token that serves only to list, download and to launch games from those stores."

I’ve played Control using Heroic and it worked great.

Subnautica works for me on days like these. It’s atmosphere, the clever design of how to explore more of the story and the constant danger. I also really like the ending, but I won’t say more about that, cause spoilers.

It’s covered in the FAQ of WineHQ

Bazaar lacks some basic functionality like update notifications and doesn’t integrate so well with KDE.

I wonder if people opt-in or not?

Nevermind, I was able to read the comments and the poster said “I WILL be open-sourcing the code ASAP, but I’m still working out exactly what that will look like, and I also have a few personal reasons for delaying.” So there’s not git yet for everybody else who is wondering.

I can’t watch the video, is there a link to a git somewhere?

Check both out over at https://distrosea.com/ to see which you like more. Also different DEs come with different standard apps like which text editor or terminal they use. If you do not have a preference there, it shouldn’t matter much. Also you can switch those out if one in particular isn’t to your liking.

Of course you can, why wouldn’t you? It’s Fedora Kinoite with added stuff for gaming. There is a special edition for devs in the making, in case you’re interested in keeping an eye on that: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/introducing-the-bazzite-developer-experience-alpha/7342/64
