Bro, that is literally the first comment on the post! None of the solutions were posted when it was made.

They’re wrong, but you are just being a dick.

XWayland has something called a “rootful mode” where it opens an X11 session as a window nested inside a Wayland session. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij3rsqX2pKQ XWayland will be started as your own user, but maybe you could use sudo -u ... to set a different user.

The other possibility is to switch to another terminal session with a different user, start an X11 session with startx, and use x11vnc -listen 127.0.0.1 -forever -passwd PASS1234 to run a VNC server that’s only accessible from the local machine.

It’s not meant to. It’s just an assessment.

To be fair, the average consumer is a lazy, complacent, unaware fucking dumbass. Just the way corporations like them.

Clone it before the Glowy Boys declare it a weapon of mass destruction and preemptively nuke the repo.

Not as much as you might think. Space launch rockets don’t carry a lot of extra fuel beyond what’s absolutely needed. Even propulsively landed rockets are almost empty.

If you want to be outraged, look at how much carbon dioxide is produced during ascent.

I had to do a lot of configuration work on Win10 computers lately. The MMC, Powershell, even Regedit are faster and more intuitive than Settings. It’s fucking ridiculous.

And the fact that Epic couldn’t cobble together a content delivery platform that supported preloading before BL3’s release.

And the fact that they used Steam essentially as an advertising platform until the TOS was changed.

And website operators will be compelled to adopt this, how? They will likely just use PPA and also all of the tracking tools, or straight up not give a shit about PPA. Mozilla does not have the influence to affect real change. Until such a time, all of this is just worthless posturing.

Basically, yes. Xen is a bespoke hypervisor. All it does, and all it can do, is run VMs. There is no host OS – management is done through a privileged VM called dom0. KVM is a part of the Linux kernel. Virtualization is only one of its features. VMs run alongside, and are managed by, the host OS.

What is a “typical VM”?

Qubes uses the type-1 Xen hypervisor that runs at a similar privilege to the kernel of other OSes. KVM is a type-1 hypervisor implemented as a Linux kernel module. VirtualBox is a type-2 hypervisor that runs in userspace. Of these three, Xen is the most performant hypervisor because virtualization is all it does.

If by “typical VM” you mean a guest OS running inside a window of the host OS, then Qubes will always come out on top because the graphics pipeline is much less of a bottleneck.

This. I’ve had issues at work while imaging classroom computers where some would finish in ~30 minutes and a few would need hours. All of the computers used Cat6 cables. This being a classroom, and students being absolute wankbags, they kept yanking the computers and kicking the cables, so the wires came loose from the plugs. I later used ethtool to debug the slow computers – the switch would only allow 10baseT link modes.

Librewolf, my beloved.

Even worse, the majority of its revenue comes from Google for making it the default search engine.

G-hub also doesn’t work on Linux, which is actually a massive advantage. I use Solaar with a couple of shell scripts and it’s amazing. (edit) Actually it’s a Python app, so it might even work on Windows.

I’ve also had to blacklist the HID++ kernel module because high-res scrolling on a loose, mushy ratcheting wheel is awful.

People shouldn’t trust Mozilla either. It’s a company that does company things. Just because it’s not as far-gone as Google doesn’t mean it’s incapable.

I just simply set up a script to export my Trilium notes

edit the notes with an external editor, and then you can just re-import the note

Those two lines right there.

I value interoperability between software. Using a container format to store plaintext files and metadata introduces an XKCD 927 situation where it’s just another reinvention of the wheel that requires additional software support or a whole other workflow for no real benefit. Why is it necessary, for example, to store plaintext data and the related hierarchical structure in a container format when the same feature is already present in the filesystem with files and directories? It adds unnecessary complexity, roadblocks, and points of failure.

I’m using QOwnNotes at the moment. If I want to edit a note, for example, using neovim through SSH, all I need to do is navigate to the markdown file and open it. No scripts, no export/import. Only text files, and that is all it ever needs to be.

They all offer more or less the same network services with different UIs.

OpenWRT is specifically designed to work as a lightweight system running on consumer-grade routers. If you want this, you’ll have to check the website’s Table Of Hardware to determine if your hardware is compatible.

OPNsense and pfSense are general-purpose FreeBSD-based operating systems that you can run on discrete computers or in VMs that act as network gateways. All three are free/gratis, but you have to make an account and go through the store page to download pfSense.

I personally use OPNsense in a VM.

Cybercriminals are creaming their jorts at the potential exploits this might open up.

Now, if we were talking about one Nokia…
