Linux does give every application time to shut down correctly, but unlike windows, it won’t wait for ages until every process is down. Linux WILL shut down in a certain timeframe, whereas windows waits for years if necessary. In my old job, we all had to use windows and I had times where I clicked shut down, turned off my monitor, grabbed my stuff, left and in the next morning, the PC was still on because Notepad refused to just close lmao.

The fact that spotify uses bright green as “fatal-error” color makes me a bit mad.

Idk, it’s a hobby. There’s no problem with new distros. If they’re good, they take off, if not, it’s going to be a niche project. No issue at all.

I cringed so bad reading this.

You don’t. This is normal. Ensure key-only auth, ensure you do not login directly as root, maybe install fail2ban and you’re good. Some people move the port to a nonstandard one, but that only helps with automated scanners not determined attackers.

You could look into port-knocking if you want it really safe.

Linux people tend to have very strong opinions lol. I don’t get the hate either, but I do understand why people dislike the thought of having the same library lying around multiple times. I am one of those “purists”, but that’s why I compile most things from source

It is the best one for people that don’t know a lot about linux. Many people are at a loss when they read basic errors like fatal error: <header>.h: No such file or directory or ld: cannot find -l<library>. Flatpak solves a lot of that by specifically including all of it in the installation.

So ye, for non-power users, flatpak is the best package manager. It also has only one downside, which is the increased storage requirement for apps as they have to bring all of their dependencies themselves, which is okay these days as storage isn’t that expensive anymore.

And everything is better than fucking snap if we’re honest for a second.

The only sector where that is applicable is games.

Simple reason - dependencies.

Modern devs dump any dependency and sub-dependency under the sun into their project and don’t bother about optimizing it. That’s how you end up with absurdly large applications. Especially electron is a problem in this regard.

You can still write optimized and small software. However, for most businesses, it’s just not worth their time. Rather using an additional couple hundred megabytes of dependencies on the client system.

Me and my brother are using teamspeak to this day.

True. Now I’m more triggered by the mere existence of some bugs because I can’t fucking fathom how they’d even exist in the first place.

For a purist like me, arch IS the best distro.

However, best for me doesn’t mean best for thee.

It’s not your job to secure my device. It’s your job to provide the service I’m paying you for.

It’s only officially supported on google phones because sadly those are the only ones that are not modified to fuck which makes installing and supporting other OS’es way too much work.

Giving google money once for a device is not a problem from a privacy or security standpoint.

Well that’s bad. I’ve been using revolut for years now.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a new bank that’s operating under european law?

This new measure will only stop criminals and money laundering or tax evasion.

As almost all laws of this nature, no. It will harm innocent citizens.

I’d rather see money laundering and tax evasion continue than my privacy infringed.

So we keep coming back.

I usw nginxproymanager for that. It has an integrated function to create and update letsencrypt certificates. Creating a New host takes like 1 minute.
