  • Just unsubbed. I know there are great individuals working for this company, but I can’t support LTT after how they treated Madison. I can’t believe I bought their merch because I felt guilty about using an ad-blocker.

    Shame on you Linus, your indifference to the cruelty of your management makes you just as guilty. 👎





  • I hear great things about the Nix package manager and AppImages, but I personally use the AUR. The vast majority of what I use is in the Arch official repositories.

    I’m also not saying to not use Flatpak, but you shouldn’t be using it for sandboxing or depend solely on its purported security benefits on mission critical systems.

    What constitutes a reasonably secure package management system depends on your threat model (no such thing as 100% secure).


  • You know installing and configuring Arch so it’s functional doesn’t take much longer than an hour, especially with install scripts. There’re even Arch based distros like EndeavourOS which are easy to get started with. Arch taking over your life is kinda a meme, ricing it can take as much or as little time as you’d like.
