So how is this vendor lockin?

I can imagine that theirs is safer and more suited for targeted devices. Linux is extremely generalistic and has a ton of cruft.

But I have never looked at their code or tried to port a Linux app to Android. The #Krita devs might have some insight here.

Americans XD

Just saying what some guy told me.

It is also a highly modified kernel, extremely reduced. They do all filesystem stuff in userspace for example, which is pretty cool. And they add a ton of garbage out of tree drivers.

They dont use GNU or glibc or systemd

Anything that supports EPUB, AZW3 or MOBI. So basically anything.

And should have like 8GB of storage at least.

I used a Kindle Touch, just didnt connect to the internet and used Calibre to convert EPUB to MOBI without issues.

Must smell like a corpse too.

Bedsores and all

Hahahahha

Arm is on the paper so you cant see a damn thing

If you want to host stuff, you probably want Termux. It is its own distribution but you may want to run a Debian proot inside Termux, which will have way more software and maybe also more reliably and fast security updates (heard that was a problem in Termux)

Okay that is probably true. Pretty crazy actually. Also cool to have good sounding earphones too.

They could just have used anything else… or is there no alternative?

What would you expect?

The tor network has more common stuff, drugs etc.

I2p meanwhile is just really good for anonymity. I think using it for messengers is the best use. I was able to find a bunch of stuff, and yes unlike the dark web this would mostly be also there on the clearnet, mainly because there is no such business on i2p I guess

Just random people offering services for free, a few pads, pastebins, fileservers

You can find quite some cool stuff actually, but I think the main advantage is using it for messaging

And unlike i2p, i2pd also doesnt really use much battery? I could totally keep that on all day

I didnt understand your message

Magic

Anyone can host a site. Just keep it up for like a month without a pause so that it can be discovered.

Then go to a domain registrar and get a domain name. I2p sites have BASE32 names, kinda like onion addresses. But they can also use shorter names like postman.i2p

If you register such a name, the site will become more discoverable as those registrars likely share the sites, you might appear in some lists, people connect to you, add you to their address book and forward stuff to you.

yes absolutely

They ditched git? Really?

Oooh crazy!

You didnt layer aurora on bazzite, you rebased.

This is very problematic and I didnt know this could happen. OCI images dont have a concept of “removing packages”. Instead, they are always removed on the local system.

The firefox issue is uBlue people being weird. They remove it, preventing anyone from installing it. Instead you need to use the firefox tar archive from their website, works well too but is kinda random as you need to place it in some nonstandard folder.

Steam is interesting. Please report that. I am not sure how these things work but my theory is that the installer (anaconda) wrote the system to your PC with the default configuration (with steam).

Then you rebased to Aurora but the system was still originally Bazzite. Which is odd, ai thought there was no such state. Please report that to them!

My idea is to rebase to their main image and then back to aurora. This may remove this steam error. The main images also still have firefox and just the codecs etc added, so I can recommend them.

UBlue removed the instructions on how to do that from their website with the redesign.

Use the rebase command you used, but use ublue-os/kinoite-main:latest instead of ublue-os/aurora:latest in the rebase command.

Then rebase back to aurora after a reboot. But tbh I didnt like Aurora it is weird and kinda random. I like ujust and yafti though. I am on Fedora Kinoite with a huge set of layers. Works very fine too, still worlds faster than Windows updates LOL

Well SteamOS doesnt use the Steam Flatpak. Otherwise that would be kinda fun.

They also do their own versioning of Arch packages

No, not for browsers.

Chromium Browsers may be secure, but afaik there was no security audit of Chromium Flatpaks. Their sandbox is highly modified, so one would really make sense.
