You can shove anything in /tmp, it is (by default) read/writeable by all users/groups. Plenty of user apps create files/folders in tmp

Cool, I like it more now.

If you have friends, “Never Split the Party” is a fun random dungeon-crawler game where each party member (4p coop) has an aspect of the game user interface like health or the map. If you split up you lose that UI. (ive never played binding of Issac but it seems like similar genre)

Why?

Why not Codeberg, cus its FOSS and run by a donation-funded nonprofit.

I dont think so. It would just require some ports open.

Yes, for a number of reasons like keyloggers and screen recorders without root or user warning required.

Piper TTS on Android is great, the project is called Sherpa Onnx. It doesn’t require permissions either.

This is true, the USA is better and it is invading your soul.

The “hype” around XMPP is that it is simple and extensible. The server implementations of XMPP are very performant, especially compared to other protocols like Matrix that fit the same niche. I would like to see XMPP succeed, but what people want is a finished, unified product. Matrix, more so Element Matrix, succeeds in the personal messaging space because it provides a unified experience and a finished product. XMPP has been utilized by thousands of different projects, from Xbox game chats, to Zoom and WhatsApp, but each implementation is different and specialized. Conversations works great as a messenger, I recommend it. Easy to selfhost as well.

Thanks. I don’t like clicking links and therefore didn’t know lol.

Which is?

QKSMS is abandoned, QUIK is a maintained fork.

Flatpak shouldn’t require a reboot after install. I never have needed on any distro. It takes me about the same time as regular package manager. Odd to say the least.

Application sandboxing is just SO important. If the app isnt available as Flatpak, you could install it normally and use Bubblejail to restrict it.

What specifically don’t you like about it?

Try to still all your desktop apps through Flatpak. Flatpak applications are sandboxes (meaning they are regulated by the system using permission toggles and variables). It is better for security/privacy, and makes transferring app data to a new OS install easy (app data is stored in ~/.var/app/ )

Bluefin (MacOS look) or Aurora (Windows look) are great starter Linux distros. It won’t give you the typical Linux experience (mostly that you won’t really need to do much terminal stuff).

If you won’t a more typical Linux experience, I recommend Fedora Workstation (the KDE spin if you want that Windows look).

Webcord is another good client. It is more so designed for security and isolation, but supports theming and plugins. Vencord (more specifically Vesktop) is probably a more interesting client.

Sadly, KDE Plasma has not yet secured the windowing protocols, so applications can freely record your screen. Only GNOME stops this ATM. Not a deal breaker, and KDE plans on improving this. Still a security risk.
