I don’t know if it fits your use-case but a little known feature is to use a second local drive/folder as a remote, like this:
D:
mkdir D:\git_repos\my_project.git
git init --bare D:\git_repos\my_project.git
C:
cd C:\path\to\your\project
git init
git remote add origin file:///D:/git_repos/my_project.git
This way, you can now push to origin and it will send your commits to your repo on your second drive.

I hate to be that guy
That’s okay. Don’t be.
but OP gave no indication of their gender.
This is unnecessary white-knight pseudo-concern-trolling designed to derail from the topic at hand. This isn’t a conversation about gender. If I misgendered dontblink, I’ll send 5$ as an apology. You don’t, however, get to choose the language I use, as I equally don’t get to choose yours. Now, back to the Linux discussion:
Could you explain what exactly this “tight integration” pertains? AFAIK these are just regular old global-state distros but with read-only snapshotting for said global state (RPM-ostree, “immutable”).
Certainly. That’s essentially absolutely correct. In the case of Bazzite specifically:
/dev. Unlike Toolbox, Distrobox can be configured with different and fully isolated home folders, meaning containers won’t have access to your GPG/SSH keys or other user files unless explicitly configured..desktop files from sandboxes to your main home folder, allowing you to start sandboxed GUI apps from your normal GNOME/KDE menu.ujust, allowing launching of sandboxed, isolated Android apps directly from the desktop environment.That is their one and only stated goal: Run games.
That’s incorrect. While gaming is their primary focus—especially with the “big-screen” edition that boots directly into Steam—Bazzite also offers fully functional, polished desktop environments with thoughtful defaults. For example, even if only an insignificant tweak, GNOME on Bazzite has minimize/maximize buttons enabled by default (unlike Fedora Silverblue). It also supports developer workflows and even isolated, containerized systemd services. (docs). They offer Bazzite editions which boot directly to the desktop environment as default, leaving Steam as only a normal Flatpak application.
Could you point out the specific concrete things Bazzite does to improve separation between applications beyond the sandboxing tools that are available to any distribution?
None, beyond having them pre-installed out of the box. But it’s important to distinguish that dontblink asked for a solution, not the solution. I suggested Bazzite GNOME because it provides a nearly complete setup without needing to manually mess with rpm-ostree first. Everything it can do can also be done on other similar immutable systems with a little extra work.
He specifically mentions containerization, Flatpaks, Docker and Toolboxes, which these suggested Fedora Spins are designed to integrate with as tightly as possible, so completely relevant.
Also, Bazzite is completely the opposite of an OS designed to run one app at once, which means you haven’t tried it before rubbishing it as a suggestion.
p.s. Don’t take this the wrong way but the phrasing in your comments here make them sound quite aggressive and could lead them to be interpreted in the wrong way. Would you speak to someone like that on the street?
Might be controversial as it is usually intended for gaming but: Bazzite (Gnome Edition). It is like Fedora Silverblue but has distrobox and virtualization baked in without fiddling AND… built in Waydroid so you can run Android apps. I am incredibly impressed with it.
Totally agree. It’s not the fault of Firefox at all. This is just being trigger-happy on new standards before they are ready and unwillingness to fix a problem in a different way.
Good choice! Me too! Workstation on the PC and trying to learn Silverblue on the laptop. Have you played with Silverblue?
The use case is more for server and linux-type operating systems but I bet there are some crazy folk who use it for their desktops. No idea!
I find this happens a lot on software like this and people kind of assume visitors know what all the buzzwords mean or are in the same bubble as the developers, which is a shame really as I assume it scares a lot of people off.
TLDR: it lets you automate installing an operating system and software, mainly used for servers.
Backend Dev here. 500 is an HTTP sever response, so requires a working connection to happen. If the app isn’t connected to the network, in almost all cases, you would experience a different error, such as connection timed out, but not a 500.
I had never tried it and was super happy after seeing how lightweight it was.
Ooh ooh! I know this! Alpine! I run this together with MS-DOS on my Pentium 3, but FreeDOS should be no problem too.
I have seen your Debian/Arch addendum, but since it’s meant to be easy and for simple media consumption only, how about Fedora Silverblue with a couple of Flatpak games for kids? You’ll barely have to look after it as it’s immutable, will update itself and the stock Fedora Gnome setup is pretty basic and simple enough for a smart kid. Plus he’s two- I doubt he will need anything outside of Flatpaks and a paint program.
Am I the only one who finds the title abrasive? Why “rules”? Who are you and why should I listen to you? Will you send the tutorial police around if I ignore you? Maybe “recommendations” would be a better choice?
Carrier Pidgin. Lol. Made me chuckle!
I am very, very surprised about the competence of the commenters here. I have had many discussions on reddit about the advantages of meaningful instead of presentational class-naming and you’re normally met with great resistance, especially with users of frameworks like Bootstrap and Tailwind.
Here, everyone seems to either ‘get it’ or is willing to hear why classes like .lime are bad. Very cool.
I know! What a mistake of a framework. Glad my colleagues drummed it out of me.
Exactly this. Bootstrap killed the css star.
While I appreciate they have it, this is still rocket science when you describe it to an average user of mail. This stuff needs to be almost automatic and happen in the background for it to really be used by the masses. :-(
