I don’t really understand either. Where are the Gentoo and LFS elitists? It seams like there should be more of those than arch elitests. Maybe it’s just because more people use arch.

I swear meta is just built different in terms on spying on people compared to everyone else. It’s like they have a team of ex non ethical elite hackers to find security vulnerabilities in everything and exploit everything as much as possible.

Thanks for telling me about that. I will now use that for any ancient laptop restorations.

That’s great to hear another linux success story!

Just a handy tip if you haven’t already your laptop might sound like it’s about to take off because it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. Just search up a tutorial on YouTube for your laptop and be amazed at how much dust you will find clogging up your fan.

Also yeah that terminal thing is just arch and hyprland you really through yourself in the deep end there (I personally havnt used arch before). Linux mint on the other hand is super easy to use and the terminal is only there if you chose to use it.

I am definitely a fan. A lot of people say that flatpaks are bad because of sandboxing but I haven’t seemed to have any issues with it.

Although I do try to use dnf when a dnf package is available (I use fedora)

Installing flatpaks via the terminal is so much faster for some reason, so I always do it that way.

Yes it is true. Flatpak is for gui apps only, at least as far as I know.

I am just using oneui but I’m not even signed into a google account surely Gemini won’t be after me?

Whats the purpose of gentoo over arch and when do you draw the line of diminishing returns? It sounds like gentoo is a lot harder for not much more reward.

I agree as well it’s probably best to assume services that have access to your data in there database do indeed sell your data.

Great video. Made me reconsider using mergerfs and snapraid instead of zfs. invidious link.

Thanks for the help. It seams like plasma big screen is back in development and is getting regular pull requests on it’s git repo. I guess we can both just wait for it to have a stable release.

Seems cool, but I don’t really want something unstable considering that other non technical people rely on it.

Android tv is google. If there was a custom rom version of android tv I would be interested though.

It doesn’t require a github repo, you can use any personal git repository. I personally have set it up with a selfhosted gitea instance. I also assume you could setup a git repo on the device.

I might try that as I wait for plasma big screen to be fully ready.

Dude! plasma big screen is exactly what I was looking for. I hope it is available for public use reasonably soon. In the meantime does steam big picture work for other apps like jellyfin?

Sorry, I don’t get the joke?

I like 1 or 2 maybe 1 most.

If you want to set-up disk encryption you should probably understand that while the server is booted up as far as I know there will be no disk encryption leaving it completely available for anyone to take data from

Although most people entering your house would probably unplug the laptop and open it at there own home the data could still be valuable if it stays powered up with battery power.
