I have 5 different banking apps, all working without an issue. Some I may had to “explore protection mode compatibility” but it is not the rule and is a quick tweak.

If it is a little home server Proxmox is difficult to beat.

Why only Fedora?

My family can’t live without Netflix algorithm showing on their face the new documentary or show of the week. I use Stremio, pretty good stuff.

The Thinkbook 14+ 2025 seems to check quite a lot of the boxes. Nevertheless, depending where you live you will have some high taxes to pay if ordered from Aliexpress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G_xM0qxA-8

The option with the TGX(Oculink) port to use an eGPU is particularly appealing for some.

There is a guide to install Arch on it: https://github.com/Cyber-Typhoon/Secure_Arch_Install_Oculink_eGPU

It would be nice if they would overcome the 720p/1080p limitation imposed by some stream services https://androidpcreview.com/netflix-hd-android-tv-box/

I have a similar need for a “niche” install. I need Arch for it. I’m doing a laptop installation with LUKS2, TPM2, Secure Boot, systemd-boot with UKI, BTFRS, Apparmor and it has a Oculink eGPU dock station.

What is making NixOS so passionated about it? Is there something very special in NixOS that we are missing in Arch?

This looks promising, very similar to Metro but an active project. Thanks for sharing.

If you need it for Android, I tried quite a few. I had the same requisites, offline, lyrics for flac files, I ended up using Metro: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.Music/

Very minimalist and do the job very well. I use the field"Composer" to sort my lists.

The way that I see, Linux phones will only get traction when we are able to install android apps and use high end spec phones with good security. I hope that I’m wrong.

Why isn’t Secureblue included in the count?

I eco this, I like the app.

I can stream not only YT but also PeerTube videos from content creators that I follow. For me this is the big appeal that GrayJay provides and is pretty much underrated. One can have a centralized video platform with GrayJay.

If you have access to China only laptops market, the Lenovo ThinkBook 14/16 + Intel Core Ultra 7 255H are very capable all-in-one laptops that you can run an eGPU via TGX(Oculink) in a CPU that is tuned with 70w that you can’t get with the Thinkpads, maximum is 55w.

Clicked in this post because of the wallpaper.

Stayed here for the polemic.

Searching the wallpaper, now.

I’m following your path leap on Secureblue, because I found the project philosophy appealing to my interest.

I don’t feel the same about the others Atomic distros. I’m probably missing something but other Atomic projects don’t seem to be adding much value if you know your thing for workstation home users.

Also, to the OP, reading the comments it seems clear to me that even with the best product you won’t be able to please everyone. Although it definitely plants the interest on some that are coming across the topic for the first time, which I think is good. Learning something new should be on everyone’s list.

Some answers to your first question you can find here: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/guides/linux-hardening.html

For the second question about in what ways Secureblue do mitigate that you can find more here: https://secureblue.dev/features

The last question about usability, is very usable. If you use Bazzite you may have a similar experience. It is not like QubesOS that isolate all processes making it even not able to use a GPU.

Not exactly a product from ublue but something in the same line:

Secureblue because of the reasons aforementioned for the ublue images where things are really darn rock solid out of the box AND because Linux is fundamentally behind in security and this project is trying to mitigate some of the big flaws.

It looks that part of it is proprietary https://docs.sailfishos.org/Services/Development/Sailfish_OS_Source/
