I cannot answer definitively, but it’s highly unlikely that windows could access any data from your Linux partition. That said, if you’re that concerned about the potential for this to happen, perhaps your shouldn’t use windows at all. This is coming from a PC gamer who uses Linux exclusively.

I never said there was anything wrong with copying. I was simply pointing out a stereotype.

Well, I use Void Linux, Fedora, and NetBSD. All for different purposes. I just love the freedom to modify my system 'till my heart’s content. I’m generally a tiling WM (sdorfehs) on laptops and openbox/lxde on desktop.

I appreciate minimal clean code.

The stereotype of arch uses generally being smart is no longer. The “I use arch btw” meme brought a whole new user base to arch. You’ll find them on r/unixporn showing off their hyperland rice that they copied from some other user…

Hell yes! I turned off location data for immich but now I can use this!

Any helpful tips or links to tutorials for this method?

See my other comment above. I’m quite comfortable using a terminal, but for the purposes of tweaking system files in their POSIX location. I don’t want temp files or symlinks or sandboxed/containerised packages. I want binaries, I wanna compile software from source. Immutable distros make this quite difficult. The file system is setup differently (on purpose of course).

I guess it’s less a criticism than it is a preference.

Wish it was supported in more countries.

Behold, the Linux phone:

I kinda hope one day there is a “easy mode” Immutable distro, or perhaps atleast some kind of point-and-click GUI tools for managing something like flakes on a NixOS like system. I love the idea behind NixOS, but don’t want to learn a new programming language just to configure my system. It’ll get easier in the future I suppose. And when it does, I’ll be here for it. Obviously Bazzite is trying to be more beginner friendly which is cool, but it’s still quite a complicated system underneath the limited GUI options.

Of course it can be tinkered with, but it wasn’t really designed to be tinkered with in the same way that you can with a traditional Linux system. It’s designed to keep users from messing with system files with its strict containerised workflow. It’s certainly not targeted at users who’ll want to hack systemd services, customise kernel modules, tweak system files under /etc and /usr, or even compile software from source.

I acknowledge that it’s possible to create highly customised and reproducible systems with immutable distros, but it’s a paradigm shift compared to a traditional *nix system.

I’ve spent 20+ years refining my knowledge of linux and BSD, I haven’t got the patience to start over with these types of systems.

Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not at all criticising these systems for being different. They serve a completely different purpose —one that’s just not for me.

I did the same a few months ago. Installed bazzite just like you. Then installed fedora 42 workstation over it one week later.

While it’s designed to be plug and play, I found bazzite frustrating. But then again, I’m a Linux vet and I’m a tinkerer. I like to customise system configuration files. Immutable distros just weren’t for me.

But if you’re happy then that’s all that matters. Happy gaming!

That’s it, I’ve seen people use slurp. I couldn’t remember what it was called.

To be fair, I don’t know much about grim or taking screenshots on Wayland in general so I don’t know. Looks complicated

I’m more interested in that archaic method of taking a screenshot 😂

I think I’m able to say now that I’m a seasoned Linux user, possibly even an advanced user. But, I’m still considering replacing windows 11 on my gaming PC with bazzite. Just because it’s easy mode, doesn’t make it inferior in any way. I’m not suggesting that’s what your inferring, just felt like chiming in

I’m old enough to remember a time before YouTube. When YouTube started, it wasn’t about making money. There were no ads. No subscriptions. No sponsors. In the early days of YouTube it was just backyard videos. But it didn’t take long for the connect to start getting good because it was the first of its kind, and everyone started using it. The problem now is, to convince people to use something else that, essentially does the same thing, but doesn’t make people money. Good luck with that.

Money corrupted YouTube. And now, the idea that people can be “content creators” for a living means that there will likely never be a mainstream, ad free, subscription free video platform, where people just make videos in their spare time. Peer tube is cool, but your not going to see high quality, curated content like you get on YouTube. An I think that’s probably a good thing.

There’s an extension for that

The Gnome browser (epiphany?) is actually quite good. But when I’m on windows I use Zen. On GrapheneOS I use IronFox.

I also recently tested Ladybird. It’s still not usable for daily use, but I’m excited for it.

Do you recommend ucore or ucore-minimal?

So installing looks a bit convoluted. How do you install uCore? Install Silverblue and then rebase to uCore?
