Very cool. I wish the entirety of the computer’s interface was scalable SVG so any custom resolution is possible and looks good.

As a semi-technical user: I also fucking love it. It gets out of the way so I can focus my time on my work and not OS maintenance.

I love Gnome and would love a Linux phone, but sadly I hear they aren’t as secure as Android, and security is important to me. I’m really curious how the experience is to use it though.

It’s much harder to break if you’re prone to tinker. And there’s no configuration drift that naturally accumulates over time as you tweak a system, so it always runs like a fresh new installation.

I have learned much more on immutable OS because I’m no longer afraid to tinker around and try new things. I play in distrobox and can completely nuke the container without affecting my whole system.

I don’t really understand what is different from how it already works now.

Fedora Silverblue.

I want to be able to play YouTube videos in Firefox. And video files on desktop. Layering on rpmfusion didn’t help. And why will videos play in Gnome Web but not Firefox ugh.

Wow I just learned I could put a second SSD in the WWAN slot! Sounds awesome for a dual boot setup.

I got a used ThinkPad T480s and installed 40 GB of RAM in it for Qubes OS. It’s modern enough to charge over USB-C, so one plug for everything. I also have a MacBook I use for school and both are solid.

I thought you meant using any distro other than Qubes was “playing games.” Then I remembered actual computer games exist.

I’ve been using Silverblue as my main computer for a couple years now and love it. It just always works and is super solid. I layered on distrobox for any other software so I can pretty much run any Linux software ever needed and it’s cleanly organized in containers.

I guess Triangles. Most of them are too complicated but I guess they suit the KDE experience

Sorry I don’t understand what this means. I am not a computer whiz but just like the simplicity of typing things versus navigating menus.

I would love to only use the computer in tty but would be hard to edit images in GIMP. Or do you still launch GUI apps directly from tty? Most websites are an abomination viewed through lynx or similar.

I want this. I switched from using iPhone my entire life to GrapheneOS. Now that I’ve come to appreciate Android I’m amazed at the wide variety of Android phones to choose from but I’m stuck to Pixels because that’s the only option for GrapheneOS currently.

How do you install into a VM? Do you have a guide?

I love the level of precision and dedication. I was just working on making XFCE look like Gnome but don’t have anything uploaded.

Cool Thanks!

Been using BTRFS for several years and have never once had any sort of issue. i just choose BTRFS at system setup and never think about it again. I like that when I copy a file it is INSTANT and makes my computer feel super fast, whereas EXT4 can take several minutes to copy large files. This is with similar use to what you describe. No RAID.

The right parenthesis got caught in the link

This is not good. The past few Gnome wallpapers were much nicer.
