Appreciate thoughtful answer. No surprise people downvoting. I kind of expected that. Easy to reject different world view vs engaging into discussion.
I hope one group of people can implement some kind of successful socialism model. My personal experience, growing up as a teenager in exUSSR, was pretty bleak. Yes, everyone could get a basic job. But vast majority of the people were poor. Not starving but not too far to what you see now in North Korea documentaries. Those in the ruling party were living a bit better, yet still incomparable to middle class Western citizens. I am not even mentioning that one could end up in jail for basic critique of the government.
I am not saying capitalism is flawless. It gets ugly quite often. But how do you know it’s good under socialism? Have you lived in socialist society or know any examples where it thrives. Socialism idea being romanticised a lot these days. Sadly reality proves it’s an utopian model.
I do run it in docker. It used to work great until few months ago. Maybe my provider (Hetzner) ip triggers captcha. Tried tor proxy and it didn't make much difference. Brave, Startpage, DDG - all periodically throw captcha / too many request errors.
Maybe buy used iPhone. Privacy wise it's better than stock Android. Banking apps should be working and you get more years of security updates than cheap Android.
Still using my old trusty Galaxy Tab S 5e but batteryis showing its age. Thinking of Tab S9 which has unofficial LineageOS at XDA, modern CPU and OLED. Cannot find anything else to replace S5e. Most new tablets eithet too big or LCD.
Thanks for clarifying, Jorge. I wish I lived in a perfect world where all hardware and software follow FOSS principles. Until then I will have to rely on the other distros that embrace an imperfect reality. I cannot reconcile how Bluefin targets developers and NVidia, unfortunately is not something many of those developers can afford to ignore. Good luck with your project!
Jorge, OP asked about “not having to really touch anything for a couple of years”. I am just sharing my experience. Big fan of containers and really appreciate your efforts of pulling containers tech into Linux desktop. Thank you!
I don’t understand the answer though. Maybe I am missing something here. There’s an official Bluefin-DX-Nvidia iso. Nvidia-containers-toolkit was part of that iso.
On a separate note, I liked the idea of GTS edition. Since few weeks ago iso became unavailable pending some fix. At the same time I see loads of new LTS edition buzz. It’s still in Alpha though. I feel confused.
Yeah, sure. I was running Bluefin-DX. One day image maintainers decided to replace something and things break.
UBlue is an amazing project. Team is trying hard but it's definitely not zero mainainace. I fear they are chasing so many UBlue flavours, recently an LTS one based on CoreOS, spreading thin.
Wayland makes it complicated, at least until the tools mature. In X11 one could do a lot, using wmctrl and xdotool. For Wayland Gnome, you might want to look at "Run or raise" and "Window calls" extensions. "Grand theft focus" might be handy too if you are switching apps across workspaces.
Furniture was a "luxury" item. We had very a few and ugly options, produced by socialist / plan economy manufacturing industry. Quality wise these were meh... Even then one needed to jump through the hoops to buy the ugly and not very affordable furniture. Rumours about new batch coming to a local store and you have a long queue waiting for hours, sometimes days. Anything better imported from abroad, was super difficult to get hold of. Unless you're a member of the socialist gov and have connections.
Just checked Forge. Seems like repo had been archived 2 days ago. Ouch... I was so hopeful. Maintaining a FOSS project is a lot of work. I am very grateful to all the devs that are doing it. Thisagain reminds thatwe need to donate and support greatdevs. Couldn't help but notice the pattern. Bismuth / KDE, Forge / Gnome.
I was recently surprised by Debian 12. Tried it on my Dell laptop and getting better battery life than Pop!_os. Try this installer which makes life so much easier :)
Oh wow. SUSE family of distribution is relatively small footprint. Whole story sounds like "splitting the hair". The only reasonable explanation is that SUSE hired some self-glorified marketer from big corp. omg...
Sorry, I couldn't manage to read the whole post. Anyway, you may want to try authentik 2024.6 or later. They "reworked proxy provider redirect" in that version. I find it much more stable, but still not perfect. OAuth works great though.
Note that 2024.6 requires Postgre db upgrade.

Sadly SearXNG is plagued by captcha limit. Nothing I tried reliable works.
Italian Competition Authority wants less privacy for the people. I feel like Apple are the good guys in this case.

As a person who grew up in a socialist country, I say be careful what you wish for.

What other problems left to solve? Right, let's change the logo.
I love Americans 🤦 There's the whole world out there with working people depending on cars.
