Google is certainly planning on it being viable.
They’ve been merging RISC-V support in Android and have documented the minimum extensions over the base ISA that must be implemented for Android certification

Yeah, that’s bizarre. I’d never have guessed /home was created by tmpfiles
Thanks! That sounds like exactly what I’d want to run mpd. I’ll check it out
For virtualization, I’m all good since I went with uBlue instead of Silverblue for now - the developer images come with lxc/lxd/qemu/libvirt :)
To expand - DirectX is a proprietary Windows solution. Any time you pick it on Linux, it will run through a translation layer
OpenGL/Vulkan are cross-platform
OpenGL is to DirectX 11 as Vulkan is to DirectX 12
Microsoft kept the same branding, but also followed in Vulkans/Metals footsteps of using lower level calls to the hardware. This makes the graphics drivers simpler, and can be way more performant because the CPU doesn’t have to do as much
Hey! Thanks!
I’ve installed Aurora to my new drive based off the comments here so far, and it’s been pretty smooth bringing my configs over :)
Immutable is new to me, so I’m wondering how you manage host daemons and cli applications, such as mpd for music and password-store for password management
Is the best practice to keep one Fedora <current release> distrobox with them?
Also, are there any issues with upgrading a distrobox to a new major release over time?
So far my mindset has been make sure I don’t layer anything, but maybe some things like mpd do make sense to layer?
I also see brew
as another option. Perhaps that’s the preferred way for those types of tools? However, it seems like the system upgrade script updates distrobox and not brew?
Sorry for the rambling question - just trying to understand best practices with an immutable distro 😅
They’re saying that it only works if your browser is installed natively and your password manager is sandboxed, which is the exact opposite of what you’d want
The browser is the vulnerable software that needs sandboxing
Both being sandboxed would be fine, too
I wonder if development has actually accelerated, or if this is just a change in the approach to the release/versioning process
Both.
Development has increased, but you should use your comparison from the last 2.6 release.
It stayed on 2.6.y for 8 years - that was where it got stable enough that there wasn’t some major milestone to use as a new marker for its update number
There are cool new features, but if it followed the old versioning scheme, we’d still be on 2.6 because it hasn’t (intentionally) broken the API between the kernel and userspace
Wait. He lost a finger or toe???
Edit: more seriously it’s been since 3.0 after being on 2.6 forever
there are no special landmark features or incompatibilities related to the version number change, it’s simply a way to drop an inconvenient numbering system
It used to only get bumped after a major new feature update, but it was stable enough at 2.6 that it got stuck there for 8 years, so he switched to a different update number
A big thing the other comments are missing is that just running the iptables rule only works for the current boot. You need something to rerun it every restart
ufw is a front end to make it easier to use them
If you want/need more control, you should look into /etc/iptables/rules.d config files
Edit: or depending on what your distro already has, the firewalld comment makes a lot of sense. E.g. that’s Fedora’s default front end
Looks like it’s behind an about:config setting, media.webrtc.camera.allow-pipewire

LXC is for containers, rather than virtual machines
I was just saying “obsolete” isn’t a good description; All three still have uses depending on your goals
LXC is probably better for most people, and I think Podman is one of the best rootless container options
Xen is a type 1 hypervisor, KVM is a type 2 hypervisor
It runs on the bare metal itself as dom0
The issue is that “5G” is three different bands in one name
In the places where it’s low-band 5G and LTE is also available, LTE is significantly faster
If you’re in the downtown of a major city, high-band “mmWave” 5G will be faster
I tested where I happen to be, and T-mobile 5G was 7 Mbps and LTE was 34 Mbps
I’m not saying 5G can’t be better, but it’s rarely been better on T-mobile for me in about 5 different states in the US
pack our plans with value and build out the industry’s best 5G network
I’ve generally needed to disable 5G on their network because it was slower than LTE. 5G has only been useful in places they didn’t have coverage before in my experience
Buy it for life
Huh?
32-bit ARM and x86 were both from 1985…
It did take ARM a lot longer to make 64-bit work
I can’t speak for Apple, but every company I’ve worked for has split their region reporting as soon as one of the traditionally smaller regions gets big enough
It creates hype and a boost to their stock price
It depends on the wake up source you’re talking about, but, yes
Your BIOS can configure the hardware, then Windows gets to modify parts of the configuration through ACPI
You have to enable developer mode and install with
--bypass-low-target-sdk-block
now.Dunno if they’ll remove that eventually
