Escalator is smart, because if it breaks, you can still walk to space.

As an elder millennial: what?

Thanks! Luckily, drones aren’t really much of a threat to us, at least not consumer drones. Autonomous delivery drones though…yikes.

Watching this video is what caused me to come to the conclusion that those kinds of drones aren’t really a threat.

I saved this for later and just tried to watch it. The video is down. I’m curious what this incident is. I fly a paramotor myself.

Debian sounds like a great fit for you. But it’s good to know that Universal Blue has a lot of tools available for installing and tinkering that many just don’t know about. They are extremely powerful OSs.

Who knows. People are passionate about Linux. And downvoting takes no effort. And people downvote stuff randomly.

And Homebrew. I’m a developer and I’ve done all my work just with Homebrew.

You have to reboot machines to run secure kernel code. High uptime means running outdated, vulnerable system code.

Did you ever try using Distrobox? That’s the recommended way if installing random apps.

These distros are great for beginners or less technically savvy. They’re really just harder for people who have been using Linux forever and are very accustomed to the old ways.

Immutable are the ultimate tinkerer’s distros. It’s just a different way of tinkering. True tinkering in immutable means creating your own image from the base image and that allows you to add or remove packages, change configs, services, etc.

Example: you create your own image. You decide you want to try something, but you’re being cautious. So you create a new image based on your first with your changes. You try it out and you don’t like it or it doesn’t work for some reason, you can just revert back to you other image.

Another thing worth mentioning, with these distros, you can switch between images at will. I’m new to Linux as my daily driver desktop OS, and I’ve rebased three times. It’s really cool to be able to do that.

You can install packages in immutable distros. It’s just not as easy and recommended as a last resort.

With Universal Blue (Bazzite, Bluefin, Aurora) you can install packages with “layering”. It’s basically modifying the image by adding packages on top of what is shipped by the distro, and those packages get added each time the image is updated.

The better, more involved solution is to create your own image from the base image. That gives you a lot more control. You can even remove packages from the base image.

Hopefully you’ve had time to read some ify the replies from the folks behind Bazzite.

I would argue that it’s not bad marketing because no one is marketing it. Universal Blue, and by extension Bazzite, is a purely FOSS, community run endeavor.

Just because cloud became an over used buzzword by tech vulture capitalists, doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to what they’re doing, and it doesn’t mean that it’s suspicious.

Universal Blue is built by good folks making good shit.

Oh hey Jorge! 👋

Diablo 3 has nearly infinitely scaling difficulty. If it was too easy, you were playing on too low of a difficulty.

I didn’t think it’s just Arch , though. IIRC it’s also immutable.

For gamers, by gamers.

No reason you can’t use NixOS in a VM on Proxmox.

My container host OS is another immutable, uCore, which I run in a VM on Proxmox.

I was also using Fusion 360 in Windows, but I recently learned FreeCAD. The new version of it is great.
