  • Profiles are under “System” section in settings, biometrics are optional

    you may like to know about LocalSend, it’s a file transfer software that uses your network (but not your internet) so it’s very fast, it has encryption, a web version, and it’s cross platform



  • Im trying to understand how UMU uses prefixes

    plain Wine prefixes work just like a Windows drive, I just execute WineCFG or regedit or install more software in the same prefix if I need to

    but UMU seems even more focused to the one program per prefix approach

    I know it uses a read only runtime, but how does it use prefixes? Bottles doesn’t treat them like they do with Wine ones (allowing you to add shortcuts for different programs in the prefix for example, but Bottles offers you to use Game Files outside of the prefix too)











    • the corporate side of Red Hat is far less evident on Fedora than Canonical’s on Ubuntu

    • vanilla UX

    • Atomic editions

    • fast yet stable updates

    • more lightweight ISO

    it also has disadvantages, specially for nontechnical folks

    • Free Software Policy (NVIDIA drivers and some codecs not pre-installed)
    • non LTS version available (Atomic desktops are easier to manage if keeping un-updated for very long periods)
    • it uses RPM packages which are good, but there might be some software only offering DEBs (containers and extraction tools can help with that)





  • not hating, just saying that now that systemd-boot is being seen as a “modern” successor to GRUB it would feel to people who don’t like systemd like “oh no they’re replacing another standard tool with their own thing”

    but the thing is, a lot of systemd tools have been adopted because they actually made work easier for people maintaining projects

    I’m using Universal Blue as a reference because of their position of adopting novelty tools like bootc even before Fedora

    now, their newest project Dakota is going to use systemd-boot to provide a full chain of trust

    maybe systemd-boot seemed like the best option, it’s not like sD devs forced them to adopt their option

    so it’s nice to see ACTUAL good projects so the freedom to choose doesn’t always mean giving up to the “best/easier” option
