Ah, I did the exact same about a week ago. To be fair, I installed Kinoite on a second laptop, because I really need my working setup for the next couple of weeks. So I am not forced to use the Kinoite.

The thing that mostly drives me back to Arch, ist that I dont really understand the different appoaches of flatpak, toolbox and the package layering, or more their specific pros and cons and when I want/have to use what, depending also on my threat model.

I even struggled to get my Thunderbird working with my old config, because it wouldn’t recognize my .thunderbird in /var/apps/net.thunderbird.Thunderbird/...

Although Fedora has a quite good documentation, which I read with joy (which is not usual) I feel that I am missing some graphical depiction, or something :D

I think the last 2 days I didn’t touch this, because I was thinking about writing a lemmy post, with the following:

1. What are the most obvious things one has to learn/understand, before switching from arch to immutable (esp. kinoite) ?
2. What steps in your workflow changed, and how do you feel about them? Like do you like them? Is it annoying, but you know it’s for good so you still do it? Do you really don’t like something?

Thanks for your post, it came just at the right time :D

I think it heavily depends on the files one has to browes the most. I deal with text files all the time, so i dont need an icon to jump in my face telling me, that its a text file.

The media-, design people I know love the previews that icons give them, because its much easier to spot the image file, they are looking for while scanning through a directory

Did you add yourself to the libvirt group? And check the permissions of the image it self, maybe thats the issue

I think there is a typo in the path in the body of your post, or?

+1 that question, I’ve also never installed/used OpenCloud, simply because I didn’t see the benefit of it until now.

Based on the comments given so far, I have some hope that over time, the Go-approach could give us a more resource saving, but feature full alternative to tangle with, so I will stay tuned :)

For now I will stick to Nextcloud, because it gives me all the features I need and the maintanance, at least for the couple-hundred-user-instances I maintain, is not that bad, as I often read around the web :) But I also can understand, that people wish to have less maintenance struggles and therefor try sth else, wich is good for me, so I can hope for more experience reports in the near future :p

Then, only the vpn provider would see the very same traffic, the ISP would see without vpn.

The ISP would just see your connection to the vpn provider.

The sites themselve would just see the vpn ip.

So it’s not the question about whether anyone sees the traffic, but who.

Only Tor would hide this traffic in a sense.

Yes, sorry for missunderstanding !

Ok, typing in the password but not seeing any characters (like * e.g.) is quite common. It prevents shoulder surfers from seeing the acual length of you password.

That means, that its still possible, that you keyboard is actually working there.

Are you using a layout different from US-ANSI ? Sometimes devices fall back to US layout during boot, which would lead to you typing in a “wrong” password, without noticing it. Especially special characters have different keys on different layouts. On german layout e.g. “y” and “z” are “swapped”.

Just partly related, and probably no help here - but about the fact, that you can’t type in that password (regardless whether you can remember it or not):

you probably use a bluetooth keyboard on that surface? Before boot is finished, bluetooth connection is not possible, so you need some sort of USB/serial keyboard to even type.

Had this issue when full disk encrypting a surface, because without usb (or the original serial) keyboard your stuck in the luks mount process during boot…

Thanks for the write up!! :)

Could anybody in short explain, what I have to understand from “it’s tagged”?

The commit shows that there was a longer with 3.0.0 tag before and now its just 3.0.0

What does that tell us? :D

Thanks for your efforts, I just tested it, but it still doesn’t work. The rule still directly gets parsed as a string. I don’t get it, there must be a way to call a variable inside a variable inside a template, or ?!?

I just realized this works if the template is located in the global templates directory, instead of the roles own template directory. I have to think about this, because I actually want to have all this collected together inside the role itself…

This seems like a normal cheap android phone with a bootloader-unlocked operating system and some pre-installed ad-block and rethinkDNS’ish Apps imstalled?

And no offence, but the advertising video itself is more scamy then the wedding-dress shop around the corner that is always closed and dusty, but still paying a horrendous amount of rent each month…

The ansible.builtin.template

Just with the arguments src and dest

I saw that there is a possible argument template_variables which requires a dictionary, but I couldn’t find out, how to use it, or whether to use it at all?

I postet a screenshots from https://manjaro.org/products website where they have a stock photo of a macbook besides the download button for the desktop .iso

Know theres another macbook stockphoto at gnomes website.

So either there are no other laptops produced that fit the highly enterpr1se entrepreneur busine5s investment1t!1! life style of the regular linux users who visit these websites, or manjaro and gnome are all investing in asahi linux secretly.

I understand that the iphone became a synonym for “mobile phone” especially when it comes to graphics. The unique look of them, especially when they still had their home button, makes it very easy to draw one on a computer e.g.

And macbooks are widely used by professionals of all disciplines, so yes, macbooks are associated with profession.

All fine, but why on a Linux-Distro website, like manjaro ?! Why on Gnome? Apples not really invested in getting open source software running on their systems, so where come the probs from and what for?

I do the exact same thing as OP with KeepassDX at work and works pretty nice so far, since I gave KeepassDX the right acces rights on the nextxloud directory.

What diferences have you figured out so far with Keepass2android in comparison ?

I see lots of sidekicks against Manjaro, it’s a thing apparently :D I am using manjaro on a framework 16 for about a year now and it never broke anything, just works wonderful for me, although I dont have any fancy requirements other than a working Linux.

But i would be interested in the critics about the team and their “bad” decisions, as stated in some comments. What were the problems?

Yes it is.
