Trying to read more theory
I love technology, FOSS, learning languages, history, and philosophy
I think that would be absolutely pointless. The advantages of having a system that’s free to study, audit, modify, and contribute to goes away once you make it rely on proprietary software to work at all. In fact that’s not FOSS. There are already desktop operating system that works this way, with an open source kernel and core but reliant on proprietary software, with first party levels of support: they’re called macOS and ChromeOS
Audile should do the trick
I am so glad I didn’t renew my subscription in September sheesh
I would point you towards EndeavourOS. It’s pretty much just preconfigured Arch, so you get the same rolling release packages as Manjaro and retain access to the AUR. Its a solid project, IMO it does everything that Manjaro claims and fails to
You can also run a distrobox and install stuff normally from whatever distro’s repos, then export the applications so they’re available like native. Works really seamlessly in my experience
I use fedora-based atomic distros for the reliability and security. Nothing else really runs SELinux out of the box and I care about security so that’s a necessary baseline. I roll my own distro though using BlueBuild, and base it off the SecureBlue image of Silverblue. Just using SecureBlue gets you nearly to what I use though
Qbittorrent with gluetun routing traffic to Mullvad. Content added to qb via the *arr suite. All downloads go to my ZFS pool on the same server, then I use Jellyfin for viewing media and syncthing to move books to my tablet. All the services are running in docker containers on a fedora server host, which I’ve hardened for security. I don’t expose anything to the network, all access is through tailscale
I think it’s like 60-70% and declining nowadays
How’s your experience with cosmic? I’m using a very similar setup with a custom bluebuild image pulling from secureblue. Currently on Gnome but impatiently waiting for cosmic to hit some level of stability
I’m hoping he can dodge those papers forever
