  • I largely agree. Qubes may not be as user friendly as others, but honestly I think it is the only OS which can get close to Android’s level of security (of course, by taking a hammer to most privilege escalation problems).

    I have heard about Accrescent but I’ll wait till it gets more popular before I jump.

    Google being broken up might mean the beginning of a demise of both Chromium and Firefox. So we better get on a new engine quick or things are about to get a lot worse.

    Unfortunately, I have not found a better way to install the few playstore apps that I need without Aurora store. I guess using it in a different namespace (is that what Shelter does?) is an option.

    Great note










  • Debian with XFCE here - I do just have a single monitor though so I suppose I’m not running into complicated display issues anytime soon. It has been extremely solid, I forget to update my system for months on end and then remember to do it one day and it just works. XFCE is boring like Debian but that’s why I like it: it stays out of my way.

    I work on RHEL at my day job so Linux isn’t just a hobby for me, and I love being free from Windows. Honestly the only thing I keep a windows VM around for is an installation of Adobe Acrobat PDF reader because I’m too lazy to set up signatures on Linux since I don’t sign that many documents anyway. And maybe a couple of windows servers from a few keys I’ve got lying around to learn AD on.
