This is great to see, and should definitely be front and center for new users! At first glance it seems to have good coverage of the things people run into when working with user profiles.

If there are any left I'd like one!

One thought: when I moved to GrapheneOS, I did not understand how it related to my threat model. I attempted to use multiple profiles, as this is a feature that many people who use GrapheneOS value. I had no concept of my real risk, and tried to segregated FOSS from non-FOSS, etc. This IS actually a bit difficult for the layperson vs stock Android. Things like notifications and app installation work differently at the end user level; e.g., use FDroid vs Google Play, no FCM notification functionality and having to manually configure a replacement.

However, the layperson, using a single profile and sandboxed google play, is already better off than any project out there from my understanding. For adoption, that's what I would be advertising for GrapheneOS. It just needs a one page explanation of the simple features and advantages for the person coming fresh from stock Android, and avoid (on that page only) getting into the tools for more advanced threat models.

This is a review with Windows installed, not SteamOS

Vesktop is great. However, with the Discord IPO looming (https://www.ign.com/articles/discord-is-reportedly-exploring-an-ipo) it is definitely time to abandon ship.

So it looks like the protocol was audited, but I don't know about the app or servers. https://www.pindrop.com/article/audit-signal-protocol-finds-secure-trustworthy/

Lmao this is amazing. The future is now...

The openSUSE matrix server had this happen last year, and the admins came up with a good solution of bots that seems to keep things very clean now. I'm sure they might be happy to help if you asked in their admins group

If you set up the system like openSUSE then it makes sense snapper would work. I'd look at the openSUSE docs, its not like btrfs is different in Gentoo right? https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:BTRFS#Default_Subvolumes

Apparently this is a tough problem for mobile devices... GrapheneOS (security hardened OS based on Android) took months to fix a leak someone reported, and had to collaborate with the VPN app providers to do it https://github.com/GrapheneOS/os-issue-tracker/issues/3442

Yeah good luck running this on Windows 10/11 and modern networking... definitely better to try Beyond All Reason

Yeah... I'm laughing at this guy saying the AUR is much better than installing from a random Github repo. Same level of trust haha.

Also, not everybody NEEDS to know how something works to use it. And, just getting someone onto Linux in the first place with a 90% working system seems better to me than them working hours and hours to build a minimal system in Arch ... because it would take even more hours to replicate their workflow on Windows or Mac. I think this is a great example of "perfect is the enemy of good" when trying to get people to adopt something.

However, I definitely believe that if you want perfection, you go to Arch or a derivative and you do it yourself, no automation. But that should be a choice... I do plan on one day switching from Tumbleweed to Arch, but I am not ready for the time commitment. Plus, NVIDIA finally fixed their shit, so I want to enjoy playing games for a while now that the weird issues and visual artifacts caused by the old non-explicit-sync drivers are gone!
