The distro doesn’t matter, the Desktop Environment does.
If they are used to MacOS and want something simple and “out of the way”, go with Gnome.
If they are used to Windows, go with KDE.
Fedora is probably the most straightforward to install and manage right now. You won’t need to “lock down” anything if you don’t give them sudo credentials.and just a regular user account.
Open Source projects get lots of free features for being on GitHub. Nobody else is beating that offering at current.
Linux is the most deployed OS on the planet, and the comparisons are not even close.
If you mean just for Desktop, it depends on what’s happening with the MacBook Neo, and if Microsoft gets their shit together and reverses course I suppose.
This has more details: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring/SecurityFAQ
The security model skews towards convenience versus absolute security, meaning automation is it’s goal, not perfect security. They use a reasonable amount of security to protect unauthorized access, meaning untrusted apps can’t access keys by default, and container apps only have selective access. AppArmor is supposed to be handling some DBUS interactions in the background to prevent any old app from grabbing everything, but again, automation is the purpose here.
If you don’t have a reasonably trusted system, then sure, it’s about as secure as any other password manager. I remember reading some time ago there was a plan to make a global framework for trusted application.accessnto things like this, but it was shot down for being “oppressive” in the same way as Microsoft’s trust app mess.
Ideally there would be an advanced mode where each app is granted access to specific keys, and that interaction is controlled by the user. This would never be the default obviously as the user interaction would be an insane annoyance to people who don’t care.
They should have some sort of static code scanners on the repos at rest at this point that look for certain patterns and issue warnings.
Good thing almost all flavors of Linux run flawlessly on the x86 models.
5G was mostly about cramming more connections into the spectrum and expanding broadcast range (as well as some other things), but it wasn’t just about node speed on the network.
Same as you would on MacOS :
I have no idea why someone would be using Debian packages to distribute something like this though, if that’s the question. Absolutely not going to work well.
Well that engineer is fired.
I thought the last couple moves were the nail in the coffin, but this might be it 🤣
You’ll still be running into frequent issues if you go with R-V, so be warned.
That being said, the Framework R-V board only comes for the 13" format, so you can buy a cheap Framework 13 refurb from their store (fully warranted and everything), and swap the board out for the R-V for $200.
There are other R-V laptops out there, but I think the build quality is nowhere near the Framework, AND if you feel like it sucks, just swap that board back with the one it shipped with.
If you just want the machine to do something only WHEN it detects the TV, that’s a bit different. You want an HDMI or DP switcher. You can just make a tiny listener for DBUS events that launches BPM when it detects the TV coming online.
Simple bash script set to run once your DE is loaded would do it. Detect the TV with xrandr or equivalent, then start Steam in BPM. If not, do nothing.
Yet none of this will reduce Fuckerberg’s cash pile. We need to take that back.
This sounds like some RFK “facts” bullshit. I assume the number is not actually zero, but will wait for the math.
Clop Slop
Also, possibly an STI? “They got the Clop Slop!”
Edit: Actually, I think just “Clop” works
MacOS, phones, off-brand handhelds that run SteamOS…that’s the goal.
Having been in the app store development community for a decade, this isn’t honestly the WORST thing. So much malware gets pushed now it’s a fucking gha-tto. This isn’t the worst thing to combat, though I believe there should be a FREE tier for Open Source or otherwise community-driven apps to be released on with zero barriers - AGAIN, oenisn game sort of verification which could be cheap, reliable and FREE.
