Lol someone hasn’t actually worked with immutable distros. What precisely can’t be layered on bazzite with rpm-ostree?

Tailscale
I love following this cause I hate Elmo muskrat, the stock is currently being propped up by the robo-taxi service tesla is about to launch. Thing is it already looks like it’s gonna be a shit show and they’ve already said live humans will have to monitor them. I hope it launches, flops, and TSLA hoes though a decade of market correction in like a month.
Fair enough i was trying to have a more positive message but I consider the Reagan era to be the largest turning point for the US’s decline tbh. Of course the 50-70s were horrendous if you were a poc but at least that was getting corrected in the 70s and 80s. Unfortunately while civil rights was making strides during that time Reagan started targeting those communities with the war on drugs. Once we started the new age slavery program (privatization of our punal system) the US started on this fucked trajectory. This is all just my opinion of course
Yeah there is, I get it though. I’ve noticed that in myself I have a much shorter fuse now. I try not to take it out on people because I recognize it’s just misplaced frustration.
Part of the reason I made this post was to just let people get all of their vitriol and upset feelings out, if even a little.
It’s of course not helpful to shout in the void but it also alleviates some of that frustration people feel. I thought it may be a bit therapeutic to give strangers a little spot to direct some of that negativity to.
Thank you for the kind words and your quotation perfectly sums up the response I’m trying to maintain in my mind, if only for my own sanity.
I don’t think this will happen
this is purely me trying to find any crumb of hope in this abysmal situation
It’s more about the less people have to lose the more they are willing to risk
Work in an industry that uses raw RE oxides to produce medical equipment.
We are fucking toast if these tariffs and restrictions are kept.
You literally can’t get some of these REs anywhere else in the world as in the natural abundance is literally only in china.
What you said is correct I imagine but some of the REs are utilized in a raw format in us based plants.
Yeah I despise LLMs ( really they are fine what I actually hate is how much it’s getting shoved into things) but I won’t act like they don’t have any use cases. It’s a bit obstinate to act like they have no use.
What community would be more appropriate? I’m pretty loose with fediverse communities. I’d rather throw more content up even if it’s not the best fit just to give Lemmy more content and this post got a shitton of interaction

I love the “but it pays for schools” argument, like how about we drop 3 less bombs per year and just pay for all the schools out of the existing tax pool like it should be.
Gotta be one of the most dogshit takes I’ve ever seen, hope you’re evicted one day!
Am chemist can confirm, I would look at a coworker real funny if they said un-ionized
So I’m newer to Linux as a whole so some of this maybe a bit off but:
Immutable distros big difference is you can’t mess with the root partition ( you can there are just more steps involved), it’s read only. The advantage to this is it’s harder to fuck up your system, and it’s described as more secure. The downside is if you need a program that isn’t available in a flatpack, snap, or app image it’s a pain in the ass. Bazzite ships with distrobox which essential allows you to run a different distro in a container to use programs available to that distro, ex: you can run the Debian version of Firefox on a fedora system. Not all issues can be avoided with this, compiling code for instance is still a nightmare with distrobox
Now the good things: no live updates so an update won’t get messed up from a live install The system will update in the background and then when you fire it up next time THEN you are in the updated version. Bazzite is atomic specifically (an immutable subset) that applies updates all at once or not at all if it fails, you can also always roll back to a previous version at the GRUB menu. After it updates to the new image it then applies the local personal layers, so every update it kinda like starting with a fresh install
The main thing to look for is that any apps you want to use are supported in a flakpack, if all you are doing is gaming then you shouldn’t have to worry, both lutris and steam come with bazzite
Here is a link to a Lemmy post with community opinions on immutable distros
Dude bazzite is the shit, I have it installed for my gaming PC. I don’t think I will use a mutable distro for a gaming rig again
I had a point in here somewhere but I’m so tired i lost it so feel free use your imagination
Fuck I feel this, I have to delete comments halfway through writing them sometimes because I meandered too far from the original point and forgot was I was trying to say
The whole point of Linux is to tinker
Fair enough but the sole reason I went to Linux is because I despise Microsoft. I wanted a less bloated, not ad ridden, and more customized( mainly just the GUI) experience that gave me more control over my PC. Now I only use this PC for gaming and streaming, so really I just want those two things to work with as little fiddling as possible. Obviously everyone’s use case is different and immutable is definitely not a good choice for power users (from what I’ve read).
Gotcha I was just wondering what the limitations are, I’m still messing with and I’ve not hit one yet but I was curious where they pop up. So for devs immutable distros don’t play well, that definitely makes sense!
To expose your services easily and securely look up tailscale it’s completely free and is setup per device, ex download on your moms phone and you can manage that phones access.
Tailscale uses wiregaurd and some weird ass NAT magic to make every device have direct connections to each other creating a “tailnet”
It’s a zero trust architecture so you have to whitelist every device on it. What that means practically is it’s very difficult to compromise and that’s by it’s nature. You don’t have to have a high technical level to be very secure using tailscale.
There is also twingate which I think is similar but I’m not as familiar with twingate
