Reason 4 (bonus) Fussing, fussing, fussing!
I’ve used a bit xrdp and even less vnc. Can you please elaborate why is rdp better?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
GrapheneOS is only available for Pixel phones, so maybe that’s why they suggest /e/os.
I still don’t get why GNOME moved to RDP instead of sticking with VNC.
Embracing Microsoft technologies to better fit offices?
I don’t use searxng because I’m comfortable with ddg instant answers. We should build an open source alternative like duckduckhack.
Edit: Dunno why people downvoted, but in my opinion having a local js “addon” which for example can convert inch to cm if you search for “2inch in cm” (obviously all should be locally processed) would be very useful.
Asking a parrot if its house is safe.
I use DDG, BTW. But searxng is very cool.
is there any hidden data collection I should be aware of ?
Aka backdoors.
They played cat and mouse for a while, Facebook (Meta) moving the backdoor and NSO finding it again. I don’t trust their software.
Thanks for the alternatives.
I’m currently using a used ('cause fuck Google, you’re not gettin my money) Pixel phone with GrapheneOS (since my Pinephone stopped turning on) with TrackerControl and InviZible Pro. Is nice having a real clean AOSP rom with privacy/security customization.
GrapheneOS also provide an indeed cool feature: a proxy for Android services provided by Google, like Attestation key provisioning, Widevine provisioning, SUPL and PSDS. Does CalyxOS and/or LineageOS provide something like this?
Thanks in advance.
What privacy oriented rom do you suggest?
Anyway happy cake day!
I know Microsoft gave Gnome a donation of 10.000$ because they use Ubuntu (which use Gnome) and inside the repo (inside SPECS folder) I’ve seen gnome-commons to build gnoem stuff.
But yes, this is probably a server distro without a DE.
Seems to be based mostly on Fedora by reading the Readme.
I would like to know if it does use systemd and/or other redhat technologies.
In the readme they mention Qt, does anyone know what DE do they use?
It’s just the norm to post the source, but in this case the source is on a shitty platform.
Mostly of packages from Fedora is also Flatpaks from Red Hat’s server (not Flathub)
That’s not true. Fedora used to have a Fedora flatpak repo but now they simply ship with flathub enabled by default.
About RPM, I don’t know if Gnome Software Center is able to handle it
Yes, it can
Fedora asks you to enable third party non-foss repos like Steam and Chrome, but still you have to manually enable rpmfusion. Plus idk if new install of Fedora ships codecs pre-installed.
Wasn’t talking just about Linux, but any other OS which is not Microsoft. For office stuff even chromeOS is enough really. If they have to change hardware to update Windows they could just go for an alternative for much less. Still this will be the minority of course
I hope they stick with recall and other BS so offices would hopely make the switch to other OSes once W10 will be EOL.
I use fennec (firefox from f-droid) with uBlock using all the filters, so I get no popups anymore.
Can opt to automatically open links in private navigation too.
Reject all not essential
It does, because I’ve tried to install some apps from Aurora store (denying network permission) and then I saw these requests on TrackerControl, so maybe those apps wantend to be opened by default with these links. We are talking about video player apps, so there is no need to default on them for Amazon.
