  • Both GNU and GrapheneOS have staunch requirements and will accept no compromises.

    This is a situation where their requirements don’t align, so they’ll never reach an agreement.

    GrapheneOS, for example, is also strictly against making the Fairphone line of phones a little more secure because it doesn’t meet all of their security requirements

    In this case GNU won’t certify GrapheneOS as fully open because it includes binaries that aren’t open

    The FSF is more along your line of improving the situation where they can












  • To expand - DirectX is a proprietary Windows solution. Any time you pick it on Linux, it will run through a translation layer

    OpenGL/Vulkan are cross-platform

    OpenGL is to DirectX 11 as Vulkan is to DirectX 12

    Microsoft kept the same branding, but also followed in Vulkans/Metals footsteps of using lower level calls to the hardware. This makes the graphics drivers simpler, and can be way more performant because the CPU doesn’t have to do as much

    Hey! Thanks!

    I’ve installed Aurora to my new drive based off the comments here so far, and it’s been pretty smooth bringing my configs over :)

    Immutable is new to me, so I’m wondering how you manage host daemons and cli applications, such as mpd for music and password-store for password management

    Is the best practice to keep one Fedora <current release> distrobox with them?

    Also, are there any issues with upgrading a distrobox to a new major release over time?

    So far my mindset has been make sure I don’t layer anything, but maybe some things like mpd do make sense to layer?

    I also see brew as another option. Perhaps that’s the preferred way for those types of tools? However, it seems like the system upgrade script updates distrobox and not brew?

    Sorry for the rambling question - just trying to understand best practices with an immutable distro 😅
