I see how the website gives that impression, which I assume is an attempt to push non-technical users toward an install method that does not lead to support requests and helps fund the project.

The site also mentions that you can build it from source for free, so it’s not technically claiming that it’s only available from the Play store. If you follow that link, you’ll see that availability on F-Droid is prominently displayed on the README.

Huh? Which messenger requires a Google account? I’ve been using both Element and Conversations on Google-free Android devices with accounts not connected to Google for years.

If a distribution didn’t come with any default software, it would be unusable out of the box by the average user. If you want that, choose something like Arch or Gentoo or LFS.

The point of FOSS is freedom and choice. You can choose a distribution that aligns with your needs, and once it’s running, you can e.g. replace Firefox with Chrome or use Nautilus instead of Thunar. Try uninstalling IE/Edge or Explorer on Windows for a direct comparison.

some areas have active nextdoor.com marketplaces, but you have to prove your residence by receiving a code in the mail.

Brew for native commandline apps, Distrobox for software that runs on other distros. Boxbuddy (GUI) is an easy tool to create and manage distroboxes, and the default terminal app, ptyxis, allows you to switch distros easily from the top-left dropdown.

And more options in the Bazzite docs https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/

This reminds me of Harder Drive http://tom7.org/harder/

An alternative is to bind mount the appcompat folder from your linux steam into the steam library on your windows drive.

I really hope Bazzite manages to smooth out the last few snags and use cases for dual-boot so that I can recommend it to more non-techy people without needing to explain stuff like this or the unintuitive process of importing installed windows games into Lutris.

Maybe someone should do a follow up experiment to see how different the “mural” would have to be for the car to recognise it. A human would obviously not fall for something like an artistic picture of a fantasy land, but would a Tesla?

We appreciate your well thought out and constructive comment, but the one you were replying to was about the cameras themselves not having any expectation of privacy, a reversal of the common excuse from the camera owners that your comment addresses.

make install typically also handles copying things like libraries, shared assets, and docs as needed, but yeah precompiled software is usually a tar… or loading a downloaded package file into the package manager.

Andor’s Trail - RPG where you search for your missing brother. Still under development, but there’s a lot of content. It’s convenient to fill a few spare minutes or waste hours.

/usr/bin

There, no clicking needed. 🙃

“Not my problem” code

I believe you can do this with DAVx5. I have calendars syncing to fossify with it.

Most of the US is ‘at will’ forever for almost any job.

I feel like the comment was sarcastic. At least, that’s how I read it in my head.

I ran Debian Sid on my primary computer for a few years, and it broke hard several times, requiring things like booting into recovery and package dependency untangling to fix. It was years ago, so they might have better safeguards against that now, but there’s no way I’d recommend that to a new Linux Desktop user.
