I am aware secure boot doesn’t require a TPM, but I’ve always been confused by its purpose since it’s trivial to disable. Makes sense if you use it in conjunction with TPM measurements. I personally encrypt all my filesystems except my /boot which is also my ESP, I use the efistub and that’s good enough for loss of device. For a physical attacker with actual skills I’m SOL, it’s not that I don’t want to protect against it, I just couldn’t figure out a reliable way to.

By that statement I take it then without TPM you basically can’t have truly secure secure boot? Since the password is your protection from secure boot tampering but the TPM is your protection from password tampering

The last time I tried enabling a UEFI password clearing the CMOS would clear it. I haven’t tried on my latest mobo…but I’m just putting it out there that SOME UEFIs do that

I’d argue any solution necessitates secure boot, not just the efistub. If someone is determined enough to modify your kernel they’ll be determined enough to modify your bootloader

I wonder the same especially because it won’t do anything for the game itself. Yeah, all the system components the game uses might be a touch faster but the game itself won’t be compiled with any of these optimizations.

He says it was unexpected but it’s been being talked about on the GitHub for quite some time now. It was really just a matter of when they decided to do it.

The Manjaro maintainers are a bunch of clowns. Constantly letting TLS certificates expire, enabling an indev, broken driver on Macs without asking the asahi devs why it was disabled in the first place… literally clowns

A lot of companies run Debian and Debian based distros, Google on their servers for a start

If you’re using systemd they just recently introduced run0 which works very similarly to what’s talked about here

Should probably fix that given we’ve been out of IPv4 for over a decade now and v6 is only becoming more widely deployed

This sums up how I feel nicely. No issues with parens…but whitespace…fuck that shit

Always has? It’s supported java and I think python for forever

Huh, tbh I’ve never given KDE a real try. I used it way back in the day on OpenSUSE because I wanted a windows experience but that was when I was still playing around with Linux. I’ve never used it full time. My first full time DE was cinnamon and eventually I decided I wanted something radically different and so went to gnome 3 and never really considered KDE as radically different from anything I had used before.

LOL, yeah, honestly with how hard I got ratioed it’s like I offended someone XD. I just found it an odd choice to complain about windows aesthetics and then be like “here’s my fancier windows” but to each their own. Anyway, glad you like the project and find it useful.

That’s fair, also I’m not saying KDE doesn’t have a use case, for example people who are tired of windows for one reason or another but like the windows UI. Cinnamon has a similar use case which is one of many reasons I think mint is a great starter distro. I just found it odd that somebody who didn’t like the windows UI went to that desktop over the other less Windows like desktops. Comment got ratioed so hard people seem to think I’m hating on the guy or his rice but I just find it odd to not like the windows UI and then go to one of the most Windows like desktops.

🤔 I’m actually surprised it’s THIS customizable. We’re talking functionally right? Not just style. Idk I guess I’m not a huge fan of the “start menu/task bar” and having a desktop, maybe I’m the weird one though. I ran vanilla gnome and then sway so desktops and taskbars and all of that aren’t really my thing.

Yes I do lol, not very often I get recognized in the wild. Hello.

The windows UI being boring doesn’t necessarily have to be caused by a lack of customizability. The windows UI is just a boring UI design even if you make it more customizable. Makes it better, but doesn’t fix the problem IMO.

🤔 hating the windows UI and then going to KDE which is basically a more customizable windows UI seems…odd

Tom Scott actually has a video about this which also talks about why you can’t end sentences with contractions. https://youtu.be/CkZyZFa5qO0
