This.

This has nothing to do with ADHD… mixing up stuff is just confusing people

Thanks for the info

In germany its free but you just dont get a place anywhere. Diagnosis maybe after a year, therapy never.

And you get a blood test to see you dont use Cannabis etc, because 1+1=2

Both have “a risk for phsychosis or shizophrenia”, so combining will obviously lead to crazy dangers. Thats the state of science they are at.

Yep and hope their servers dont have equally bad code.

Interesting on what distro and when did you try that?

I didnt know that it relied on XWayland but that seems outdated anyways

Very nice, thanks for the links.

Where do the sandboxing profiles come from? I suppose from the aisap repo?

He says Windscribe sucks. Mullvad obviously not as they are regularly audited

Meanwhile Windscribe…

Laughing in kwin-wayland

Very interesting project. Cage is a wayland kiosk, right?

But what about doing system updates and stuff like shutting down? KOReader doesnt have such an interface

Having a unique fingerprint is not saying anything. It is often wanted to have randomized data.

I share the exact same experience with you.

I use the ublue kinoite-main base image, not one of their very opinionated variants. It is best as a base, better than Fedoras (even though you need to trust Github 100%)

config creep is solved only partly. I am currently overhauling the kind-of guide here

Local stuff in your home is persistent, and /etc is also persistent.

But we are working on that.

Bazzite has a ton of WINE stuff on the system, not really the “immutable small core” principle. At the same time they uninstall Firefox, while Flatpak Firefox does not support all things.

So I recommend to install Fedora Kinoite from the official website and follow the rebase guideline here at the bottom

~/Applications is no a random place, it comes from macos.

Hahaha I would call that VERY random. It is problematic that the default xdg directories are hidden.

And I just learned that you can just source scripts into bash and thus being executable or not doesnt matter. What an incredible design flaw… at least this just works with some binaries, I guess?

You mean appimagetool

No the Flatpak Appimage Pool. But a solution to easily package a bunch of files sounds really awesome. I miss that for RPMs, sddm2rpm did this kind of.

appman

Very interesting tool. So this is for appimages but also binaries?

I am a bit confused, especially as they state to prefer official releases, which for me means tarballs.

But a very good concept.

Interesting set of apps you have there. And ironically I have to agree they are small. Flatpak libraries are too huge and the deduplication doesnt work if it us not used for downloads and if there are dozens of runtimes.

A modular approach would be very much needed, instead of a damn KDE runtime that is nearly the entire desktop.

But I have some questions.

Yes that’s aisap sandbox

Thats not a sandbox, its a nice wrapper for firejail, at least what they write. I only knew some Github issue where they discussed this, and because Appimages require fuse they couldnt be sandboxed with bubblewrap.

Then they say “bubblewrap is used in Flatpak” but no comment if THEY also use it.

Firejail is the setuid binary I talked about, they likely have fixed their security issues but bubblewrap/bubblejail are probably better as they dont need setuid binaries.

If Appimages are possible to sandbox with bubblewrap, that would for sure be cool.

I also found rustysnakes crabjail, dont know the state it is in, but that is a possible candidate for replacing bubblejail.

right now its biggest limitation is that a sandboxed appimage can’t launch another sandboxed appimage.

No idea if Flatpaks can do that. But I would say the biggest issue is that the big vendors just put their appimage on some file server without any data on the sandbox.

Flatpak is way better here, where the sandbox is checked BEFORE apps are successfully submitted. And there are warnings etc.

And, of course, every app is sandboxed, not just a few.

those menus rely on desktop entries in $XDG_DATA_HOME/Applications.

Not the “create new” to my knowledge. That is in $XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR but I am currently struggling to make Flatpaks use that.

AppImage is just a format, same as a deb or rpm

Yes, so is Flatpak. But Appimages were introduced to be Windows-like. Sure there are companies that dont care and publish random rpms on their website too.

But with Appimages that is the only way as there is no real repo. AppMan is a cludge here, bundling together tons of different sources, kind of like Obtainium.

https://github.com/AppImageCommunity/AppImageUpdate

That tool is either completely finished or kind of abandoned.

Interesting, didnt know they have a signature builtin. That would also be useful.

That zsync2 thing explained in AppMan was just like delta updates. If a malicious actor has access to the old appimage and the fileserver, they can produce the correct zsync2 thing and the updates work, until signature verification is enforced.

I like to keep all the software that I need in my home, because that way I don’t depend on what my distro provides.

As I said, as long as bash script.sh works with nonexecutable stuff, noexec home is pretty worthless. Just another layer of defence.

You mean the APK itself does the signature verification or what?

No, android APKs are like Distro packages, they can be sideloaded however you want and then are forwarded to the “session installer” (on modern android), which is the “package manager” of android.

That installer saves the signature somewhere, and from then on you can only update the APK if the signature was made with the same private key.

Found out you can also not sign APKs, which happened here. I honestly dont know if more developers dont sign their APKs.

I will update my repo text to get to the current state of facts.

Ooooh lol! I thought that was your sky color.

You dont need Redshift, uninstall that. Plasma has its own tool for that.

Did you do some frankenstein install on top of Mint??

Ubuntu is not following mainstream anymore, which is a bad thing. They are the only ones pushing snaps, while every other distro prefers Flatpaks. Their store is closed off and problematic, and the sandboxing only works on distros using AppArmor.

So they are pushing basically new Ubuntu repos, and just dont stop.

Also they theme GNOME apps like hell, have a strange appstore nobody needs (GNOME Software can handle packagekit, flatpak and snaps).

They ALSO now highly push Flutter instead of GTK for whatever reason, which brings inconsistencies, and flutter is nearly abandoned by Google.

Building something from scratch is really overwhelming, and you often pay a lot

Really nice that he used Victorias graphic

Many apps are cross platform so switch apps first.

Then get a secondary SSD with an enclosure and use that. Get a big one so you can also use it for backups. Test the distro there for a while.

And… dont use Ubuntu.

Looks like your accent color automatically gets chosen from the background. But I didnt know that that many icons have different colors??

I only know Dolphin changing color
