a lot of people i know

So…gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.

Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said “I’m on it” to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

software problems

Not having “out of the box” support does not make it a problem tho.

quality of distros

All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

It’s pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn’t go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it’s perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I’m using it as a “lab rat” by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)…? Nah.

You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a “game” itself and DU ET NAO!

…no really. Do it.

…and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.

I tried it once and got ignored like a beggar trying to talk with randoms on the street.

.dotfiles on github

Big/critical files on an external HD

simple as

There is always firejail which is very “even your mom can use it” in terms of usage.

e.g install it, type cd / && sudo firecfg, then your password and thats it.

Not by the slightest.

You can see it by yourself right now if you have docker: docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name ascii-matrix defnotgustavom/ascii-matrix

-EDIT- Whoops. Just realized its a fork. Eeeeeehhhh… it’ll give you a nice idea regardless.

I actually created a new image with it – docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name animatrix defnotgustavom/animatrix

Nice! Hope you have fun with it.

Oh yeah? Then redo the classic doom code in pure bash.

Nice job. Also, I went ahead and made a docker image out of it.

Ub(loa)tu tries to cater to everyone whilst ending up in pleasing no one – it has too much unnecessary clutter.

bemenu. Type stuff in popup, press enter, no confettis thrown on your face.

In a nutshell,

• Use wireshark

• See if theres any weird connections going on (i.e you visit pancakes.com and wireshark shows unrelatedsite.com making a request as well)

• Block unrelatedsite.com

“What about firewalls?”

Block from ports 1000 'till the very end (65565 if I’m not mistaken.) – that is your “bread and butter” approach.

“W-what if I’m using a port past 1000?”

Nah, you (very likely) aren’t and never will.

Have you tried calling your neighbor out and asking him? “Hey! Can I take your shelf?”. Takes like three seconds to sort this out.

I always do minimal installs, so eh… guess that is a “Yes and no” for me.
