    encrypt your home directory stated as such doesn’t mean encrypt ANY partition. Distros that offer this normally use ecryptfs. encrypting your partition uses LUKS. They use ecryptfs because its easy and doesn’t effect the boot up process. Full disk (or partition) uses LUKS

    On a single user system which either hibernates or shuts fully down you might as well long in automatically after you type in your 16 character encryption pass phrase. A login screen does not in any way provide additional security. Note this doesn’t actually prevent you from locking the screen and unlocking still requires your password.



  • You said we should give our money to the privacy respecting waterfox and librewolf. This is laudable but waterfox is a build of old firefox and librewolf is a build of new firefox. Much like doordash is only a way to get burgers from a grill to your door they are not themselves an alternative to $burger-joint librewolf is only a way to get what ls basically Firefox to your machine without the extra crap you don’t want.

    Even if you support librewolf you won’t have a viable alternative browser because they are functionally incapable of making one and there is no reason to believe making one is even their mission. You aren’t actually replacing firefox just consuming it in a downstream configuration. Furthermore if they die librewolf and waterfox will absolutely cease to be useful because again they are incapable of delivering a browser the same way supporting door dash alone will leave you without anyone to cook your food.

    $burger-joint should have thought about that before making Door Dash the only usable ordering method, cramming AI into their lobby.

    This is basically bullcrap. There is at this point nothing you even need disable. At such time as it exits it will be probably consist of what a setting in config and a toolbar button to remove so hard. Whine harder.

    KDE by default doesn’t have a mac style global menu. If the third party extension that provides this looks fancy but doesn’t work perfectly ask the devs to do more free work or roll up your sleeves. In any case its not part of KDE.

    If you use a proper style sheet/dark theme for both QT and GTK and set flatpak to use it you really shouldn’t have any complaints about dark themes save for websites. Trying to make websites all dark themed is a fools errand. You’ll eventually find that some don’t style right if you force it.

    Use integer scaling. Buy devices that are 4K at 24-32 or 1080p at 11-14" you know the most common sizes?
