  • Much of the security that comes with most linux distros is due to how software is installed. On windows, you typically install random .exe files online and have to put your trust in whoever provided you with the installer. On linux, it’s much more common to use a package manager to install packages, which means you are putting your trust in the package repositories instead, which can be policed by the maintainers who can decline to add suspicious packages.


  • I’ve used windows 11 once on a mini PC just because that is what was preinstalled and I needed to make sure everything worked. My first impressions of the core UI was actually kinda good except it’s windows, so you know literally none of the apps are going to follow the same design, so it really does not matter. I promptly put OPNsense on the miniPC as soon as I saw the 2 NICs show up in device manager.






  • I started using reddit just for the memes and would use some 3rd party frontend to get rid of the ads and nake the interface way cleaner. When the API pricing was announced, I serched for a better source of memes and somehow found lemmy. No ads, no bullshit, and there are some cool communities here that I actually want to participate in.
