Reducing the attack surface with Gentoo … (I see myself out)
Actually, I use Debian stable on servers by default, only when clients request Ubuntu, I help them admin it. I would never pick Ubuntu for the desktop. Debian and Fedora do a better job being closer to upstream. And: there are snaps which I want to avoid on the desktop.
I agree with you, as long LLM users understand what they are doing.
That is why I do not vibe-code or vibe-admin. I only use it for research and ask follow-up questions if I don’t understand what it just told me would work. I recently primed my LLM assistant to tell me where I can find more info so that I can verify. The goal for me is, learning things along the way and not produce unmaintainable code or configs.

just learned of /llms.txt on site-root.
Oh, just linking README.md; great idea.
Btw., would an AGENTS.md in .well-known/ of a website help?
I agree. GUIs should not be seen as replacements for CLIs so that new users switch to Linux. There are an addition to the ecosystem; and when you want to do more with your computer and perhaps more efficiently, new users can learn more about what can be done in the Terminal.
At this point I am afraid to ask: Will it finally have GPG and S/MIME support? Otherwise it is just a nice looking program with no use. (:
wow, if a later version of it can indeed do LoRa/Meshcore, it will be even more interesting to me.
I wonder if it can run a Gnome desktop or phosh with all the stuff still possible available with the default installation.
thx, that sound promising. I’ll have a look at the noctalia control center.
thx, that certainly informs my decision.
Could it look close to gnome-shell? And how well does it integrate with all the xdg-desktop stuff?
I am currently using gdm/gnome/PaperWM because I like the comfort of having all the gnome tooling for everyday use. Can the gnome-control-center still be used with Noctalia?
You are not supposed to use online LLMs for undisclosed security stuff; there is no general ban of online services if you can take responsibility for the stuff it produces for the contributor. At least, this is how I read the general resolution.
This is one more reason, that using Debian as my main distro was a good choice.
This is good news; Debian is still the way to go for me:
Debian acknowledges that the legal status of material produced by generative AI systems remains the subject of ongoing discussion in many jurisdictions, including questions relating to copyright, authorship, licensing, and potential reproduction of training material. The Project does not seek to resolve these unsettled legal questions through this General Resolution, nor does it adopt a position on whether AI-generated output is, in whole or in part, copyrightable or derived from copyrighted works.
Thanks for telling us; I’ve tried to live with Epiphany for a while but had to move to Firefox for compatibility to certain websites.
If Orion is using GTK4, this looks like a new/second/third/fourth attempt to moving to WebKit. (:
If I would use my private mobile computer from Lenovo more and it would break today, I would definitly look at a Framework. They look so nice and set themselfs apart from so many other computers.
My work laptop is also Lenovo; Framework is just too expensive to get it as work laptop (even before the ramcolypse); maybe in 5 years I can ask for one. ^^
For me it is just screen inside gnome-console and PaperWM to arrange my terminals on Gnome.
Yeah, Silverblue is nice; not my main distro, though. I came from many years of Gentoo on almost all machines I had. Debian stable is currently the most practical for me.
The immutable variant of Fedora is nice for the low maintenance computers, although I needed to get my head around podman to not overuse rpm-ostree. So far so good. I think it will not replace the distro on my main machine, but I see the way it works as a general potential future. An immutable variant of Debian stable would be something I’d consider switching for.
Yeah, having it based on testing is a poor choice.
