Yes.

Just do yay timeshift, then install all three packages that show up.

Timeshift itself is one, autosnap is a second, and the third is a systemd timer that handles the scheduled snaps (monthly, weekly, etc).

Oh, for sure. If you wait a month, the bigger update can be a lot more trouble.

But look at it like this. If a rolling distro has a problem once a week, which is fixed within 24 hours, updating daily guarantees you will run into it.

While updating weekly means your chance is only one in seven. Since because by the time you update, the fix is more likely to already be in the repos, so you’ll be jumping over the problematic update.

The functionality is conceptually identical, yes.

And timeshift is by default set up such that only / is rolled back while /home is kept as-is.

So same as atomic distros, rolling back doesn’t mean going back in time in terms of personal files or settings.

So I’m really only missing out on the updates for something like Bazzite being potentially more reliable.

I’ve been on endeavour+plasma over a year now.

I share your desire for a system that always, 100%, every time, is there and ready to be used.

At the same time, I really like arch and the convenience of the AUR.

Hence, I boot-strap reliability onto my system through btrfs snapshots.

The setup is extremely simple, (provided your install is grub+btrfs) just install timeshift + the auto-snap systemd services. Configure it, and forget it.

Next time something breaks, instead of spending time on troubleshooting, you timeshift back to a known good point and then just get on with using your system.

With the auto-snap package installed every update also creates a restore point to go back to before it.

In addition to that, I started updating my system less frequency. The logic being that the more often you update a rolling release install, the more likely you are to catch it at a time when something is wrong, before it is fixed. Still regularly, but instead of every other day, I now have an update notification that goes off once a week.

The result has been zero time spent troubleshooting my system. If it worked yesterday, it’ll work today. If it worked last week, but doesn’t today, I’m a reboot away from a known good snapshot.

Wayland has been fine on nvidia for a while now. Even G-Sync works.

You can delete uploaded media since v.19 iirc.

There’s a media tab in your profile on supported clients where you can see and remove uploaded media files.

You don’t need Bazzite to use the “steamdeck-like” interface. Any distro with steam will let you run Steam in “pig picture mode” which will let you control steam with a controller.

That said, Bazzite will work fine, but you’ll likely want to run it in desktop mode, rather than game mode. RPCS3 is just nicer to use this way, as it’s not really meant to be navigated using a controller. Once you have your games set up, of course, you can play them with a controller.

As for running PS3 games, that should work fine. Your performance will likely vary from game to game, but a Ryzen 5 is “pretty good” for PS3 emulation.

Communities cannot be fully “deleted”.

They can only be “deleted” in the sense that they disappear for everyone.

You, as a mod, can still see and restore the community. To get rid of it from your list, you’d have to be unassigned as a mod. I don’t think that’s possible if you’re the only mod in a community.

Stalk active users and see where they post.

I do the same thing, but with anime girls.

Damn. It really runs that much of it server-side?

Now, I’m not familiar with Path of Exile, but isn’t the game PvE?

The connection shouldn’t matter, unless you’re playing co-op.

Management misjudged?

No! It is the market that is wrong!/The employees failed to execute the project.

Wine: wtf is this shit?

Is it actually being used?

My guess it just doesn’t evict stuff from before the suspend, starts re-loading stuff after the resume, which makes the apparent amount “used” go up.

On a normal linux system, “free” RAM will over time drop down to zero, as the kernel puts the extra memory available to use. But it doesn’t mean there isn’t room to evict less-needed stuff if necessary.

AFAIK linux only starts actively evicting RAM once it fills up.

Like the other guy mentioned, drill down and see if you can find the actual program causing the problem.

A VPN provider can potentially log every site you visit, just like your ISP.

The actual benefits are mostly practical, being able to access streaming services and other sites from other countries.

It does hide your IP but this isn’t as big a deal as you might think, and moot, if the ISP logs your activity.

It does not provide some special extra layer of encryption. It does encrypt the traffic, but most of the time, it was already encrypted anyway. The vast majority of internet traffic is.

I think the joke is that that is literally what coding, is.

1. Maybe? There are ways to limit what apps are able to access the internet. Rooting, or installing a Custom ROM may be possible on your current phone.

2. I won’t break entirely. It’ll probably mostly work, but a lot of systems in normal android phones do rely on google play services.

3. Definitely. FOSS apps tend to be entirely local, not phoning home unless there is good reason in the context of the functionality of the app. At the very least, they will more often than not still work, if denied internet access. This doesn’t mean good commercial software doesn’t exist, though.

4. A VPN is probably not necessary for your privacy. Using one is potentially even a privacy risk, as you then need to trust the company providing it, in addition to your ISP. Your actual internet traffic is encrypted either way, unless you visit websites that do not use HTTPS, which is extremely rare nowadays.

We sure did, others have already commented.
