External enclosure connected via usb-c. It’s cheap and effective.
If you’re using an AMD iGPU you should really consider one of the Wayland options.
I did that and a Windows update nuked Linux from the BIOS boot loader a few weeks ago.
The only safe option is to have completely separate machines. Thankfully with the rise of ridiculously powerful minipcs that’s easier than ever.
Why don’t they reverse the axis on the “less if better” graphs so you don’t have to look at the note on every graph…
Just change your laptop res to 1920x1080, to get the screen DPIs closer. Fun fact: you don’t have to run displays at the highest resolution.
(you said your laptop is 3840x1080, but I assume you meant 3840x2160)
Why are you even bothering dude? Just back up your data and install it fresh. You’ll be done in 30 minutes.

Depends on your budget. Since you’re asking here instead of talking to vendors, I guess you want used, so just browse ebay. You can get something used like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/404093943584
What a joke. The Guardian was captured by the establishment after Snowden and now just reprints security state PR notices.
Man just when audio in Linux got decently stable and functional, now we have to switch to some new shit. I run Ubuntu 23.10 that has pipewire and mostly it works but then sometimes it starts crackling, audio turns on and off, skipping, or random muting.
I’m getting so fucking fed up with these stupid Linux desktop pre-alpha software that take a decade to stabilize and by then we’re off to the brand new thing that barely functions.
What the fuck are you smoking dude, X11 is used all over the place
and we should minimize the amount of damage shitty clients can do.
Can’t have global shortcuts or share my screen but at least my system is secure from these non-existent threats snort
Why don’t I just smash my computer with a sledgehammer for the ultimate protection from flatpak malware.
Do you think every single app should have permissions to screen record without you knowing, to keylog without you knowing?
Can you point me to a single notable breach that happened because of this?
Classical security thinking is that if you have a compromised app running, it’s all over anyway, and it’s time to wipe and reinstall. Luckily, this isn’t a problem on Linux because packages are vetted by distributions maintainers… unless…
Unless the new plan is to transition from that to flatpak proprietary stores packaged by unknown developers, giving us trashware app stores like on Android and Windows.
Sure, if you expect to run proprietary malware on Linux then some protection might be useful. But then you’re just running a shitty version of Windows, and not getting the historical cultural benefits of Linux anyway. Might as well run Windows.
Probably never. X11 just works better. Wayland has bad design and bad implementations.
After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).
I don’t get it, doesn’t NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?
To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.
You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.
You don’t need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.
I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.
Because OP is looking for security isolation, which isn’t what containers are for. Much like an umbrella stops rain, but not bullets. You fool.
Containers are meant to simplify operational aspects of development and deployment. For proper isolation you should use virtual machines.
I’ve tried GNOME 45 extensively and I just don’t see how it’s better.
Even looking at the screenshots I don’t understand how GNOME 45 is better than GNOME 2. It doesn’t even LOOK better. You need extensions to get basic functionality like a window list and tray icons.
Then there’s the bad parts, like every window now has different decorations, doesn’t work with nvidia, etc.
There’s nothing wrong with angryposting, but it needs a kernel of truth which this is missing.
Yes, in i3, sway, and hyprland with hy3.
