It’s like regular Fedora KDE, except that it avoids this problem of traces of past experiments everywhere.

Kinoite is much more than that: it is an atomic and immutable spin of Fedora KDE. This has big implications but the gist of it is that:

1. You can roll back to any previous version if anything breaks

2. The base system cannot be modified

3. If you need to install RPM packages, you do that by adding “layers” on top of the base system, and these can be removed if needed to go back to a clean base system

4. You can switch from one spin to another by “rebasing”, but it is recommended that you remove any additional layer first and that you stick to the same desktop environment

My experience on other distros was that upgrading in place a system that deviated too much from “stock” would wreck the install. I would personally play it safe and backup my home folder and do a fresh install.

Just don’t forget to test your backup before formatting your drive!

Only restic snapshots are backed-up to B2. ZFS snapshots are for undoing mistakes, though I enabled them recently and I have yet to use them.

My work flow is pretty similar to yours:

For my desktop and laptops: systemd timer and service that backups every 15 minutes using restic to my NAS.

For my NAS : daily backup using restic + ZFS snapshots.

All restic backups are then uploaded daily to Backblaze B2.

This is common in rolling releases

Happened to me on Ubuntu with minor kernel updates including regressions lol

Meh, I don’t think that would fit the community.

I thought for a minute this was a /c/FuckCars meme. I’m disappointed.

I don’t know, I only play Sims 4 on the EA app and I read of people getting their EA account banned for playing multi-player games on Linux, so I did not even try.

I got both Steam and EA App versions running on my Steam Deck and desktop (the latter runs Bluefin). For the EA app I used Lutris, it works like a charm.

In my native language, fediverse translates to “fédivers” which sounds like “faits divers” the “incidents” or “'news briefs” section of a journal.

Yeah, I use Caddy for that, as I only use DNS-01 for local-only services.

I have been using BunkerWeb for the past 4 years and have been mostly happy with it. Its default settings are sometimes a bit agressive but you can change those globally or service per service.

I thought I blocked this instance full of spammers…

For those wondering what this is Troy Hunter (HIBP founder) wrote an article on this new feature.

Someone should create a leaderboard of websites sharing data with the most “partners”, this week I saw someone on Mastodon posting a screenshot of a website sharing to 1700+ third-parties.
