@npub1hkw…jkge thanks a lot for the appreciation. I really hope it helps to make some systems more secure, easier to discover and more valuable for the community.
Feel free to ping me, if there is a topic that needs coverage.

@npub1wst…ez75 if nautilus really behaves this way, it seems like a bug to me. Yet, it is considered to be running in GNOME, so I don’t see this behavior fixed/adjusted soon.

This sounds a lot like an old issue related to „bad“ files in the „Templates“ folder.

@npub1wst…ez75 what do you mean with „Nautilus is broken on your install?“

@npub1wst…ez75 this is around for ages. But it also seems to be related to certain apps. Vscode for example opens the file picker in the background all the time for me.

Running silverblue here. There are two reasons to do so.
"flatpak uninstall --all" to get rid of all the bloat (not all of it, though)
"rpm-ostree reset" to have a fresh installation on demand.
Or, to frame it properly: Because I will get a pretty minimal, yet useful operating system, that I can "factory reset" at will.

@npub1wst…ez75 the moment you stop working the distro(s) and focus to make something out of it, you will stop switching.
What will be the project, that requires you to have a 24/7 production machine that hinders you to „delete everything“? 😅

@npub18yv…xxyn Super easy to follow and understand 🤣
Tech companies, especially Open Source companies seem to be really really bad at making and communication of roadmaps and portfolios.

@npub18yv…xxyn if you find out how Microos, k3s, k3os and all the other products relate, which of them are actively maintained and how the kubic project relates to them: PLEASE educate me!

The discussion about RHEL and the way RedHat/IBM does Open Source seem pretty weird these days.
There is a company that bought proprietary software and made it Open Source. The same company is THE major contributor across thousands of Open Source projects. Furthermore, this company is funding and sponsoring hundreds of projects.
Yet, some people see this company as „the evil“ and stating that they harm FOSS.
Is this reasonable?

@npub1wst…ez75 there is a common misconception: Stability has nothing to do with support of recent drivers, bugs or crashes.
If a software is considered stable, it indicates one thing only: No breaking changes to be expected. That’s it. You can have an unreliable, full-of-bugs, constantly crashing software, which can be stable, if the API/ABI does not change.
What users often consider as stable is: reliable, solid, resilient.
Just my 2 pence.
