The thing with AppImages is: it requires FUSE2 which doesn't really get packaged/included by default anymore in a lot of places and the recommendation is "build on the most old and crusty distro you want to support" which just sounds like a nightmare in multiple ways :)

And with snaps the sandboxing only really works on Ubuntu and nowhere else last time I looked into it (then there is also the entire problem if you want to host your own repository/"storefront").

So really the only universal sandboxing method that effectivly makes sense is Flatpak.

Wouldn't that need them to get the fu.ck domain itself? I have a feeling that is already used by someone else, but there currently isn't any website at that domain (doesn't mean it isnt used)

Generally the only groups I would maybe sign such a CLA in regard to the GPL is: the FSF and the Linux Foundation. Anybody else (especially individuals I don't know) I wouldn't sign any CLA unless my contribution is like a 1 off, trivial patch.

I would have guessed that Ubuntu would install it by default since its a very common way to get stuff from the internet (when in the terminal), but apparently not (the other option is wget which is most likely installed, but that uses a different way to get the stuff).

You should be able to install curl with sudo apt install curl

IMO my favorite launcher to use out of all is probably Battle.net, even over Steam. This is probably mostly because Steam is terrible unresponsive and its startup is still kinda ass (I just tested the start and noticed its 3 fucking loading screens: Verifying installtion, Logging in and finally loading the page. All as separate windows).

It only at most auto logs you into the display manager or more generally into login. Then you still need to get root access to modify anything from there. Login would still be based on user password/key/whatever.

Having read poetterings blog posts a bit and he explains that the TPM2 based encryption is entirely just for system resources (basically everything under / with exception of /home). For home he still "envisions" (its already possible and not really hard with sd-homed) that the encryption is based on the users passphrase/key/whatever and not unlockable by anyone else than the users passphrase/...

So user specific stuff is tied to user keys while system stuff is tied to the system & OS.

To my understanding, it is exactly that. It allows upscaling(/framegen?) with cards that don't support DLSS, in games that only have DLSS

nor can I imagine it ever happening.

Chief, MS has multiple internal only Linux distros and publically they have CBL-Mariner and I think another that I forgot. They are mostly used with Azure. They really aren't that much more different to what I know to any other (common) distro out there

You misspelled "System and Service Manager"

At this point it wouldn't even surprise me if they wanna end Xbox in its current form. To my knowledge it's very low margin if it's not a net negative, so using other platforms instead to host it would end up with them making more in the long run.

Bruh, I read this as ELF instead of EFL and was hoping on learning something interesting about the format.

But then I started the TTS to read out loud and noticed it said E-F-L.
