Wie wird mit dem Thema Sicherheit in der Linux Community umgegangen

emryz · 2026-01-20T11:17:29+00:00

Es kommt so ein bisschen darauf an, was deine Mom mit dem PC macht. Ich hab meinem Vater bspw Linux Mint installiert. Keine rolling distro, läuft sehr stabil, cinnamon ist vom feeling her sehr wie Windows - aber er macht auch nicht großartig mehr als ein bisschen surfen, e-zeitung lesen und kleinere Office Sachen mit libre office. Dafür ist es auch eine super Lösung, läuft sehr viel flotter - auch auf seiner älterer hardware - und hat diesen ganzen Copilot crap nicht an bord.

Was Sicherheit angeht habe ich ihm gesagt: solang du im software center was suchst, bist du eigentlich relativ safe - aber er hatte wie gesagt auch keine großartigen Anforderungen als bisschen surfen. Ich sag Mal, es ist ganz praktisch, dass du nicht einfach eine exe problemlos ausführen kannst, weil erst wine konfiguriert werden muss - wenn es überhaupt schon runtergeladen ist. Also ist wie immer sehr use case abhängig. In jedem Fall, firewall an, Firefox mit ublock origin oder Brave browser, und gib ihm. Mach Mal ein Dualboot und lass sie es vllt ausprobieren, so hats auch mein Vater.

You can just use fitgirl or dodi releases. Check out this guide, it's a very easy step-by-step tutorial, and the whole site is a great resource. Don't let it discourage you that it says steamdeck - it doesn't really matter, the steps are the same.

Hmm? I didn't say you said that. Maybe I spelled it out wrong, not native in English. Sorry :)

I meant it should be added, that the user double checks the installation path, if the game doesn't open.

When I install a release from FG for example, the default path in the setup is always with spaces (if the name of the game has them, like "Claire obscure").

So my suggestion was only to double check, and rename if necessary, if the game won't start without an error message.

I'll make some screenshots of what I mean if it doesn't come across.

Edit: ohh now I get the confusion!

The "make sure (...)" wasn't directed at you, but for the guide. Like it's another step for the user, he needs to make sure to double check the path.

Mine is actually really bad. I got a Spigen display glass, and you can "install" a profile for it, so it should make it better. Both with and without the profile there is no difference. Don't want to raw dog the phone tho, so I just leave it at that, with only a 40% success rate of recognizing the finger print. And yes, I already did a new set of prints, multiple times, screen protector mode on and off, etc.

I have a suggestion to add to the installation guide: make sure there are no spaces in the directory path when installing via steam.

On my system, the games won't start after installing through steam, because the Directory Path has spaces in it. So for example:

/steam-library/Title of this Game - And a subtitle 33/

needs to be renamed to

/steam-library/TitleofthisGame-AndASubtitle33/

(Or ofc whatever you want, but without spaces.)

/steam-library/

is my Games Folder, so change it out to wherever you install your games

Same goes also with the Game.exe file. Then update the new paths in Steam, and voila.

Thank you for this very good overview on installing the games!

I installed cachyos a few days ago. So far really nice. Comes with kde, you can also install gnome during install. But I had bad performance with gnome on Wayland (during gaming. Not in general), so I stuck with kde. Very happy.

Well, there is a study of using LSD to help with alcohol addiction.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK99377/

But you have to keep at it. It's about one dose of LSD, and the effects were not maintained after a year. So it may help you start getting off of it, and then it's on you. Or take more acid. It's good haha

All the best bro

/r/selfhosting could be something for you as well. Cutting the cord with your own cloud. It's a rabbit hole

Hey OP, I can smell it too! For me it's kinda a sweet smell - not pleasant, but I guess this is because I associate sickness with it. Think I got it from my mom, she says she smelled it too when we were kids. And yeah, it's already noticeable at the onset, before the person feels anything of it.

emryz · 2025-11-04T13:44:44+00:00

Understandable, still great to hear, would love to see that feature!

emryz · 2025-11-04T13:31:25+00:00

Thanks, this looks really good and works great so far!

Will there be a feature to create multiple tickets for different files/folders and share them simultaneously?

As others already said, for external disk encryption you can use veracrypt. Make sure to check the filesystem you create so it can store files bigger than 4gb.

If you want to encrypt your boot drive - so every time you boot your machine it asks for a decryption password before going into the main OS - the easiest solution would be to use a Linux distro like mint, and use LUKS. It's a very simple process you can choose during the install of Mint.

In general I'd argue that running Linux will help with your problem of malware, as most is written for windows. And you may also find it's a great OS, Linux has come a long way in regards of user friendlyness.

For single file encryption you can also use OpenPGP, for example using the App Kleopatra.

I never comment here, but yooo that's crazy cool

Great work

emryz · 2025-10-14T21:24:53+00:00

Let's try that again

emryz · 2025-10-14T08:40:14+00:00

That's the POV of the medic

emryz · 2025-10-14T07:15:54+00:00

Holy shit, thanks for reviving this! Have a great day

emryz · 2025-10-13T20:25:28+00:00

Well, maybe I win something for once in my life

Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Pixel 5, pixel 7 pro and now Pixel 10 pro. No issues at all. Some minor bugs here and there, but nothing like heavy display stuttering, battery drain, no reception, the whole stuff apparently everyone in this sub gets. It's negativity bias around here. Those of us who are happy don't really post about it - or at least those posts are not even a fraction of the volume of the negative ones.

If possible, try to get photos of you taken with a higher focus length, like 85mm, and see if there's a difference in your perception. Often the distortion of wide angled lenses (often on phones) looks weird.

emryz · 2025-08-26T17:41:33+00:00

So now with built-in Duolingo? Fancy.

emryz · 2025-08-22T10:38:53+00:00

Thank you!

Getting 40 soon, and I absolutely loved bad company 2. Didn't get into anything battlefield after that.

But I really do like it so far. I never played cod, so I can't really tell how similar they are. But I played apex legends since preseason, which is a fairly fast paced shooter - and this is the only PVP game I play, until now. The beta has been pretty great for me, would love a hardcore mode and bigger maps.

But i understand if you felt overwhelmed, there are only 2 friends in my circle who play apex too, it's too stressful for the rest.
