I switched to lemm.ee

Can you get a virus just for visiting a sketchy website?

Also, some programs aren't available via my package manager (I use Fedora) so I have to add 3rd party repos. Is there a general security guide for linux?

Thank you!

I painted an Andalusian flag that made it to the end! It's top-right of the X|V logo.

Viva Andalucía libre y viva Lemmy!

Fedora works with dnf, installing a rpm file.

I love it!! It looks like an underwater pic, or from an alien world.

I haven't installed it yet, so I'll switch to flatpak too!

What do you mean?

I use Nova launcher (free edition) and is great, tons of customization!

I had a problem with Mega using Fedora. Trying to update from Fedora 37 to 38, I had a dependency problem with the Megasync app. I tried uninstalling but the problem persisted and I couldn't upgrade, so I had to make a clean install.

Other than that, Mega and Syncthing worked perfect for me.

Depp is abusive. You don't need to support Heard to realize that.

For Spanish speakers I recommend 'Las Hijas de Felipe', about medieval/modern History (herstory?). They usually cover mundane things, rather than battles or empires.

I'm shocked by this post. And looking for a new instance.

I wanted an instance that doesn't defederate based on ideology (except fascist instances) and of a generalist nature. I want to browse the wide fediverse from an instance where I'm allowed to be a socialist, but clearly lemmy.world is not the one for me.

Any recommendations?

PCE (Partido Comunista de España) is not latino, is Spanish. Spain is part of Europe, not America.

That pic is from 1936, the year that the Spanish Civil War started after a failed coup perpetrated by Franco and the fascists, backed by Hitler and Mussolini. After the fascists won the war, we experienced 40 years of dictatorship.

One of the main political parties, Partido Popular (PP) was founded by former dictatorship politicians. In the last elections (past week) it was the party with more votes, but it isn't enough for them to form a government (they're trying to form a government with VOX, a extreme-right party).

Franco's dictatorship "ended" in 1975, so is really recent. My parents fought against the dictatorship when they were young and some of their friends went to jail for being communists.

If PP and VOX make it to the central government we're going back to that time. They already rule over some towns and regions and they're banning LGTB flags, women right organizations and everything that they deem as progressive.

Not only murder, also torture.

Just block them bro.

So preemptively defederating from Meta (literally Evil Corp, that backed genocide and fascism) is not okey, but doing the same with communists is.

I'm starting to get a feel of what Lemmy World really is.

I thought this was an illustration! Amazing work.

I noticed the same thing on Mastodon. The new users per day ratio is slowing, but each time Elon does his thing there's a new wave.

Are you Spanish? In Spain local languages were forbidden during Franco dictatorship.

Is it possible but you could run into issues. You can shrink that drive and leave space for Linux there, but be careful while setting up your partitions so you don't accidentally erase your games data.

Its always easier to use a whole drive so you don't have to worry about partitions. I've never done what you're describing but it shouldn't be much of a hassle.

Does it have security vulnerabilities?

I've read that some people have problems, but I used to dual boot (now I keep each os in a separate hard drive) without issues. Is a really straight forward process but if you get issues the online community is amazing and there are tons of docs (and reddit threads, some of them are deleted now or moved to Lemmy).

Linux is great! I started dual booting windows and Linux Mint, tried a lot of distros (this is called distro hopping) all Ubuntu based while using primarily Windows. After a while I got tired with windows and felt more comfortable with Linux, so I wiped Windows and installed Fedora Workstation (there's a community for ASUS gaming laptops that have a guide for Fedora).

If you just want to get a feel of Linux, you can also run it in a Virtual Box, setting it to full screen makes you feel like you are using Linux, but obviously that comes with limitations.

I totally agree with you, but googling 'dark star space' or 'dark star science' you get what you're looking for.

When I'm installing F-Droid I get a security alert about it being developed for a previous android version and that it doesn't include latest privacy updates. How legit is that? I'm downloading the apk throught their official website https://f-droid.org/

Zoom with my eyes! I love birding, having prismatic eyes would be neat.

Are you willing to try another distro?

Afaik Debian doesn't support proprietary drivers out of the box.

Maybe you have a better experience with other distros as Fedora (or its daughter Nobara) or Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu but imo better).

EDIT: What are your spec? I'm sure the problems you're experiencing are related to your hardware and their drivers being closed source.

Amphetamines

Yes you're right! We're financing the ruling class in every way imaginable.

I kept having troubles with Windows 11 and I was also fed up with all the Microsoft crap and how they push they're Cortana, Edge or other bullshit.

Switching has been amazing. Yes, also confusng at first, but you'll learn a lot and rn I'm happier than ever with my machine.

I'm running Fedora Workstation.

Not your taxes but your surplus value.

That's it. I'm not mad I pay taxes. That money goes to (mostly) good things.

I'm mad I generate surplus value for my boss. That money goes to his new car and swimming pool.

I didn't know about Guadalinfo! I wish the Junta kept promoting Libre software. Sadly Guadalinex is discontinued but I installed it last year in a VM out of pure nostalgia haha.

I sometimes dream about a new Andalusian Distro... illOS.

Btw, I created an Andalusian community here in Lemmy! Is completely empty rn, but I hope that changes in the future.

I'm not happy with RedHat neither. And Fedora 40 considering to add telemetry doesn't help. I love Fedora tho, but if RHEL keeps heading the way is going I'll hop to another distro.

Maybe is time to try Arch and embrace the meme (and learn, I'm a lil scared)

Oh sorry. I hate working early in the morning so I didn't catch your tone!

The first distro I used was Guadalinex, a distro developed by my Government (Andalusia, Spain) for education. I used it at school.

The first distro I installed was Ubuntu.

The first distro I daily drived was Fedora.

Oh that's interesting. I use Fedora but will look into Nobara.

The only reason stated above my comment is that Nobara looks better than Fedora. I asked because I genuinely don't know what's in Nobara that is not in Fedora and why is better Nobara.

No need to be an ass, leave that for Reddit users.

I'm using Fedora and I'm really happy with it. Pretty solid distro,
