    “Someone mentions a distro they like” ≠ shilling. I use Bazzite and have been for months. Before that, used Nobara, EndeavourOS, and vanilla Fedora, along with a number of others I tried when I was distro-hopping. Wholeheartedly believe that Bazzite is currently the best generally-available Linux distro for gaming and is up there for general use. It’s not perfect, but nothing is - it gets close for the use-cases I mentioned, though.



















  • I don’t think one currently exists, but it would be an interesting project. There are plenty of trackers for CVEs but in terms of project ethics, acquisitions, etc., there’s a space for it.

    The two main problems I can see are:

    1. How do you define ‘negative’? An open source application being acquired is often a bad thing, but not always. An acquisition by FUTO is more likely to be viewed positively than an acquisition by Microsoft, but either can be interpreted positively or negatively depending on the person.

    2. Community involvement is absolutely critical. If I were running a service like this (for example), I would only really be keeping up on the services I use and care about. I would need others to submit info and then verify it.


  • Sorry, I should clarify. I’m hoping to possibly have a setup like this:

    1. Browser makes a request to an eepsite
    2. The router sees the request is to a domain ending in .i2p and forwards the request to a service running on the router
    3. That service then performs the necessary encryption and establishes connection with the I2P network.

    I’d imagine it’s a similar process for other protocols and networks. No idea if this is possible or desirable.
