I don’t think it ships with a desktop environment by default; I think they’re just referring to the Qt framework. If it is mentioning a desktop environment - it’s probably LXQt.
LMAO. Microsoft really made Windows Server and won’t even use that crap themselves.
Buster clearly disapproves of the upgrade.
Or as I’ve taken to calling it; GNU+Linux
65·6 months agoI’m still in shock how quickly they have progressed.
Or as I’ve taken to calling it, GNU+systemd+Linux.
Maybe I’m just nostalgic but I think a classic IPA doesn’t need a modern twist. I’m all for IPA open sourcing their beer; heck, free beer is good enough for me.
In all seriousness though, I already saw a user recommend kanidm. I can vouch for kanidm; written in Rust, it allows offline authentication and offline caching of user info, which is really handy if you’re in a situation with poor internet connectivity. kanidm is feature rich:@[email protected] already mentioned OAuth2 support, LDAP, RADIUS; etc. It even supports TOTP!! Kanidm doesn’t support SAML IIRC, But SSO can be achieved through OAuth2 with OIDC.
From kanidm’s Github:
Kanidm aims to have the features richness of FreeIPA, but without the resource and administration overheads. If you want a complete IDM package, but in a lighter footprint and easier to manage, then Kanidm is probably for you. In testing with 3000 users + 1500 groups, Kanidm is 3 times faster for search operations and 5 times faster for modification and addition of entries (your results may differ however, but generally Kanidm is much faster than FreeIPA).
Incredible!! I don’t think I have ever heard this explained in such simplicity. Great write up.
For all those wanting to know what version of the xz package you have, DO NOT use
xz -Vorxz --version. Ask your package manager instead; e.g.apt info xz-utils. Executing a potentially malicious binary IS NOT a good idea, so ask your package manager instead.
I personally prefer to use Flatpaks over traditional packages because of the added security, sandboxing, and overall convenience of not having to deal with dependency hell. It’s especially nice being able to have proprietary applications sandboxed from the rest of my system without worrying that Steam is snooping on my ‘super-important-tax-documents’.
Flatpaks are also very useful for having up-to-date packages on distros like Debian, and it’s derivatives. People can still use their preferred distro without having to worry about not getting a certain update, feature, bug fix, etc, for their applications.
Being able to restrict what applications have access to is a game-changer for me. A lot of times Flatpaks, by default, have very lenient permissions, and with the use of Flatseal I can restrict it to my liking. Worried about Audacity’s telemetry?? Turn network permissions off. Now, not all applications will work well (or at all) without internet connectivity, but for applications like Audacity, it works great!! Flatpaks can also be very useful for developers.
That’s not to say that Flatpaks are without their fair share of issues. Are they bloated?? Yeah, and although it’s not an issue for me, it may be for some people. Desktop integration is, meh. Themes, and fonts don’t always integrate the best. (A while back there were issues with Flatpak’s sandbox, but I won’t touch on that because I need to refresh my mind on it, and it was actively being developed to fix those issues so it possibly isn’t even an issue anymore.)
Overall I think Flatpaks are absolutely wonderful.
I hope either ZLUDA and/or actual CUDA works on NVK in the near future.
This is my hope as well. I do think that at least an attempt at CUDA support for NVK is planned, but if it is, it’s likely still a ways out. But who knows! They’ve been progressing so fast, it might come sooner than we think! (Assuming CUDA is even on the roadmap.)
Better yet AMD could release something that can compete with CUDA but that seems highly I. probable.
Unfortunately AMD’s focus doesn’t seem to be on Ray Tracing/AI or a CUDA alternative at the moment. But this would definitely be a welcomed feature.
What I think the ‘make it or break it’ will be for folks is if we see NVENC, DLSS, CUDA support for NVK. The only way I see people who need Nvidia specific features ditching the proprietary drivers is if Nvidia releases proprietary blobs for them. But as for me, I’m ditching the proprietary drivers as soon as NVK performs within 80% of the proprietary drivers.
NVK FTW!!
It was a picture of a glowie, soyjacking, with “CIA” in the background. It was a grainy image with a green glow and grainy white accents
Edit: Scroll down to the fifth image. It’s near identical to the one that was removed. (I would post the image but the original was removed by a mod so here’s the link.)
I love you
2·9 months agoLiterally found myself saying that 2 hours later.
This is the absolute truth. I’ve even come to realize that there are certain “issues” or “bugs” I completely disregard on some of my Linux systems because there’s either another way around or it’s not that much of an issue for me.
Excluding hardware (microcode, UEFI, etc); within my Linux system, the only proprietary software I have installed are Nvidia drivers and Steam (installed via flatpak). When I first made the switch to Linux, I was actually shocked at the minimal amount of proprietary software I actually used/needed.
