Flatpak creates a “fake” home directory as part of its sandboxing. So what firefox sees as /home/mario is actually /home/mario/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/. At least on Mint, might be different in debian?

Are you sure you have the right folder? Does ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla exist?

cache suggests you’ve only moved your cached data, not your profile.

Mint for my desktop system. It just does exactly what I want it to, has good compatibility with software and Cinnamon is my DE of choice.

NixOS for my server, because being able to use one config repo and format for everything is so nice.

Hey, you should be careful around Ubuntu fans. They might just snap.

Unless it has changed recently, Docker is not intended to be a security layer as far as I know.

As I understand it, the problem that both Nix and Docker try to solve is “How do I bundle and run this application in such a way that its dependencies are explicitly specified and don’t interfere with anything installed on the host system”.

They have different approaches, but I think that goal is the same?

Honestly, since getting into NixOS, I’ve found that much more of an elegant system than Docker or whatever.

If you’re a furry Linux user, you’re only allowed to use desktop backgrounds of Xenia. :P

Assuming you’re serious and I’m not being whoosed, remember that Linux is a tool, not a cause. Many use Linux because they like Linux, not because they want to purge all non-free things from their life.

Remember you can dual boot. You can keep the Windows install around on a separate partition for when you need to use it.

I play Stellaris, Stardew and Slime Rancer on Linux, and they seem to work last I’ve tried.

I just want another 3D game where you actually play as Tails. Like, no mech. Just like Sonic levels but you can fly.

It’s important we do it that way for our 🌟brand identity🌟.

In his defense, it isn’t really a fishing game without bait.

Finally, representation for gay people who are into irony.

dd is completely safe.

Only if you have the correct args and device names. Make a backup if you want to do it from the command line and aren’t feeling 100% confident.

When I’ve needed to transfer data over to a new disk, I’ve used gparted from a live usb to copy/paste partitions directly. Once that’s done, you’ll probably need to update /etc/fstab to point to the new drives and run update-grub (assuming you are using grub) to update the bootloader config.

… You know you can just create a community and post stuff there, right?

Thank you! Could this be permanent? People can use an AskLemmyPolitics community if they really need to.

Scotland. I forget which vote it was for (either the independence referendum, brexit, elections, etc.) but maybe 5-10 mins. Other than that one it’s been mostly a ghost town.

… Huh, we’ve been to the polls a lot recently, haven’t we?

Why do they need information about the hostname? Is it really valuable for them to know how many systems are named daves-pc?

A lot of these machine learning models have been trained on art without their consent.

The entire AI art industry is basically rich megacorps exploiting small artists (who usually don’t make much income) to fuel their ever growing profit machines.
