I have my SD docked into a 4k monitor most of the time, and I can tell you with certainty that some games will struggle at 4k on the SD. You can still use the 4k monitor for them, just play at a lower resolution.

Well it wasn’t so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn’t paranoid, they just went “Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!”

You’re going to start a fight with the doas people.

Still not as bad as chmod -R 777.

CUPS is installed on the majority of desktop systems. One of the listed CVEs indicates that port 631 is by default open to the local network, so if you connect to any shared network (public WiFi, work/school network, even your home network if another compromised device gets connected to it) you’re exposed. Or a browser flaw or other vulnerability could be exploited to forward a packet to that port.

In other words: While access to port 631 is required first, the severity of the vulnerability lies in how damn easy it is to take over a system after that. And the system can be re-compromised any time you print something, making this a persistent vector.

I don’t have a Fedora workstation in front of me right now, but it memory serves me right there’s a “default applications” or similar menu in Gnome’s settings.

I think there’s a mistake, I can’t fit “neovim” into 8 across.

I’m out of the loop. How does Carmen Sandiego fit into the whole init system debacle?

As in you are seeing multiple boot entries? It’s likely one entry per kernel version that you have installed. It doesn’t happen often these days any more, but in some situations it’s handy to be able to revert to a previous kernel if for example third party modules break.

Just because it has a CVE number doesn’t mean it’s exploitable. Of the 800 CVEs, which ones are in the KEV catalogue? What are the attack vectors? What mitigations are available?

Bazzite, as a gaming-first distribution, makes some choices that are acceptable for such a platform, but that I believe are unacceptable in a secure development environment. This is why I wrote “not ideal” instead of “bad”. If you don’t care about security then it’s perfectly cromulent. But I value security, so I would not recommend it.

Bazzite is a good HTPC or living room gaming distro. It is not an ideal all purpose desktop distro, just like a Steam Deck is not an ideal all purpose desktop system.

If you want a Bazzite-like experience that is better suited for the desktop then use Fedora Silverblue, which is what Bazzite/ublue builds upon.
