There's an installer now, but what drives me away from using it is it's heavy dependence on systemd utils by default. Of course there's forks that fix it, of course you can do things differently, but yeah. There's distros that offer better with less, and are simpler to set up.
Alpine is amazing. One of the best distros I've ever used by far. So good for desktop, so good for servers, so easy to use and install, amazing package manager.
Use it as my goto choice for containers and have never had an issue. Tiny footprint and minimal OS means I can minimise attack surface and package update frequency to boot. Really nice versatile distro.
I just wish there was better musl or static linking support in the Linux ecosystem for Alpine. A lot of one-off binaries in my experience were dynamically linked only for the latest Ubuntu's glibc.
Nix it's very common to relink using patchelf, but I don't know if that makes sense linking from glibc to musl. Changing the compile environment from gcc to llvm and/or glibc to musl, means you will be building a LOT of things from scratch because upstream Hydra only builds and caches glibc. There's nothing "wrong" with glibc, but it does cause issues where a compiled binary says `-linux-x86_64` and then doesn't work with your system's glibc. I had a tool I wanted to use in an Alpine container, and switched to Debian or Ubuntu because I didn't want to deal with the incompatibility even if Alpine is smaller and faster. I got the author to put out a paragraph in the README about alternative, non-glibc not being supported by the prebuilt binary (ghc from Ubuntu isn't static).
Flatpak is great, you're able to install and run programs without configuration on most distributions. exept it also (obviously) installs all dependencies, configurations and settings while you usually only need glibc or some other variant to make a program run.
I'd prefer running without flatpak because when something doesn't work you'll be wondering wether its flatpak, the system or the program that is missing something.
Well to be fair maybe I missed that but the fact that you can't just delete your account without needing to provide a picture of your ID sounds awful to me.
Even the big games suffer from network-related vulnerabilities. One such example is GTA V. Exploits designed to crash people's games are widely used and accessible to pretty much anyone, and I wouldn't be surprised if one such exploit could have lead to a RCE in the past.
I noticed many "What's my IP" sites turning into honeypots by storing cookies in the user's browser, therefore allowing for the user's IP history to be tracked which would be a huge violation of privacy. So I decided to do something to change it.
