You should try the Shimmer userchrome tweaks along with the Sideberry extension. With both of them it's even better than Zen IMO.

A compatibility layer like Wine is not a replacement for a true sandbox. Although Wine may have some basic sandboxing capabilities, the default wine configuration grants access to your home directory, which something like ransomware could take advantage of.

Chromebooks are locked down yes, but they do give you the keys. It involves unplugging the internal battery to be able to modify the hardware write protection, entering dev mode to disable the write protection, and then flashing a Coreboot port onto the firmware. Even then, a lot of basic things may or may not work once you're booted into Linux. From experience I don't recommend.

Installing Linux bare onto a Chromebook involves unplugging the internal battery (or buying a cheap special USB thing) to disable the hardware write protection and flashing a custom BIOS. Some models have issues with basic things like sound output not working through speakers or headphones or both. From experience I don't recommend.

If you still really want to though there are two websites that are really useful and should have up to date information.

Database server had a kernel panic (crashed). You can get status updates from the telegram channel.

 

I'm on unstable and updated my flake.lock and 2 of my Steam games stopped working: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and Elden Ring. Rolled back to my previous generation and they work again.

Is there a way to roll through nixpkgs commits to find the breaking commit? How do I gather the logs they will need and where should I report it to?

I just cloned the existing rule for Elden Ring as a custom rule, but changed the extension to match the co-op save.

I don't know about other people, but the only thing I don't like about Signal is that it is centralized. It seems to be the only option to actually get everything right for security though from what I hear.

Old games don't use "HDR" the same way we use it today. In old games, enabling HDR makes the lighting calculations in the game engine have infinite range which will then be mapped onto SDR colorspace, which is all software and very much supported in Linux.

If anything the screenshots show a gamma calibration issue. From my experience on Linux native Team Fortress 2, the in-game gamma slider does not do anything.

I'm on a 4770k and GTX 980 as well but I'm really feeling the pain because all the newer games I want to play are CPU bottlenecked.

Enable the optional filter lists in ublock origin.

 

Does anybody know if there is a website or resource that has NixOS modules you can include in your config?

 

What software is out there to verify that NSPs are authentic and unmodified? I would prefer one that runs on a Linux terminal.
