Thought so. Thanks for the reply.

Seems dumb yes

This isnt for you, nor for me. I don't need an AI-capable chip, I could just use my GPU if for some reason I wanted to run a local transformer model.

In addition, on that website under "Manual>Troubleshooting", the manual states the following:

Bwrap error on initialization (Ubuntu)

If Nyxt crashes on start due to bwrap, then disable or configure the apparmor service.

This vague wording is terrible advice. Disabling AppArmor outright destroys Snap sandboxing and the general security of your operating system. Configuring AppArmor is a better option, but a specific should be given as an example.

For example, from the readme file on Cromite's Github repo:

""" 1. Creating an apparmor profile for cromite

Create /etc/apparmor.d/chrome, and write:

abi <abi/4.0>,
include <tunables/global>
profile cromite /home/user/cromite/chrome-lin/chrome flags=(unconfined) {
userns,
include if exists <local/chrome>
}

replacing the cromite binary path with where you have placed cromite.

Now, run sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/cromite to apply the changes.

2. Disabling the restriction until next reboot

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

3. Disabling the restriction permanently

Add kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0 to the file /etc/sysctl.d 60-apparmor-namespace.conf. Create the file if not exists. """

EDIT: I hate trying to get Lemmy to format multiline code blocks.

Currently only supports WebKit and Blink (experimental) as underlying browser renderers. The description of the browser starting with the words "Nyxt is a browser with deeply integrated AI [...]" is a turn-off for me. If it is for powerusers, call it what it is. It could be a LLM or some algorithm, idk.

I may check it in a year. For now, for Blink (Chromium) engine use Cromite browser + uBlock Origin Lite, for Gecko (Firefox) use Librewolf or Mullvad browsers.

The browser app is the only program where (to me) Security/Privacy fully supersedes any concerns customizability and usability.

Nice

Flatpak is installed on basically every Linux distribution. Literally all I do to install Steam is go to the Software Center and search "steam" and click install. It takes 2 clicks.

I don't like Snaps either, but it isn't a that big of a deal. Ubuntu is still vastly more private than Windows. I do prefer Fedora much more because it actually sandboxes system services with SELinux polices. Snap creates a better sandbox for applications than Flatpak, but it is slower to launch applications, depends on AppArmor (which is less secure than SELinux), and uses hard coded package repo (centralized design).

Disabling unnecessary background services, disabling telemetry, removing preinstalled adware. Easy to do with WinUtil by Chris Titus Tech.

Fuck Bluesky

I understand the Cinnamon is a DE. I was asking how is Wayland support on Cinnamon these days. X11 is unmaintained and insecure so I avoid Linux Mint (Cinnamon is the only desktop environment that has Wayland)

Propaganda from the ruling class.
