Huh?

Then I’d say install Tailscale on both machines, set your network ACLs, and you’re all good to go. Super simple.

Permissions are NOT inherited to files contained within directories. You can still have a world readable directory, with every file within being root-owned and inaccessible to other users, and that’s not unusual (look through your /etc dirs).

You’re looking for something explained like this maybe: https://superuser.com/questions/264383/how-to-set-file-permissions-so-that-new-files-inherit-same-permissions#264406

The gist is that there is no default way of achieving what you want, but you should be able to achieve something you want one way or another.

If you get more specific about your use-case, there is probably a solution.

Remmina is kind of the best right now I’d say. Thinclient isn’t actually a thing much anymore outside of super locked down environments because of network state issues.

There is no such thing as a “gaming distro” in implementation. Some are tweaked in specific ways to make some things a tad easier sometimes, but there is no appreciable performance diff between anydistro in reality. See Phoronix benchmarks.

It’s using your embedded GPU, not the Nvidia one. Depending on the laptop build, only some outputs work with both, or one or the other. Kind of a crapshoot.

On your terminal run nvidia-smi and see if you get some output. If not, your Nvidia card isn’t being used. On Fedora, it should be pretty straightforward to install the drivers if you haven’t done so yet.

No:

1. Every single modern distro keeps multiple known-good previously running copies of the system to boot back into
2. The disk space argument is just insane. Having TWO versions of an OS takes TWICE as much space as having one. I don’t even get what you mean. You can mount a disk anywhere at any time
3. No part of any installed Linux distro can get into a state where it cannot be accessed, unless you encrypt or delete your entire disk without thinking
4. BTRFS or ZFS can shift back time or keep snapshots, so none of your reasoning is needed at all. Same with immutable distros.

Why would you ever do this in the first place?

You’re confusing a lot of things here. The operators you’re referring to all do different things, not just “chaining” commands together. They are used to do basic logic operations based on the preceding conditions or comparisons.

For example: || does an OR operation, while && does an AND operation.

Using { } is an operative grouping or something in bash. It’s used to make arrays, group function commands, and iterate on lists as well. In this case you’ve created a group of commands that will execute in order, then give an output result. Everything inside the curly braces is treated as one command, essentially.

Practical explanation here

LMAO what in the world is this? Are you AI bot nonsense?

Fedora (Gnome or KDE versions) is going to be the most straightforward without a bunch of “extras” to be aware of if you’re looking for a desktop. Immutable distros have extra hoops, and anything Ubuntu based has Snap, which you should avoid like the plague.

Why?

You’re being very melodramatic about the whole thing…

It’s a computer. We want to use it under our terms. End of story.

Good find, but it’s not a kernel issue in this case. The device is recognized as “something”, and outputs audio correctly, you just need to find out where it’s getting it’s audio from, and assign a control channel through Pipewire to control the sink volume. Should be pretty easy, but will require some digging and a quick bit of learning.

If it’s stuck at max, then Pipewire isn’t controlling it. Try alsamixer as a different test, or maybe qasmixer. You’ll need to select the hardware id for the device to try and change it.

You might want to dig around keyword searches for your specific model and “Pipewire” to see if others have a config to sort it if the above works.

You need a KVM with an EDID emulator. HDMI switcher just swaps output ports, while a KVM+EDID emulates device status.

File a bug or issue with the project. I assume the desktop version does this by default because it’s not expected to have offline detection functionality.

You apparently don’t deal with actual end-users, so let me inform you…they absolutely fucking care.

You seem to keep skipping the part where SNAP IS 10X SLOWER.

Get lost with your lazy argument.

You’re not getting it…

A 125MB package like Firefox has up to 5 versions by default kept under the Snap system. Do this 10x across different packages, and suddenly you’re missing a lot of storage you can’t account for.

Second, SNAP IS JUST SLOW. People don’t like when it takes 5-10 seconds to launch a very simple app. Let’s not even get into the performance being absolutely horrendous when you need direct access to memory or GPU. It’s not what people want.

Last, your problem with Nvidia drivers lies with Nvidia themselves. I run a cluster of a thousand instances which never hiccup on the Nvidia server+CUDA drivers.

Desktop is a shit show, and that’s their fault. Don’t blame your misunderstanding of these two things to be the fault of the distro.

It’s relevant for a few reasons with regard to new users:

1. Snap is SLOW
2. Snap takes up a massive amount of space

Switching somebody with 256GB of storage to Ubuntu and pointing them to the Gonna software store to install whatever they want is just asking for confusion and problems.

What happened to all my disk space?

Why does it take 8 seconds for a browser to start?

These are new users who expect things to operate as they’ve known them to operate coming from Windows or MacOS. Ubuntu is just problematic to that point of view.

I’ve switched hundreds of desktop users in the past few years, and the above expectations and experience is what made me switch to Fedora.

Ubuntu is problematic at current.
