From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Flatpack and password managers. They’ll oil and water.

What do you mean by that? I use the Keepass flatpak and even got autofill to work by adding some kind of launch option of I remember correctly.

[–] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 1 points 5 days ago

I use LibreWolf and that was flat pack. It seemed I needed the PAA(?) Version of it so that keep ass could interact with it.

I have 1password and it’s just a pain setting it up with browsers.

Then the CLI integration is janky and doesn’t work unless the desktop is on.

I hear you. Kinda by design though. Its supposed to be difficult for containered applications to interact.

I think i installed keepassxc native. Then some config magic I've forgotten.

Yeah, it's not the worst thing in the world, just makes things awkward.

I do really like the idea of flatpack, I'm 110% in on containers, probably too much. There are just compromises that ned to be made today.

I've been fine with proton pass but maybe you're referring to specific autofill use cases?

[–] marcie@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

Keepassxc works great for me
