It depends on your usecase. We need more detail regarding what application (gui/cui/open source/proprietary/custom) you are trying to use

  • Check if the application you want to use exists as snap/flatpak/appimage.
  • If it exists, install the application as per their standard operating mechansim
  • Once used, just remove them. Your original system libs are untouched

If the application doesn't exist in those platforms, it's a different story. You might need to use distrobox or docker. Don't use nix because it's overkill for what you want to do.

The meltdown that happened in Chernobyl happened because of mismanagement. Yes, there were design flaws in the system, but lots of rules had to be broken before the design flaws were triggered.

You usually don't need to download drivers in Linux, unless you want to use some really special hardware

Barring Gamefreaks games, most of the popular racing games do not support Linux well. Forza 4/5, Asseto Corsa, iRacing, Crew.

People (the general populace) think that if a group visibility is set to Private, then it's truly private 🤷🏻

Do not share the image in a private Facebook group. Don't post it on popular direct messaging services.

The only way (which I still don't trust), some privacy-preserving E2E encrypted file storage server or (which I trust) via your own Matrix server.
