    1. Use a separate bootloader partition for every OS. Windows is known for destroying non-windows bootloaders. It rarely, if ever, touches anything else. Many distros have a /boot partition with initramfs since grub might not support booting from the root partition’s filesystem. Integrity is ensured with secure boot, /boot encryption is optional.

    2. LUKS is straightforward, and most non-DIY distros have encrypted root support built-in.

    3. Gnome has Google drive support in the file manager itself, although it’s not exposed to CLI yet.

    4. If you’re not short on storage, I personally highly recommend Flatpaks as they are containerised whilst also come with a sandbox solution. Avoid non-default frontends when using system packages.

    5. Check out immutable/image-based distros like Fedora Silverblue. They are proved to be extremely reliable and need little to no manual maintenance since all changes are atomic and generate a brand new OS.

    6. Avoid Nvidia GPUs. Their proprietary drivers are compatibility nightmares.






  • Been playing the original ni no kuni as part of my Ghibli playlist.

    The game shows its age right from the get go, though it’s still adorable and fairly charming. 5 hrs in and my only complaint is that jumping is somehow an unlockable, but yeah guess it’s just me.

    Steam input support is a pleasant surprise. And I ran into a steam bug because of that(¯\_(ツ)_/¯).

    Mostly just thinking about streaming services on the eye patch part(seriously, screw region and VPN lock).

    Personally I’m not that against ads, the issue is how annoying they often gets, and I have a bad feeling if they are actively seeking maximum ad revenue.
