Can you get a virus just for visiting a sketchy website?

Also, some programs aren’t available via my package manager (I use Fedora) so I have to add 3rd party repos. Is there a general security guide for linux?

Thank you!

Fedora works with dnf, installing a rpm file.

I love it!! It looks like an underwater pic, or from an alien world.

I haven’t installed it yet, so I’ll switch to flatpak too!

What do you mean?

I use Nova launcher (free edition) and is great, tons of customization!

I had a problem with Mega using Fedora. Trying to update from Fedora 37 to 38, I had a dependency problem with the Megasync app. I tried uninstalling but the problem persisted and I couldn’t upgrade, so I had to make a clean install.

Other than that, Mega and Syncthing worked perfect for me.

Depp is abusive. You don’t need to support Heard to realize that.

For Spanish speakers I recommend ‘Las Hijas de Felipe’, about medieval/modern History (herstory?). They usually cover mundane things, rather than battles or empires.

I’m shocked by this post. And looking for a new instance.

I wanted an instance that doesn’t defederate based on ideology (except fascist instances) and of a generalist nature. I want to browse the wide fediverse from an instance where I’m allowed to be a socialist, but clearly lemmy.world is not the one for me.

Any recommendations?

For Spanish news eldiario.es and elsaltodiario.com

For Andalusian news lavozdelsur.es

Just block them bro.

So preemptively defederating from Meta (literally Evil Corp, that backed genocide and fascism) is not okey, but doing the same with communists is.

I’m starting to get a feel of what Lemmy World really is.

Same for me.

The first thing I thought when reading this question! Discworld is amazing

I thought this was an illustration! Amazing work.

Are you Spanish? In Spain local languages were forbidden during Franco dictatorship.

Is it possible but you could run into issues. You can shrink that drive and leave space for Linux there, but be careful while setting up your partitions so you don’t accidentally erase your games data.

Its always easier to use a whole drive so you don’t have to worry about partitions. I’ve never done what you’re describing but it shouldn’t be much of a hassle.

Does it have security vulnerabilities?

I’ve read that some people have problems, but I used to dual boot (now I keep each os in a separate hard drive) without issues. Is a really straight forward process but if you get issues the online community is amazing and there are tons of docs (and reddit threads, some of them are deleted now or moved to Lemmy).

Linux is great! I started dual booting windows and Linux Mint, tried a lot of distros (this is called distro hopping) all Ubuntu based while using primarily Windows. After a while I got tired with windows and felt more comfortable with Linux, so I wiped Windows and installed Fedora Workstation (there’s a community for ASUS gaming laptops that have a guide for Fedora).

If you just want to get a feel of Linux, you can also run it in a Virtual Box, setting it to full screen makes you feel like you are using Linux, but obviously that comes with limitations.
