A VPN is definitely an example of software you should use rpm-ostree to install.

To add some detail, anything you install in a distrobox (or other sandbox/container) can’t add kernel modules, which I think is the error you’re getting.

It’s not quite that simple.

Each package can choose one from a handful of runtimes to use, each of which include common dependencies (like gnome or qt libraries), and if multiple flatpaks use the same runtime, that runtime is only downloaded once.

It is less space efficient than your typical package manager, but brings other benefits like sandboxing.

You’re using flatpak, right? Flatpak uses “portals” to provide access to other parts of your system. When you open files in flatpak apps, you’ll see this folder used for those.

These shouldn’t actually take up any meaningful space, and I wouldn’t delete anything unless you’re experiencing an issue.

TIL SDDM hasn’t gotten to 1.0 yet.

How long has it been the de facto default greeter for KDE Plasma?

Same time as Tumbleweed, which will probably be pretty quick after the release next week

Tbh it’s possible I messed something up, iirc the bridge network I was using wouldn’t work, and it seemed like it would only work in host mode, hence the belief that I needed to remap things. This was over a year ago, and tbh I didn’t try very hard to make it work.

Yeah, podman’s networking approach sent me back to docker as well. I have a bunch of services that don’t even expose their ports to the local network, they just connect to each other, and only the reverse proxy is exposed. Switching to podman would require me to reconfigure all my port mappings to make sure there aren’t any conflicts, and then update all the references. It’s not a ton of work, but enough to keep me on docker for the time being.

edit: It looks like podman’s networking stack has changed since I used it, so this is almost certainly wrong now

I’ve been using microos exactly because I like to tinker. Just the other day I installed plasma 6 to play around with the HDR implementation, then decided that it wasn’t worth it and rolled everything back. Worse case scenario I might have needed to reset kde configs in my home directory, but even that want necessary.

Thank you, I needed that today
