I've been seeing a lot of talk about CachyOS recently. Has anyone here tried it? It seems interesting and I might give it a go (currently on EndeavourOS) on a spare drive in my PC.

I often hear folks in the Linux community discussing their preference for Arch (and Linux in general) because they can install only the packages they want or need - no bloat.

I've come across users with a couple of hundred packages installed (likely fresh installs), but I've also seen others with thousands.

Personally, I'm currently at 1.7k packages on my desktop and 1.3k on my laptop (both running EndeavourOS). There might be a few packages I could remove, but I don't feel like my system is bloated.

I guess it's subjective, but when do you consider a system to be bloated?

I'm asking as a relatively new Linux user - been daily driving for about 7/8 months

I was in the ED the other day and noticed that they use a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10. My question is two part.

1. Do you know of hospitals using Linux?
2. Besides legacy software and unwanted downtime, is there any reason why they wouldn’t use Linux?

I thought I’d share this Mastodon bot - @SmallTownUSA - here as I’ve found it great fun.

Posting towns in the USA with a population less than 1000 that are undermapped on OpenStreetMap.org

I quite enjoy mapping areas that have nothing or very little mapped. This bot kind of helps with that. Although, I’d love another one for my home country and current country of residence.

TL;DR: I got a response from Reddit that basically says they’re not violating anything.

There was a post here 3 weeks ago that talked about the GDPR violations Reddit is committing.

reddit is telling it's future investors with recent news and more info on their IPO, that they're currently selling and looking to sell their user's data to companies wanting to train their LLMs, including Google.

I’m not sure of anyone else has gotten a response from them yet so I thought I’d share the email.

The Email:

Looking specifically for men but I’m open to all opinions. I’ve been doing some experimenting over the last 2 and a bit years, trying to find what works best for me. I’d love to get some opinions on what has worked for others.

stuff I’ve tried:

• L'Oréal Men Expert (no complaints)
• Bull Dog (not the biggest fan)
• Neutrogena (no complaints either)
• SkinCeuticals (borrowed from my partner who got some as a gift)

I’m in Europe if it helps

Outlook got updated on my iPhone last night and now they want me to agree to having my data shared with 807 partners.

Important note: I don’t use outlook as my primary email provider. I use Proton with a custom domain but I keep outlook for some old emails.

Is it not possible to run Fedora Silverblue in live boot like other distros? I wanted to test it on my laptop before installing.

The laptop currently runs ZorinOS.

Edit: I downloaded the ISO from the Fedora website - here. When I try booting from the USB it only gives me the option for installing it.

I asked on Mastodon but no one seems to know so I thought I’d ask here as well.

I’m looking for an app that provides the same or similar functionality to Life360 but instead of using Google/Apple map data it uses OpenStreetMap data. Does this even exist?

This is the first I've seen something like this on Linux. I'm using endeavourOS and update my system fairly regularly. Is this "normal"?

Firefox is v122 installed from the ~~Aur~~ normal arch repositories with pacman.

edit: added install method

edit 2: corrected install method

I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.

EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.

• Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.
