  • The real scenario lie between these extreme polar opposites of opinions

    People new to a hobby (e.g switching to Linux) usually are more active and post more about their personal opinions and difficulties in the first months after getting into it. Then eventually the OS is just another thing working on their lifes, they move on to read and post about other things.

    So what you read is usually the opinion of people who barely know what they are doing

    If you want to switch, choose a way - any way is good enough - and follow through it. Choose any distro and desktop environment among the top discussed and you will be fine. Eventually you will understand that a “distro” is just a set of default configurations, and that the biggest differences are usually what package manager (the thing that installs/delete programs) and what Desktop Environment (the thing that display graphics and applications in a certain way) they use, and the same result may be achieved throughout most of them



  • Thank you for summarizing it up

    I’ve been using network namespaces in Linux where each one also use a different user; this way you can have multiple profiles of apps separated not only by permissions but also by the VPN connection that is the only route out

    So you can have a connection that will supply your favorite iso sharer, a VPN connection to work, all unaware of each ot

    I still haven’t figured how to make GUI media applications work on them though

    It seems that a namespace only has access to process that originates inside itself

    systemctl --user list-units 
    Failed to connect to bus: No medium found             
    

    as we can see, the same user doesn’t have access to other processes so we would need to duplicate every process above the namespace until we could acess the media

    would duplicate of everything - pulsewire, dbus, etc - even work ?




  • you install program A, it needs and installs libpotato then later you install program B that depends on libfries, and libfries depends on libpotato, however since you already have libpotato installed, only program B and libfries are installed The intelligence behind this is called a package manager

    In windows when you install something, it usually installs itself as a standalone thing and complains/reaks when dependencies are not met - e.g having to install Visual C++ 2005-202x for games, JRE for java programs etc

    instead of making you install everything that you need to run something complex, the package manager does this for you and keep tracks of where files are

    and each package manager/distribution has an idea of where some files be stored



  • You can configure this behavior for CLI, and by proxy could run GUI programs that require elevation through the CLI:

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Sudo#Using_visudo

    Defaults passwd_timeout=0(avoids long running process/updates to timeout waiting for sudo password)

    Defaults timestamp_type=global (This makes password typing and it’s expiry valid for ALL terminals, so you don’t need to type sudo’s password for everything you open after)

    Defaults timestamp_timeout=10(change to any amount of minutes you wish)

    The last one may be the difference between having to type the password every 5 minutes versus 1-2 times a day. Make sure you take security implications into account.
