Yeah with “lockable mode” I mean locking by default instead of requiring every program to specifically call for locking.

It would probably break lots of software, but only using such mode for the users home (or maybe even specific Downloads/documents/desktop/etc folders within the home directory) could reduce the impact.

[Edit] wait I think there is whole fs locking mode on mounting, with the “mand” option, going to test it.

I think files being locked is really intuitive, which greatly helps new users. Allowing files to be modified or deleted while they are open makes it really easy to shoot yourself in the foot. For example in the video of Linus switching to Linux he was uncompressing a file and tried to open it while it was still uncompressing, which failed since the file wasn’t complete. He didn’t understand why the file wasnt uncompressing correctly. That can’t happen on Windows, since the file being uncompressed would be locked.

I think there should be a ‘lockable mode’, and for distributions oriented to new users the home directory should be mounted like that.

No, silverblue does all the work before you restart the computer, and the actual work doesn’t involve replacing the OS itself but basically downloading some files and just checking a different git branch when booting.

This is a byproduct of one of the largest and more ignored differences between windows and linux. The fact that Linux let’s you modify files while they are open whereas windows doesn’t.

This means that you can update a linux system by just replacing the files with the new ones while it runs. On the other side, Windows can’t modify its own files while it runs, so instead it has a second entire OS to update itself, and requires a reboot to unload all the files and boot from the updater without locking windows files.

I downvoted because I’m a hater /s

Local cat goes :3

I cant believe it, someone who actually knows what they are speaking about?? in my imitation Reddit forum???

Let’s not forget that Britain also ensured the rights of Palestinians in that same declaration, I would like to see them act on that one.

UBI is a way to make capitalism more fair. One important fact about capitalism that seemingly everyone forgot is that competition is a requirement for it to work.

If there is fierce competition in all markets, even if everyone is getting UBI, price hikes are impossible.

As opposed to dying in a valley forever, totally painless.

I’m curious about dying on a hill temporarily though.

I played Morrowind after playing Skyrim and I found it much better.

It’s much less accessible, but the writing is actually good and it has the best ‘R’ in RPG of any game I have ever played. The character progression is amazing and there are so many fun ways to build a character.

Did you add Flathub or rpmfusion? the store without those things is kinda barren
