Me too, I'll probably keep using it too. Once it's more wayland-ready I'd love it to be a ujust command.
DThat's the dream. It's a little something that can finally convince someone to give linux a try.
DIt was something that I flagged as a reason people stuck with Windows and there was a pretty positive response when I mentioned WinApps so I thought I'd follow through with that
LHey guys sorry for a silly question , is there way while I’m in game mode on my Rog ally x , to use 900p ? I know when I’m on windows size I can press switch via command centre

Fvulkan?
R:S
FI mean, are you trying to enable vulkan or launch the game?
Ri dont know i just reinstall bazzite with kde, on gnome was working fine

Rno, just when citra start
Rshow me this.
FI don't know.
Rbut is strange too,vulkan was working on my other installation of bazzite
Wcan someone describe to me how Linux's security and privacy stacks up against Windows 11? i'd like to know the strengths and weaknesses, especially factoring in secure boot, bitlocker and Windows Defender. what flaws should be aware of in Linux and how do i fix them? what should i enable or disable in linux to improve privacy/security?
Bthat's an extremely broad question
Byou're in a bazzite channel, so I'll assume you're asking about bazzite. Bazzite can (and will if you don't tell it not to) install to a disk encrypted with the same general strength as bitlocker. By default it'll be using a stretched password as the encryption key. After booting it up you can run a
ujustthis is largely identical in strength to Windows 11
Bnow when it comes to privacy... Linux is far, far, FAR superior to Windows 11. Windows is out of the box filled with telemetry reporting to Microsoft, and in fact it's not possible to set up a Windows 11 install without connecting your local user account to an online MS account (without launching a terminal during the install process and running special bypass commands Microsoft has said they'll remove)
B"Windows Defender" is not great for privacy thanks to its "SmartScreen" feature that sends Microsoft details about which binaries you're running on your system. Antivirus-wise Bazzite comes with nothing out of the box, but... Linux also doesn't have many viruses targeted at it, and the general threat surface is lower
BI'd say Windows 11's posture wrt antivirus security is stronger than bazzite's
Wthat makes a lot of sense to me! far better than any comments i've seen online
Bbut that comes with a downside as mentioned above
Breminder: bazzite is designed for playing video games. Playing video games isn't really supposed to be done inside fort knox. But the posture overall is more than acceptable to me.
Wright! some video games do have telemetry, predominantly newer titles
Wprobs for MTX and SBMM
Bbazzite does absolutely nothing to protect you against what the software run inside steam is doing, or against steam itself
Bthere is no outgoing-connection firewall activated by default
B(Windows 11 also does not protect you here)
RThe very nature of of Linux is difficult for virus's to take hold. You'd have to to explicitly give them root access for any real damage to take place, not to say there isn't any stupid things people have done, or some malware people can install in in the userspace. It's generally very uncommon in Linux, but has happened every now and then.
Bthis is comparable to Windows "UAC"
Bthe difference is that it's common to use an Adminstrator account on Windows for general use
Bwhereas on Linux everyone uses a limited user account
Wi see
Bthat said, Bazzite has a unique protection that Windows does not - Bazzite uses an immutable root filesystem
Wnow in theory, if i do something dumb and install a virus by mistake (which i've done in the past lol i was a dumb kid), what do i do? what terminal commands or program do i run?
Rin bazzite case, you could probably just reset the OS, and everything would be good
Bagreed.
Wreset or restart?
Breset.
Brebooting would not fix the problem. Destroying the user data partition would.
Rreset, since the core os is read-only, and immutable, it deletes layers of configs and updates that have been added to it, and resets it to just the base OS. Your /home you would remaine intact, unless you choose to nuke that as well
Byou would have to nuke /home to be disinfected
Botherwise you would just run the virus again
Rtrue
Wwould that mean deleting all my data? let's say i mount my drives after a dual-boot and i accidentally install a virus on either OS, could it infect the other OS?
Blook, this depends on how much confidence you want that you're clean
Bthere exist viruses that can infect a sytem below the OS - installed to the boot partition
Bbazzite is largely immune to those thanks to the use of secure boot
