Stable rolling release distros using flatpak

I have an idea for a distro with a rolling release model for the desktop environment and login manager etc to get the latest desktop experience while using a combination of flatpak and snaps for application that have the benefit of not breaking the system with updates and generally prefer budgie desktop environment and light dm....

Is there any privacy difference between proprietary wireless drivers and free drivers with nonfree firmware?

Some broadcom wireless devices are supported by the b43 driver, but still require the nonfree firmware to be extracted via fwcutter or whatever. Often these devices are also supported by broadcom's nonfree wl driver.

If I strap my tinfoil hat on, is there any technical difference between the two situations if I'm worried about, e.g., Broadcom collecting all of my pre-encrypted network packets?

I made an application to quickly open folders

While I was on Windows I was using Direct Folders and Listary, but I didn't find anything similar for Linux, so I made QuickAccess. Maybe someone else will find this useful.

\----

QuickAccess is an application that sits in the system tray and can open a menu where the menu entries are folders that you can open on click (on hover it loads the folder's subfolders in a submenu). The folders are added by the user and can be reordered and removed.

The menu can be opened through dbus. Check the [project page on gitlab](https://gitlab.com/g-fb/quickaccess) for more info and dbus examples.

All distros I checked have dbus and custom shortcuts support, so you can set the dbus command to open the menu to a key combo or even a mouse gesture (KDE or [easy stroke](https://github.com/thjaeger/easystroke)).

Yet another reason Linux kernel is superior....

So my less-than-2-years-old laptop has been experiencing random problems lately without any obvious reasons, such as applications randomly crashing, tabs in Chromium crashing, etc. etc. Figured I must have foobared something with my Arch install, and since it was rather intermittent and not common, I unwisely chose to ignore it.

Fast-forward a couple weeks, and I finally decided to go hunting for the error, as I noticed that, though still uncommon, it seemed to happen mostly with applications that were heavy on the RAM. Decided to boot into live media, and run memtest, and lo-behold, I was getting consistent errors in a small sector, right about the 10GB area in a 16GB module.

Since the Linux kernel is a beautiful masterpiece and modern marvel, I simply added a `memmap` kernel parameter to blacklist that small area, and now everything is running smooth as silk again. Try to do that on Windows. Best you *might* be able to accomplish is cutting out all memory either from the beginning or end to the bad sector. In my case, that would eliminate nearly half of my total RAM in the best case.

Just wanted to proclaim the superiority of Linux in gratitude.

When would you typically use the suspend's mode?

it is different from the sleep mode, also it disable the peripherals connected to the device, when would you use it?

Anyone else try and show off your terminal skills whenever possible to friends?

Not specifically telling them to come over and watch this, but pulling up the terminal and looking through at directories or cpu usage?

It's pretty natural for me to just open it up and type in top if I think my laptop is running a bit slower.
