Any uzbl like web browser ?

I had test uzbl ( https://www.uzbl.org/) year, and it 's quite cool. It's a lightweight Webb browser with a great usability with keyboard and a lot of extension ability using python....but the development is freeze, and it's ok not support WebKit1. Do you known some kind of lightweight browser keyboard oriented ?

Official Place To Download Apps And Programs And Softwares And Things Alike?

I am not talking about those places like you know to get your stuff for your mobile devices. You know. Like Google PlayStore For Android's Mobile Devices Or iOS AppStore. I am talking about those places for PCs. For your desktops and laptops and things like that. Microsoft Store for Windows PC. Also. macOS AppStore for Macs.

Give me one official place for all General Linux Distributions' PCs. Maybe another one official place just for Debian Linux OS PCs. Also. Maybe just another four other great ones for that matter albeit being not the official ones of anything..

Another thing. I have found these three places for now. Are they the super official Linux places for all downloads or maybe just even just a regular official place just for Debian? GoodDay ;-)

Arch linux and performance troubles

I'm mostly working on android apps lately, after staying of on Windows for a while, I switched to Arch linux recently.

Now even though my KDE plasma setup consumes a minimal 700 MB memory, whenever I run the android emulator along with chrome and say a music running on YouTube the whole systems freezes as if it's fighting a deadlock! With around 5 GB memory consumed out of the 8GB capacity. The system feels sluggish (both in X and Wayland) it's a laptop with i5, I have proper drivers installed(nvidia) and I disabled all the mitigations too.

The weird thing here is Windows 10 multitasks butter smooth even with 800 MB free memory!

Are there any specific boot parameters I'm forgetting?

PS: Not using TLP or anything, just optimus switch from AUR.

The new evolution of a Linux user

**What would it be? **

I came across this
http://humorix.org/10207

And while it is still funny, it's losing some of its humor due to being outdated.

Here's mine:

* Buy a bunch of Raspberry Pi's...learn a bit of Linux
* Fall in love with the user interfaces seen in /r/unixporn
* Buy a laptop to only run Linux.
* Start ricing
* Distro hop
* Install Linux on all the devices you can
* Become a FOSS evangelist
* ????
* ????

What's yours?

CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE as non-root

I have a question... it's not technical support. CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE is only available for root to run things on < 1024...

I understand it's setup like this for cybersecurity reasons?

If so, does it matter anymore? With our current capabilities to combat those reasons.

I'm asking since that would open many apps to us without needing root. Would that decrease in elevated permissions actually be better for security overall?

My apologies for the long ass question but I'm curious has anyone "run the numbers" to see which way would be best.

Ryzen 3 3200u graphics driver Linux Mint 19

So... after battling with a new Acer Aspire 5 w Ryzen 3 3200u processor and finally getting Linux Mint 19.1 installed alongside Windows... it is software rendering mode only. There are no graphic drivers installed and AMD's website does not show any options to download a driver for this processor. Anyone know where and how I can Vega 3 running on this? THank you

Leaving Linux after 3 years of usage.

Hello.
This is not a post about how converted my grampa to Linux, so I'm prepared for the inevitable downvotes. I just want to leave you with some constructive criticism, in hopes that you realize what's wrong, and maybe become conscious of it in the future.




MY REASONS:
- FRUSTRATION - everything I have ever done in Linux has been harder, more obscure, and more tedious. Only easy thing is using the package manager. Uninstalling packages not so much though. What is one button in Windows, in Linux is tens of minutes of googling code solutions on how to do a thing or how to unbug something.
- COMMUNITY - saying anything about ease-of-use and lack of GUI will get you called a "spoon-fed baby". I guess having the computer do the work for you and going on your merry way is a crime, instead of wasting time battling the system and the program.
- GAMING - there is nothing to discuss here. The "50%" gold rate on Proton is just plain wrong. The AAA games that actually matter don't play nice with Linux. Not Linuxes fault, but if I wanna use it, then it has to have at least one positive side. Maybe we can find one by the end of this post.
- PERIPHERALS - tedious to set up. If they even work, they require several programs. Logitech wheels don't work at all, for instance. Again, not Linuxes fault.
- PROGRAMS - for every good program on Windows, Linux has a vastly inferior and abandoned version which doesn't even work. Only good program is Bender. GIMP is atrocious and useless compared to Photoshop. CAD software is laughable.




REASONS TO USE LINUX:
- PRIVACY - that's why I started using it. Everything to battle the evil Windows 10. But I dunno. If one is like the newest smartphone and you can do everything with it, and the other is like one of those Texas calculators where you can code on them, then obviously the first option would be best for the majority of people. Simply because of a high entry wall, which every Linux fan will find a reason to justify.
- SERVERS - literally no one cares about that. Yea, they make the world go round, but I promise you that 99% of people couldn0t give a hoot about this.
- CONKY, EMACS





So yea. I will put a Win 10 LTSC on my main rig and come back to the future after years of stabbing myself in the leg for some reason. I will finally be able to enjoy good programs, good games, gaming wheels, everything. There is nothing you can do with Linux that you can't with Windows. And the things you can't definitely don't matter or make up of a very small fraction of usercases. I do not enjoy being spied on, and I will do my best to kill the telemetry and stuff, and maybe get a peehole. But the benefits will be just enormous. It would be like upgrading from PS1 to Xbox 360. 5 generations of improvement at once.




I will still have Linux on my Laptop because I can automate backing up my text files on my USB. Yea. Saved myself a second. Totally worth the massive frustration at everything else. NOT.




Cya around,




Your spoon-fed baby

im just so confused by the different distros

ive tried googling what the actual differences are. some are obvious as security oriented or bleeding edge or userfriendly but then there are 40 other that just have no logical explanation to it.

there are just way too many distros that have no real difference from another. there need to be a community management to try and group all the different distros and devs to about 5 distros right now its just insanity
