  • Apparently this was a controversial take

    When I first started learning how to Linux long ago everyone recommended Ubuntu… and I had a similar issue to the OP.

    I had to dump the EDID of my monitor from a Windows machine to actually get X to recognise any kind of monitor modes …it was an eye opening experience for a newbie.

    Today, I still dont really like it for other reasons (I’d take Debian over Ubuntu any day). Call me crazy here guys but I think its okay to share an opinion without being called an edgelord for it.

    (I use arch btw 🎩)










  • How to quantify that?

    Number of surveillance cameras per square km?

    Being members of international intelligence sharing networks?

    Data protection laws in place? Level of enforcement?

    Not sure theres an easy answer to the question, I think you’d have to put together data based on a wide set of criteria, and even then you would only be able to work off publically accessible/known info

    Why do you ask? Did your government put a camera in your bathroom?








  • Basically I ran into issues with building images from newer and more complex compose files that podman-compose just couldn’t pull apart.

    Docker is still the go-to if you want shit to ‘just work’, it has an easier user experience, it’s what the vast majority of developers building containers are using. You can run rootless if you want without too much pain.

    It has come a long way but the probability that you’ll run into some random edge case or other issue with podman is higher, podman-compose has some thorns (high likelihood you’ll need to hack on compose files), if you want containers to start without your interaction you have to bake up systemd unit files for them, etc. I’ve not messed with podman-kube-play - wasn’t even aware of it, so can’t really comment as to how well that works.

    There’s nothing to lose by giving it a go except your sanity and time. 😁
