How often do you take snapshots of your / folder? I'm just having one which is snapshot of last successful boot, reasoning is working kernel and GPU driver. I've made script which deletes old snapshot, takes new one and changes its permissions to write, I can boot from it in GRUB menu. I've seen people take many snapshots but I'm wondering whats reasoning behind it.

Fork coming soon?

If you are using same folder encrypted with Cryptomator on both Windows and Linux there might be problem with write permissions inside decrypted folder. Solution is to chown encrypted folder and you will have your permissions when you decrypt it

I think people will think more than ever to switch to new version of Windows. Secure boot is must, internet connection for installing windows is also must and tpm chips too. I guess we will see boost in Linux users but not before Windows 10 reaches EOL in 2025

If your grub won't add other systems to boot menu just add this line in /etc/default/grub file:
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false and rebuild grub

Cryptomator works fine with WinBTRFS formatted hard drive on Windows. If you use same hard drive on both Windows and Linux with Cryptomator and you don't want low transfer speeds WinBTRFS driver is a solution. Link:

I've bought ARK: Survival Evolved game on Steam, it should be Linux native but when run without Proton compatability its just buggy and slow. Kinda dissapointed, never had problems with Linux native games. It works fine with Proton and anti cheat engine disabled.

New Firefox is looking slick

I would like to write some code behind GUI and have formatted document (which consists mostly of math expressions) as results of execution. My idea is: Python (backend), Qt5 (GUI) and Latex for building formatted documents. There are probably some libraries for Python-Latex interaction but do you know a better way to do this? Any ideas appreciated
