    • chmod : change mode

    • chown : change owner

    • -R : recursive. So all subfolders and files will change ownership.

    • 700 : this is a code for files permission for those 3 groups in linux :

    • user (you) : 7

    • group : 0

    • other : 0

    What do those number mean ? A file can be read, written, executed. Those 3 permissions are associated with number :

    • read : 4
    • witten : 2
    • executed : 1

    If a file can be read and written its number will be 4+2 = 6



  • There is some drawback. The main one : app can’t communicate with each other.

    Example firefox and his extension keepass. As keepass can’t communicate with firefox, you have to open both apps and switch their windows.

    You can use flatseal to manage communication between apps but that’s not an easy process and may prove a security issue if you don’t understand the technical jargon.



  • Sorry, the closest i came up aren’t good solution but may help in your search.

    • Vanilla OS 2 (based on Debian) but it is under Gnome DE and in beta phase. Very begginer friendly. Maybe once it go out from beta it will supports other DE ? So check it around 6th month later or 1 year ?

    But the problem is that their community is very small. If you want something stable, it’s better to look for bigger community so you can benefit from their support and user’s problems

    There is fedora kinoite but you don’t want anything related to IBM. That was the best compromise i can found.

    • NixOS but i don’t know it. I’m affraid it will be a DIY distro at the beggining with the config file. But it will probably meet all your criterias.

    Or the same OS from my steamdeck :

    • Steam OS ? It’s an immutable OS based on Arch and support KDE by default. Full support of flatpaks. Only downside, i dunno if it supports other machines than the steamdeck. Nor if it uses the latest linux kernel. Maybe some variants ?





  • Yeah you are right…

    Well i admit, first, i didn’t care about speed. But maybe for high quality, and smooth transfert, i should have chose the hightest.

    Hopefully i didn’t because the fiio device only accept unidirectional usb-c. It don’t accept bidirectionnal cable. There was an arrow. I thought biderectionnal cable should do the job…😅

    Well i didn’t expect ton of features. I just wanted a simple cable to transfer data. According to the cable notice, it should. But fiio sold a device with an proprietary usbc cable that can only transfert data in one direction. And no usbc-usbc can connect to it, i have to buy a fiio’s cable as apple’s lightening.

    Then i dig and discovered this whole usb-c mess. It breaks intoperability. That’s why i was mad. It’s inefficient and wasteful…and no vendors were able to help me when i asked which cable can work with it.

    They don’t know cable as you do, and i guess i have to take lesson on cable myself as i can’t trust manufacturer nor vendors that are as knowledgeable as me. I should have gone to the hacker fab lab first.


  • For me, i manage a minetest server and it was very diffucult, there were polish, turkish…lot players were young and couldn’t speak any english word. And it was crazily difficult because i wanted to help them, then explain why i decided and it was a very difficult experience to maintain a good multilingual community with young people along my server own rule.

    Very hard :( I hope i will succed one day.
