Why doesn't the brain just enable ray tracing ? Is it stupid ?

edit: bruh I just read your next comment and you have already kinda made the joke

oh I didn't know, pretty cool

at least both chromium and Firefox get a version with add ons

Doesn't it already support them ?

~~edit: yes it already supports them, but it seems that now there will be more focus on mobile ~~ edit3: as pointed by the comment below, only on nightly and certain forks

edit2: also they forgot about kiwi, but then it's not a major browser (and is it still maintained ?). still would've been cool if they corrected this

There is the same problem on reddit, so they brought it here too so new users won't be disoriented (/s)

But can it edit text fields ? like not drawing over them but changing the actual text stored

Neat now I will remember this meme and laugh whenever I'm supposed to stay serious

For Firefox I replaced it with the flatpak version and hid the system version, I found that better

As for chosing what to install where, i made simple rules

  • If it's available as a flatpak, I use the flatpak
  • Otherwise if it is system related/always required, rpm-ostree
  • Otherwise, I use distrobox (it's like toolbx but better, it's more integrated with the rest of the system and allows to have containers of other distros, for example I had some debian only packages and used an Arch container for AUR packages)

But if it's too much of a hassle for and it's gonna be your daily system, yeah better not use it.

If I change a config file in /etc, will the changes survive a reboot?

I didn't completely understand how etc is handled, but it worked fine and kept my configs while merging at the same time the files from the apps i installed

How can I see or decide which parts of the system are immutable and which are not?

I'm note sure it's possible, at least i didn't see the option and i've never tried (i never needed it anyway). /var was mutable, /usr/lib /usr/bin... were not (/usr/local was mutable), and /opt and /home were symlinked to /var/opt and /var/home, so mutable

edit: now i remember there was something about using "overlays" that allowed to modify /usr, i think i only used it once so i don't really remember

Can I install packages that aren’t available as flatpaks, like more obscure stuff or command line tools?

Yes, thanks to rpm-ostree, you can install basically any rpm with it, it's just really slow as each transaction must create a new generation, but it worked fine. Also you are supposed to reboot to make the changes apply, unless you use the --apply-live option (which was described as experimental when i was using it, don't now about now tho)

What about ppd files for printing, firmware, drivers, fonts, icon packs, etc.? Where and how do those get installed?

Same thing, rpm-ostree

I read on the github that there is a registry key to set to fix this problem

Did you symlink the compdqta folder um don't remember it's been too long..

Also I heard winbtrfs in windows isn't as stable as ntfs3 in Linux :(

I'm trying to share stuff between the os because I lack so much space (500 Go for Windows + nixos + my old fedora silverblue parution that still has data I have to clean) fortunately I'm soon upgrading to 1To but I'll probably fill everything again in a fews months 😅
