dnf autoremove might do the trick. I'm on Fedora Silverblue, so thankfully don't have to worry about this anymore.

Sounds like a server-side issue to me. Found something similar from 6 months ago...and another here.

Lots of great responses here already. In terms of simplicity and ease of maintenance, Hugo is going to be the best solution with its single binary, built-in features, and ease of setup/use.

That's an impressive list of changes!

Mullvad VPN provides a variety of blocklists, including ads, trackers, malware, gambling, social media, and adult content.

I experienced similar resizing issues with 47 and Flatpak Firefox, but in my case I was forcing FF to use Xwayland to accommodate my password manager. Once I enabled Wayland support in Flatseal, performance was back to normal.

Hah any time, man! Your work and YT vids are what really got me hooked me on Silverblue and the cloud native workflow! I'll never look at computing the same way again lol.

The biggest hurdles are unavoidable under stock Android, but it really depends on your needs. What are you trying to protect against?

Hah nice, I'd never heard of this one but there's been plenty of times I've wanted to make a quick loop and didn't want to fuss with it in ffmpeg directly. Will definitely check it out!

I still haven't taken any of the uBlue images for a spin, but I sincerely appreciate what they're doing and Jorge has been the perfect champion for the project.

I like to use upstream as much as possible. Partly to minimize breakage and complexity, but also for the increased security and overall focus of resources on a given project. That said, I have no doubt they're awesome builds and have helped win a lot of folks over to this way of computing!

I totally get it as I'm a tinkerer too, but these days I spend most of that energy on webdev, house projects, thrifting/restoring stuff, etc. If only there was more time in a day lol.

There's plenty of freedom to tweak local themes with atomic distros, as your home dir itself is entirely mutable and can be changed to your liking.

As to why Fedora/Arch... I love Arch and have used it daily for almost 20 years. I was an Arch dev once upon a time (Judd/Aaron era), and I designed the logo and web branding in use today. The project means a lot to me.

The inherent benefits of atomic systems caught my attention a couple years ago, and Fedora's implementation won me over.

My hope is that Arch eventually (and officially) adopts a similar approach as these image-based systems become mainstream, at which point I'll happily be the first in line for testing!

Fedora Silverblue (atomic GNOME) and Kinoite (atomic KDE) have been solid for both work and gaming. System maintenance is largely seamless and automatic once configured. I still use Arch daily, but only in the terminal (distrobox and containers).

Going AMD is so worth it too, I have zero regrets swapping my RTX 2080s for RX 6800 XTs. Secure boot, Wayland, no fuss updates. Couldn't be happier.

You mentioned needing customization...not sure what you're hoping for there, but the atomic distros allow for plenty of userspace tweaks. It's the system-level stuff, like boot and greeter themes, that require a bit more work to implement. My time is too precious to fuss about that stuff these days.
