Should I use Zen or Floorp Browser ? (lemmy.today)

I am currently using Librewolf.

But Zen & floorp browser looks beautiful.

What do you suggest?

I personally like the looks of Zen.

I would also appreciate any tips to make Zen more secure than it already is.

Edit: consider this too

but not for performance reasons.

Can you tell why you are using CachyOS kernel other than performance?

I have seen some people claiming that custom kernels like zen cachyos offer better battery life and performance.

Is it true ?

Can't boot into snapshots via rEFInd (lemmy.today)
 

What I want:

To boot into a BTRFS snapshots from rEFind boot manager.

Additional Info:

  1. So, apparently, to restore the BTRFS snapshot of a root subvolume, I shouldn't do it with the root partition being actively used.
  1. So, I need to boot into the desired snapshot from the boot manager itself.
  1. GRUB has grub-btrfs, which lets you boot into snapshot from OS selection screen itself.
  1. rEFInd has refind-btrfs, which should do the same as grub-btrfs. But it didn't in my case. I am not seeing any way to boot into a snapshot from rEFInd.
  1. I use BTRFS Assistant with snapper to manage snapshots.
  1. I am not seeing any way to restore the snapshot from live environment too.
  1. I am using CachyOS (Arch) with Plasma DE.
  1. I suspect the reason is my unusual /efi /boot partition layout. (attached below)
  1. I did my partition this way because, my initial EFI partition had less storage (as seen on image), so , I created another boot partition and mounted my pre-existing EFI partition to /boot/efi. I did this by referring a Youtube video (I know, I should've known better)
  1. I also encrypted my BTRFS / partition
  1. If you need any other info, please ask.

EDIT: Can anybody ask around reddit? They keep banning me.

Second Heart should have 300 - 200 seconds ( 5 - 3.3 minutes ) timeout. But for me it is 35 MINUTES, does anybody know why?

Tier 4:

Tier 5++:

Additional Info:

One of the images contains cooldown for Self-Ice. That one is actually seconds and work as it intended.

Why I shouldn't use Discover on Arch (Plasma) ? in c/linux4noobs@programming.dev
[–] gpstarman@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah. Not like this 👇

someone from reddit 👇

My big problem with discover is that it is a vertical layout for something usually horizontally oriented across platforms.

There are no banners or large graphics on the home page. Nothing that makes you feel like you're in an overarching meta view of the app and all the apps available to you. Instead the front page is just icons and names, same deal with all the categories. It's just not easy to use to actually find apps, I guess? It feels too much like a package manager or catalogue metaphor and not enough like being in a marketplace?

I guess it's just not easy for some people to understand that not every people like CLI or TUI. 😮‍💨
