I’m already using it for months now and it works fine for me. The lack of window positioning in Wayland is a pity, though. That’s the biggest Wayland flaw for me.

Thanks, that makes sense. All good I guess.

I wonder where it was installed from (flathub?) and whether it has something to do with the linux version. Since at least two of us don’t see a superuser notification (turdas and me) but we are both on Fedora.

Even if sandboxed, why would it need su permissions?

Yep, I feel you, it’s quite a bit different philosophy compared to VS. However, if you use other Jetbrains products, it helps that they share a lot of features so you eventually grasp the different approach. And sure, if VS Code is good enough for you, great.

Rider here for serious work. It’s also free for non commercial use if that works for you.

It should be the other way round - AI opt in.

Doesn’t flatpak achieve similar? Won’t ask for permission at runtime though.

Coming from managed languages I found syntax weird, but got more comfortable in few days 🤷‍♂️ If you’re used to one language, then usually the other looks weird initially

For now. But regardless, it’s plain silly that they are forcing you in the first place.

Why, though?

Can it be a BIOS/UEFI setting that disk is hot swappable? I vaguely remember similar issue on Windows. If that’s the case, try setting it as not hot swappable in BIOS/UEFI.

On MacOS is UMT/Qemu.

SELinux doesn’t help much when it comes to desktop apps. AFAIK it’s more geared towards server apps and its configuration is complicated. At least that’s my impression.

You are right, GPG signing is good as well. But in both cases you still have unsigned apps.

What security problems do you think package managers are vulnerable to? If the upstream repo is compromised all bets are off regardless of the system.

Yep. And in such case an antivirus software might come handy.

Even package managers are vulnerable to many security problems - can they guarantee that apps are not infected either directly or indirectly (through a library)? There is also flathub. Windows have also an option to verify apps through certificates which isn’t the case with Linux AFAIK. If you want to stay safe on Windows to some degree you can, but the real problem IMO is that Windows is hugely more used and run by less technical persons. 🤷‍♂️

Security: Linux doesn’t need antivirus, just don’t install infected software. Riiiight? Sorry, but this is silly.

From what I read so far, hardware key is just another way to decrypting, not the required. So it’s just a convenient method to avoid typing a (long) password and instead just few PIN chars. So, if somebody gets hold of password, can still decrypt the disk even without the hardware key. Not perfect, but still better than only password.
