  • Gave it a quick shot right now, and gonna be honest - while the premise seems nice, the sample project is very transparently AI slop generated with a prompt that, I can only assume, included an instruction like “for every sentence that doesn’t include a whimsical quip, I’m gonna kill a kitten”. It is absolutely grating to read. I don’t care if you do that in your marketing copy, but keep that shit out of technical documentation, it’s annoying, it’s distracting, and it’s turning me off the entire project. Like wtf is this:



  • Also raufgeklickt, dahinter die perfekt nachgebaute SIMon-Mobile-Anmeldeseite. Meine Anmeldedaten eingegeben.

    Weil es bisher in den Kommentaren noch nicht erwähnt wurde, aber es einer der wichtigsten Schutzmechanismen gegen sowas ist: Jeder, absolut jeder, sollte konsequent einen Passwort-Manager mit Autofill benutzen, und dann sehr, sehr skeptisch werden wenn Autofill mal nicht funktioniert - normalerweise bedeutet das, dass man gerade nicht auf der Seite ist, auf der man glaubt zu sein.

    Passwort-Manager sind wirklich in jeglicher Hinsicht win-win ohne Kompromisse - sich irgendwo anzumelden wird einfacher und sicherer, gleichzeitig. Man muss sich nur noch ein einziges Passwort merken und von Hand eingeben, alles andere macht der Passwort-Manager für dich, und sorgt ergänzend auch noch dafür dass du überall unterschiedliche und sichere Passwörter benutzt.



  • I mean I get your point, but it seems like at the current point in time, “Gaming” distros also happen to be the distros that produce the least amount of weird issues and headaches for someone new to Linux, especially if you’re on Nvidia. Bazzite in particular has been incredibly smooth sailing in a way I’ve seen no other distro achieve so far. And it does have a non-Gaming sibling distro if you don’t want that stuff.


  • if you run into any weird edge case issues it’s much more likely that someone else has already been there and discovered solutions

    While that is true, the amount of those weird edge cases that you’ll get varies wildly between distros. In my experience so far on a somewhat comparable rig to OP, Bazzite has been the only one that actually just worked out of the box and had not a single hickup, while any other distro I’ve tried (Pop, Fedora and Arch) all had several issues that required troubleshooting.

    So, I guess, for someone willing to actually understand Linux, learn, and troubleshoot issues themselves, your advice is the way to go, but for the relative who wants their system to just work and would call me anyway at any sign of trouble, I’m recommending Bazzite (or Aurora, I guess) all the way













  • even if you steal my password (database)

    That’s a big leap you’re doing there, equating stealing a password to stealing a password database. Those are very different. Stealing a password can be done through regular phishing, or a host of other methods that don’t require targeted effort. Stealing a password database, if properly set up, is a lot harder than that. It depends of course on what password manager you’re using, but it usually involves multiple factors itself. So equating that to just a password, no matter how strong and random, is just misleading.

    Mind you, I agree that it’s less secure than “proper” MFA, and I’m not saying that everybody should just use MFA through a PW manager. I am using physical security keys myself. But for a lot of regular people that otherwise just couldn’t be bothered, it’s absolutely a viable alternative that makes them a whole lot safer for comparatively little effort. Telling them they just shouldn’t bother at all is just going to create more victims. There is no such thing as perfect security, and everyone has a different risk profile.
