What are the apps, exactly?

If they require root at start, it’s more than likely they need to access devices or sockets on the host on startup. If it’s then transitioning to another uid/gid for the actual runtime in the container - which looks to be happening - its not quite rootLESS because it obviously requires root.

I’m unfamiliar with the linuxserver images, so don’t understand the need for root here.

Windows IS a horrible OS at the technical level. It seems okay-ish from a non-technical perspective. Everything just below the surface is absolute junk. There’s a reason it’s the most exploited piece of software in history.

MS already has their own Linux distribution…

1. No, you can’t “remove” your local networking interfaces from a container and expect it to use networking, anymore than you can remove the engine from a car, and expect it to drive. Set the default route of that container to some VPN tunnel interface, and you should be fine.
2. I’m not seeing a link to any config
3. 1000:1000 is usually the default user that is created for you when you setup a Linux system, so yes it’s reasonable for them to run as your user. It is NOT reasonable to run them as root, which is 0:0. Don’t do that.

$24/mo for 6 users and 3TB storage. All the other stuff as well.

Need more details about how you’re running this test.

Proton is $15/mo for 2 users and gets you mail, 2TB drive, VPN, and Pass. Pretty worth it I’d say.

du -hsc /boot

Then what’s taking up all the space? If you want the tool to work, then grow the partition to get past the space limitation. Simple as that.

Remove old entries youve created with this tool, or grow that partition.

There’s no reason you should have a ton of different boot entries to snapshots.

What hostility? Are QUESTIONS hostile now?

Jesus, we’re all so cooked…

Please explain how “Windows” and “Linux” manufactured these touchpads?

Dying to know

The MacOS specific ones like zooming out to show all active windows in a workspace, or flipping to the next app aren’t there because, well…that’s MacOS specific.

All the more universal ones like pinch to zoom, scrolling…etc are all there. I actually used an Apple TouchPad for years just because I had it around. Worked fine.

You can also run a simple plugin in Gnome to map custom gestures to whatever you want if needed.

You must be using some junk touchpads then. I have two that work just as they would on a Mac. No issues.

I call BS.

Gnome Desktop will be the most familiar UI and workflow for you. Other than that, just take note of your existing software stack, and check to see which will also have Linux builds to install.

Not sure what someone with only 2% total vision would even be able to see, but whatever they would use on Windows has analogous tools on every DE in Linux. Just ask them what they currently use: magnification, high contrast, screen reader…etc, then set those up for them. Also make sure to get whatever hotkeys they use in their workflow as people with visual impairments rely heavily on them.

You run the instructions for Gnome already, or not at all?

You can get a WiFi or LTE trail cam that essentially to works the same. If you get LTE though, you’ll almost certainly need a VPN setup on your network as well to work around CGNAT issues.
