It's a panel of tests for browsers. It isn't the clearest what each mean (without doing a little research) and not all categories and subcategories have equal importance. I still like this website though just for the listed information.

openSUSE Tumbleweed is a great rolling-release distro. The Yast tool is a powerful GUI System Admin/Settings app. Plus the openSUSE logos are green which is a good color lol.

Mostly the same, and if not all it has taken for me to figure it out was searching "fedora $pkgname"

Not really needed on Android or in general. If all you want to know is whether your system is compromised, use Auditor by GOS.

You can layer packages using rpm-ostree install $pkgname. It uses fedora repos. You can also (preferably) use a distrobox or toolbox container with a non-atomic distro and then install the desired package. Generally better to avoid layering packages but it works fine in my experience.

If all you want to do is run VMs, Qubes is not what you are looking for. Even virtual machine manager (and other abstractions over libvirt and KVM) need to be hardened to avoid compromising the host.

Example: By default virt-manager uses a NAT bridge to allow for the guest VM to access the host and the LAN. A couple of weeks ago vulnerability was found in CUPS print server, allowing a hacker to do RCE. If a guest VM was compromised (previously or because of the vulnerability), since the host also likely has CUPS the hacker could use the guest system to compromise the host. This is avoided on Qubes because the host has minimal software.

Virt-manager offers no where near the same Security as Qubes. Qubes has a security hardened host and strong Desktop security model. Everything runs in VMs (aka qubes) including different parts of the system to further improve isolation. Sure, you could replace Qubes OS with an off the shelf Linux distro and run VMs, but that is nothing like Qubes, offers none of the convenience, and isn't hardened or debloated (reducing host attack surface).

No Linux distro comes close. Qubes is designed for a specific job. I am not saying Qubes is the "best OS ever" when I say Linux distros dont come close, I specifically mean that no Linux distro is designed with as strong of a focus on Desktop security model and isolation-based workflow.

I don't know any YouTubers other than "Let's Game It Out".

My fav game to speedrun is Neon Boost (free on Steam) because of several bugs I have found in the game. Otherwise a small boring indie platformer about rocket jumping is made fun (to me) through exploitation of its physics.

  1. Diagonal movement is faster (hold two adjacent directional keys). Sliding makes you even faster.
  2. Precise rocket jumps can receive more velocity than the developers intended, allowing you to skip many parts.
  3. You can touch the end of stage goal post from underneath the platform.
  4. You can wall jump off of the top of walls, allowing for many skips and time saves.
  5. You can get massive upwards velocity by sliding into a small couple-pixel ridge and jumping precisely once you touch it. This is possible on the starting platforms of all World 1 levels. It basically only improves individual level speedrun records, except on one level where you can skip the whole level and complete it in 1 second (an 9x faster than intended.

My crowning achievement was completing the final level of World 1 (1-12) in 18 seconds. The Devs expected a fastest time around 40 sec.

Lacks many features atm, eg VoIP, matrix call, threads, etc. Still very promising and I like that it is written in Rust.

No, it is not a proxy for another search index/engine.

Yes, you can add Brave search to your other browsers.
