Dude in the thumbnail is Samy. He's been a bond villain for a long time now.

Nix has an ephemeral command to "install" packages to try out before installing permanently. nix-shell -p <package> will install the package, and drop you into an ephemeral shell to test it out. Exit the shell and it's gone.

It's also possible to install permanently straight from the CLI, but that ruins composability. To each his own.

My bigger problem w nix is the lack of FHS and the hoops you have to jump thru to get a non standard app to work.

Protonmail supports + addresses as well. Not sure about others.

Ytdlp then ffmpeg convert to diff format or bitrate. No virus can survive that. Pulling from ph should be safe enough.

Yeah, for the restore process, I install a couple drivers for some USB devices. So a reboot is required. Otherwise, I has an alias for switch.

Data wise, it's mostly the same. i use syncthing to a couple different systems, one of which is essentially a storage server. The main difference for me is the app installations. apt install all the apps, then configure each. Kills a whole day for me. I'm sure it can be automated, maybe ansible / salt / . But the way I use it, Nix enforces that I always update my configs in a manner that is easily restorable.
Copy my backed up system into /etc/nixos/
Run nixos-rebuild boot. Reboot.
Setup syncthing. ? Profit

Awesome. Welcome to the club. Be patient. It's VERY different. The more you learn Nix (the language) the better off you'll be. I'm still on that path myself.

This is similar to my story. I installed it on a laptop. Got really frustrated with it, and went back to arco for a while. Took the full plunge a couple months later, and decided I'm just gonna do it, torpedoes be damned. no regrets now.

 

Google, Amazon, Bing extensions have been added to Firedragon browser. These do not show up under "Addons and Themes". I only found them in "about:debugging"

This is a default install, with default settings. It is completely unaltered from what is shipped w/ Garuda. It does seem to be related to search provider settings.

Though Garuda is not a privacy based distro, FireDragon is based on LibreWolf. It seems the Garuda team decided to add these extensions in after the fact. Default Librewolf does not contain these extensions. (or at least the flatpak version I installed to verify didn't)

This may, or may not, directly affect your privacy. I would guess that info is only sent to these providers if they are specifically requested. But it is JUST a guess.

I'm sure this has been done to monetize the distro, provide support, yada yada.

I personally do not care what the reasoning, or whether or not any information is sent to providers. I will be moving away from Garuda ASAFP. If they do this, what else has been done?

As always, stick w/ recommended on privacyguides.
