Been using it over a year with much issues (besides it killing my microphone one time and I ended up having to reinstall despite trying to fix it.) and I’m a literally noobie. I do still use x11 over wayland because it had issues last time I tried.
Lutris or steam are ok (I use both).
I'm just pretending to be a faggot for the lols saar. Anything that gets people away from proprietary software is an act of good. GNU with linux included is like owning the house, make it your own. That's totally fine
How does a buffer overflow exploitaion work?
Heroic games launcher works great for gog and egs games, lutris is only worth it for games on random windows launchers that need special configs.
I've been using EndeavourOS for years now; the worst thing that ever happend to me was an update temperarily broke mesa for me, and I had to switch to mesa amber for a while. Overall I'd say it's great.
Arch based distros are fine for personal use, just give it a shot. One nice thing about Linux is it's easy to distro hop without losing anything. It's easy to install and use "out of the box."
But seriously command line does bring back good childhood memories. Like playing all those MajorMUDs on the local bulletin board systems. Scripting telnet clients in ancient code so you can level up faster. It's just good, comfy associations man. Obviously that's not for everybody and is a major deterrent for 999/1000 people. But even Arch has come a long long way with the new install scripts.
TLDR it happens when a program writes data outside of its allocated memory and you make it either spit out stuff it isn't supposed to or return to an unintended location. You plug a shoddy input that makes a program with buggy code that doesn't keep it in its memory boundaries invoke or jump to somewhere that has malicious code.
I'm switching to it whenever I find time to sit down and play musical partitions: In news that that will surprise nobody, Manjaro has shat all over my dependencies again and I'm out of fucks to give and time to waste fixing the damn thing. @Croco if you want to spend all day staring at a terminal prompt you should give Manjaro a go.
Rust is about as 'memory safe' as a kiddy safe with a bunch of quarters in it, in reality. For its 10-15 year old existence, it's already gotten its own CVEs, and not all of them are due to misuse of the 'unsafe' functions.
I was going to add to my post that most large projects that use rust always have a lot of code inside unsafe functions, but i got lazy and didn't want to type anymore
.From what i remember the application is very out of date and breaks a lot. Lutris has a runner for it but it doesn't handle free games sadly.
I use Heroic Launcher for the EGS and GOG games.
Itch.io does have a linux launcher but its not great (speaking from personal experience). you can download games and browse the store, but things like showing your game library are herculean tasks and when you do manage to find it, its a terrible laggy experience with no search or filter function.
CVEs are a like a business for retarded people. Everything gets CVEs and most of them are honestly complete BS that don't matter.
Sure, but when one of your CVEs is about a buffer overflow, or a race condition, or... you know, memory problems in memory-safe land, the claims that language X is memory-safe don't age well. And the latest one was about privilege escalation with cargo on Windows.
How about using cock mail instead. Also, this project exists to alleviate troubles with Firefox being a shitter: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon
Is this something I install and run from Terminal?
