  • Those are distinct distros, while Bedrock is a layer that sits on top of multiple different distros and actively merges them together. At a glance, vanilla doesnt look like they merge/manage other distros at all? So I’m not sure the comparison makes sense. BlendOS is a completely different approach by using containers to isolate the different systems. Bedrock wants to merge the different systems where ever possible. I wouldn’t say either is better or worse as their goals appear to be entirely different.


  • Have you ever heard of Bedrock Linux? Its an extremely interesting “meta-distro” that let’s you run multiple different distros at the same time only marginally isolated. The whole premise is to merge the systems together instead of separating them with a container style workflow. Tons of stuff works cross distro to! Its extremely cool to have Debian AND Arch packages just installed the normal way on each distro. Its a beautiful and horrifying system, that warms my heart every time I remember it.



  • I’ve used 4k and 1440p monitors, and my TV is 4k as well. For desktop use, 4k isn’t really a big difference because of the hardware needed to run it at a decent speed. However, once I got my hands on a 170hz 1440p monitor, I can’t go back to anything less. It’s extreme noticeable. The higher refresh rate, and the reasonable upgrade in pixel density makes text much clearer, especially in motion.

    For content viewing though, 4k on a TV it depends on how much of your field of view is occupied by the TV. Most of time though, a high quality panel is worth much more than higher pixel density. There is a massive difference between a basic 4k big box store TV, and 4k LG oled. The color, even outside of HDR content is just so much better, and the true actual black color is fantastic. Resolution is nice, but honestly, oled color is so good.






  • The post you originally replied to was misunderstanding how the username is located when authenticating with a server.

    Original post:

    The public key contains a user name/email address string, I’m aware, is the same information also encoded into the private key as well?

    Your reply would be creating more confusion, because you implied that no username is required.

    Your reply:

    That means the corresponding public key that was uploaded to the git server is enough to authenticate and no username is required.

    I am just clarifying if the original poster read your comment and was led to believe they wouldn’t need a username. It is, in fact, required. As you expressed, it’s usually “git” when connecting to a a git server, but it doesn’t have to be.
