Re: Firefox and VM
Flatpak is an alternate to snap. Try them both out and see what you like best.

Re: Linux Basics
Thanks for the tip. I've also found these two channels very good for learning: Learn Linux TV (he also has curated playlists on specific topics): https://www.youtube.com/@LearnLinuxTV/videos The Urban Penguin (he also has several very good Pluralsight courses) https://www.youtube.com/c/theurbanpenguin/videos Peter On 11/29/2023 5:57 PM, Keith Smith via PLUG-discuss wrote: Hey I am trying to determine what I do not know about Linux (Ubuntu).

I found a few things that I did not know or that I might need to know more about. He does not cover logs nor does he cover Linux networking. All in all I think it is a good set of videos for anyone wanting to level up that may be, like me, self taught, that may have some missing skills. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIhvC56v63IJIujb5cyE13oLuyORZpdkL Keith --- PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss--- PLUG-discuss mailing list: PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: Linux Basics
You will know everything you should know about linux once you have installed gentoo once without assistance (but documentaton is OK), and then compiled chromium a single time. The compiling chromium part is the most important lesson.

You'd have to make sure the Snap setup for your distro has confinement setup correctly. Also, if you run your other desktop apps as Snaps you get that same confinement on those.

Firefox and VM
I've been using Apparmor and Firejail to secure Firefox for the past few years. However, for sometime now I'm finding that Firefox profiles for one or the other do not appear to be maintained. Consequently I'm looking to move my use of Firefox to a VM. My dilemma is what OS to use for the VM. Alpine or Damn Small were my first considerations. Small footprint, just the essentials and then add Firefox. Is anyone here doing something similar? Looking for suggestions as to which OS to use.
