So OP's headline should be saying instead: Reminder to CHECK your ~/.cache folder every now and then

Fully open source, End to End Encrypted alternative to Google Photos and Apple Photos

I always felt that there should be some user directory like /tmp/ which will be wiped regularly.

That doesn't help outside of home. When we are in an untrusted network then the DNS mess makes us vulnerable for spoofing attacks.

1. Easier installation.
2. Mint configuration of desktop settings
3. Mint tools (Warpinator, Hypnotix)

Think about service providers (government, banking, messaging, streaming, gaming). To participate in life we might depend on some of their services but don't fully trust these parties. Flatpak is not secure/sandboxed enough to run untrusted apps. Meanwhile on Android the situation looks much better.

Don't panic!

Thanks for all your discussions. All your experiences are very helpful for me. Now here is my top list and reasons:

1. Cinnamon (most familiar and very stable for me)
2. XFCE (I like the responseness and lightweightness)
3. MATE (stable and reliable)
4. KDE (I like the configurability, but unfortunately I experienced a lot of instabilities and accidents)
5. Gnome (I don't like the new UI concept. When I tried it, it was laggy and non-responsive)

Out of this list:

• I3 (only head good things, but never tried it on my own installation)
• Cosmic (first time I heard about today)
• Budgie (first time I heard about today)

Because some users experienced accidential grows like OP had 160 Gbyte. So general advice for linux users can be stated as: Check your ~/.cache every now and then

Critical systems/servers shall better be monitored as you suggest.

There is "Oscilloscope" which can show frequencies and their intensity

If you have some spare time you could start adding the missing house numbers. Easiest way is using StreetComplete on Android (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.westnordost.streetcomplete/)

Great Thanks for your write Up. I would love the idea that Steam Deck comes preinstalled with an Open Source Game like Xonotic!

Don't Panic!

Is it safe to clear ~/.cache/mozilla/ while Firefox is running?

Isnt Remmina a client only? Or can it be configured to autolaunch a VNC/RDP server?

Great Game, for now i primarily play it on Android Phone. Easy to begin, but easy to die with one wrong click the game can be lost after hours of trying to get to the amulett!

not necessarily during runtime

I don't get your point. Why should somebody do this every day?

As the experience from other users in this thread, it seems not extremely rare to have an overgrown ~/.cache/ folder. So checking it from time to time is a good advice. If we all do this for a time, and create bug tickets for software which is not cleaning up. Then this problem will hopefully go away with future software releases.

I dont know how to mount external drives on Bash without root privilegues. On the Desktop environment it can be done by just clicking without root password.

Problems:

• you need an additional solution for Wifi captives portals, at least there is a gap in your solution for this situation
• intercontinental travelling might not be fun

Even if you have trust. There can be security vulnerabilites in apps we are using. Flatpak seems to not really help in any way.

wow its amazing how many Operating Systems Freetube supports. I tried AppImage on Linux Mint. Download. Set execution bit. Starting. Start Watching! Amazing!

Even Live Streams are working out of the box!

Which server are you using on linux? How did you configure autostart?

But where to get the AppImages from? Who's maintaining? How to do Security Vulnerality Tracking for them?

How to watch YouTube on Steam Deck? Via Desktop Mode?

Do you game it directly on Steam Deck Controller or on Desktop with Mouse, Keyboard?

Thanks, I assumed so! :)

Great, heard good things about OpenTTD! Do you game it directly on Steam Deck Controller or on Desktop with Mouse, Keyboard?

Tried it on VM and Backup Notebooks. Especially on old Notebooks its hardly usable.

that one does support autostart?

Does it also follow the rule to not allow closed source API? (Notification,Location,..)

No torrent files for NixOS images?

What is wrong with it? (I have no clue, never used it)

Can the Fedora Flatpaks be browsed and downloaded for other distros?

Edit: thanks for clarifying support for the Deck

Bittorrent has lots of benefits for the user:

• robust stop and resume of download

• increased download speed with using several http and torrent sources at the same time

• downloading from peers from within the same network

• automatic checksum calculation and redownlaod if needed

Sorry that I asked. Seems that you feel very offensed by my question.
