More and Faster, here we come

Steals it from your system I meant. Which has even happened to security pros.

True dat. But if they compromise your computer the first thing the look for is key files.

Like my ssh keys are in a root permission file. Protected from general sight, but if somebody compromises my PC with a CVE on then goodbye keys.

At least with hardware key it is removable and requires a button press.

So accessing becomes physical access or quantum computer cracking

I mean yes everything is hackable. Thankfully the hardware key supports FIDO where there is a public / private pair with private locked on the hardware. Not enough services support this though.

So threat is being targeted and having somebody steal the hardware key.

Not if your TOTP codes are generated by another device, then the attacker needs your password, plus the device holding the key for TOTP. If you use it on your phone and authenticator is your phone then a theif has everything when they steal your phone.

Hardware key for TOTP is a better 2FA method as its totally separate from your PC or phone

Its still just a single factor if some body steals your private key.

Is that a mouse in the small of my back?

I’m running an early version of that on a 16 year old ARM board NAS, the NAS has 256MB of RAM and OpenMediaVault runs great on it.

Bloat is relative, I guess.

If you are doing some gaming maybe try Bazzite, it will come setup for the hardware option you choose. Good place to start before jumping right into arch

Tumbleweed and Nvidia Proprietary drivers worked really well for my games. There is Bazzite that’s ready to go for gaming too.

Google funds them so their is “competition” in the browser space, to ward of antitrust lawsuits

I don’t think that applies when you intend to type something but accidental type enter after your first slash / :)

Thankfully I don’t hit the space bar randomly (yet) but btrfs snapshotting has saved the day for other mishaps

Oof. I always type the whole path just because I have made this mistake before.

Yes pretty much exact

My wife and windows could not get along, to many inconsistencies. I set up a repeatable comfig NixOS for her with GNOME. She now never complains about the computer, since it is always the same.
