    Depends on what your using/how its set up.

    GNOMEs native password manager “Passwords and Keys” has the opportunity to store the Browsers Keyring. So if you store passwords in Firefox/Chrome they get stored in Passwords and Keys (and then auto gilled in the browser).

    KeePassXC has a Browser plugin, as long a your password databases is unlocked it will autofill inside the Browser.

    Its Linux, so there is not one solution and it won’t simply work across all apps.

    OK. Finally got your point. That’s a fair argument and I guess one strategy to approach it that way.

    Though I do feel like the takeaway most people had from Linus’s failure is “If Linus can’t figure it out how can I ever?” So I would argue in that way the challenges sort of falsified the truth?

    But yeah got your point now, sorry for being slow.

    Sorry I still feel like we have a misunderstanding here.

    I was saying that Linus is not an Average PC user so he would not simply click yes. I feel like you’re reasoning the other way round? I.e. an Average PC user would just click yes so Linus I not an averge PC user but that doesn’t make sense to me since he did simply click yes?

    I’m sorry I keep on about this and if I’m completely misunderstanding you I just wanna figure out what you mean

    If you gave a scrolling wall of terminal text to the average PC user and then asked “yes or no”, they will just say “yes”.

    As much as Linus tries to claim it whenever he fucks up in Linux, he is NOT the average PC User. Yes he is a Windows power user foremost but a lot of knowledge and concepts translate broadly. For example: if you get a warning you have to read it before pressing yes like a monkey.

    I agree what happened to Linus should not have happened, but the fact that Linux distros just let you shoot yourself in the foot like that is part of the freedom Linux offers.
    “You wanna remove THAT? Sure go ahaead” in this case they even put in a “You sure you wann do that? This will break things”

    As someone who’s installed arch manually back in the day way before archinstall was a thing I tend to agree. Putting together your own install and seeing how everything fits together, to me, is the point of arch. If anything breaks I know what too lol at since I put it together myself and now how it goes together.

    However sometimes we might need to reflect on gatekeeping and just because “back in my day we didn’t have a fancy script to help you” we might still let people use it for their first install (or let them use a arch based distro to get started)

    Well as someone who’s been using gnome since about 3.10 I might be able to explain my view:
    Before that I’ve used plasma and Unity and a whole lot of Mate but then I started using Gnome for a pretty and smooth experience right out of the Box.
    Now I’ve simply been using it for so long that it’s muscle memory all the way.
    I don’t agree with everything the gnome devs decide and I definitely am annoyed that I have to use extension for small things that should just be a toogle in the settings but I’ve realized some time ago that if I did switch to plasma I would use all the customizability to make it work like Gnome … so I stay on Gnome.
