    Quote from Negan

    Any other small issues ? Did you update or a clean install ?

    it was an update from 42 to 43 went smoothly but bug related to firejail (firejail firefox) which today chatgpt5 has confirmed has been noted by real world. I post a little more info at MT earlier when I had it up. I can post the the more technical info from fedora:

    Parent is shutting down, bye...

    I find chatGPT is pretty good with linux output, it explains what is wrong with possible fix, but since this bug seems to be widespread on other 43 systems, I'm going to wait it out and see if fedora techies fix it.

    Not much different than other software. What is it you can not do simmerskool

    not sure, eg y/day under forum I had several unread posts, I clicked the top one, read it (skimmed it), not relevant for me, so I closed it, and it remained UNREAD, and then I started clicking on like for everything, PS hovering over the like icon do not open choices for me like on MT, so I have to DO one more click to get to where I want to be. a hoooman can only do so many clicks in a day :P

  • What AV / Anti Malware are you using and why ?

    Eset Ultimate is probably my fav on a win10_VM with AppGuard Solo. Just below it CP Harmony, which may have better protection but Eset feels lighter. I have McAfee and Trend Micro VMs too. I think TM runs lightly and somewhat more agreeably than McAfee, + I get occasional popup from McAfee that is unnecessary and unwanted, they even send me email to turn on or get spam/scam guard... I am still left with the feeling McAfee is too intrusive for my taste. I like MS Defender with Cyberlock now with SiriusGPT integrated. But mostly I run fedora (hardened). My router is security hardened too.

    I have been targeted, work related, once upon a time.
