  • Wait…so you’re looking for a solution with zero problems because of…clout or something? I don’t get it.

    If you like Debian, just stay with Debian. Especially if you’re not familiar with what running Arch really means in the deeper sense. Mostly that the guardrails are off, in a sense.

    CachyOS puts a ton of work into adding UX helpers that makes it pretty user friendly, but it’s still going to have a lot of manual intervention required, but that’s a feature to some.

    If you have an AMD laptop, maybe look into installing SteamOS and Kodi as a non-steam app. That could be your sweet spot.







  • Unless there is a mapping between a UID of a user across many different machines (something like a domain controller), you’re not going to be able to set proper permissions by user. You need to use a generic group, or provide global read access at a minimum.

    I’m not 100% sure why you’ve chosen this route, but there are MUCH simpler ways of doing this that don’t involve VMs and NTFS volumes.

    At this point, you’re butting up against 3 levels of nested permissions, including the VM. My suggestion would be to make sure all the files on the NTFS volume have global read access, then go into the VM and attempt to set NTFS permissions on the files (they are different). If that becomes too tedious, you could just try setting 777 on all shared files. It’s unsafe, but may get you through until you find a more…workable solution for what you’re doing here.

    I think the overall solution is to just not need this Windows VM, so look at moving these sites off to Nginx or something ASAP.









  • Offline first for online content? Whoa buddy, where’s this Moon you’re asking for?

    Seriously though, you need to be realistic when you’re asserting your wants for a service or tool. Everyone builds tools to sync bookmarks and save lists now, because that’s a feature that users want. It’s going to be difficult to find something that is “offline”.

    Try using a memo app maybe? Lots of password managers have the ability to save links, and would technically be “outside” the browser if you want them to be.
