Most of it is historical momentum. Regardless of relative quality, far more people try Fedora and so far more people stick with it.

As for Tumbleweed specifically, many people do not like rolling distros. I do.

We should be calling the US media to run stories about the problem Canada has with drugs coming over its southern border.

Trump took office on January 2025. Boycott started in February 2025. Ya, you really got us with those 2024 numbers. “Mike drop” indeed.

All that does is highlight how much they have to lose. Canadians were 20% of their tourism in 2024. Let’s get that down to zero.

Another way to look at it is that we thought there was no way to avoid a conservative government. Mark Carney has brought back the possibility that somebody else could win.

What will stop Mark Carney from winning will be if too many people vote NDP. If that happens, we get Pollievre. That is just the math.

Personally, I do not like to vote to send a message or complete a survey. I like to try to pick the best available government.

As a candidate to win, the NDP is not one of the options this election. You have two choices. Please pick one.

If your number two choice is going to win, picking the opposition is a viable strategy. However, if your last place pick is going to win, maybe vote for whoever has the best chance of beating them (otherwise you are choosing your last place pick).

Why do you think Panama and Canada came up on the same day. Yea, Northwest Passage.

Thank you for clearly outlining the depth of your analysis.

Recognition but not love. They will have no money.

The Swaticar is losing popularity in Europe?

Canada can set safety standards however they want. Chinese EVs are available elsewhere, like Australia. Are they catching fire there?

Or is there one video in China where these vehicles already sell in huge numbers?

No he didn’t. They were already making them when he got there.

The US does not produce much that is not available from Canada, Mexico, or Asia.

You have to go to Europe to buy aircraft.

The US is a service economy. Are you going to black market software or cloud services?

Does Sea of Thieves work on Linux? I thought it had kernel anti-cheat.

Long before you get to 100%, everybody stops buying it. Zero times anything is zero.

It is all to distract from the dismantling of any apparatus that could block his next attempt to stay in power forever.

This is all misdirection.

There is both downward price pressure and reduced demand.

It does not change the “who pays” question.

It is still the right thing to do. As you say, we just all need to be prepared for it.

We do not have to buy it

It depends on how much time you have on your hands.

Oracle Linux is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone. Almost everything in an Oracle cert would apply to RHEL.

If that is useful knowledge for you, consider doing it. Then be sure to okay with RHEL to apply what you learned. Knowing RHEL is much more commercially useful than knowing Oracle Linux. RHEL is probably still the most important distro to be familiar with commercially. Oracle Linux, Rocky, Alma, and other are RHEL clones and many places use those.

If these skills are not useful for your job, or if you do not have the time to waste studying it, then do something more valuable.

The skills are useful. I will let others chime in with opinions on how valuable the certification itself is. Maybe not much.

Same boat. As a user, I greatly prefer everything to come from the repos. However, as a distributor, Flatpak makes so much more sense.

The only Flatpak I have installed is pgAdmin. I looked at the build on Flathub with the idea of porting the package myself but got scared off. It was a maze of Python dependencies running in Electron. That seems like exactly the kind of thing that may be better off in its own sandbox.

Let me try to clarify what you are saying.

You are saying that the AUR “has every FOSS and some proprietary software”. Yep. That is why I add an Arch Distrobox to every system regardless of the host distro.

But what do you mean by “except Manjaro”? Most Manjaro fans will say that Manjaro also supports the AUR. They are correct that you can certainly enable it and start installing packages from there.

I assume you are warning that, because Manjaro maintains its own base repos and has different package versions in it than Arch does, that Manjaro is incompatible with the AUR and that using the AUR with Manjaro will cause problems. If that is what you are saying, I agree with you.

Glad it is working well for you. What does that have to do with this post?
