Give it to me straight. How worried are you for Fedora's future after Red Hats recent anti user decisions?

  • Firmware is software.

    Debatable.

    Example 1: The microcode hardwired on your CPU (the one before you upload an updated one into it on every boot). Is it software if it's physically on the chip?

    Example 2: Let's say you have some PCIe card which has a small FPGA chip on the board to handle say some signaling. Is the FPGA circuity software?

    I don't have answers to these. I'm saying the lines are blurred when you look closely what's software, what's firmware and what's hardware.

  • I even ran systemd for a while on my desktop machine. However it was too complex and buggy even so that I switched back to OpenRC. I never used systemd on my server. Nowdays systemd may be more mature, but I don't bother to switch. Also I cannot have systemd without binary logs. Yuk! I don't run as RH-free as Neddy does, but I've switched from elogind to seatd. I'd like to burn polkit down (why on earth does it use javascript as config syntax? Why not just plain shell then? Or Lua?), but so far I haven't.

    I'll stop now. So /rant

  • My guess is if they want free, they'll choose Debian.

    • Turkin presidentti yhdisti Ruotsin Nato-jäsenyyden ratifioinnin siihen, että Turkki pääsee EU:n jäseneksi

    Jump

  • Oon vähän ihmetellyt kuinka toi Turkki on edes NATOmaa..? Sellasta pientä veljeilyä Putinin kanssa vähän väliä.

    • Osa opiskelijoista luopuu vapaaehtoisesti Kelan asumistuesta, koska järjestelmä on liian vaikea – Kela ei suosittele

  • Komppaan. Jos Kelalta tulee joku lappu kotiin, ni heti ekana mielessä "Mitä ne nyt haluu multa?".

    • Stable Linux distro with up to date packages

    Jump

  • Note that mixing stable and unstable (~) isn't offically supported on encouraged. You sure will get still help on the forums still. Many people mix stable and unstable, me included. When I need to unmask a unstable package I'll limit the unmasking by providing some version limit. For example: <category/package-1.3.9999. This way next major version bump won't be automatically installed via @world update. It's not bullet-proof, but better than blindly unmasking every unstable version of a package.

    • My Distro ranking

    Jump

  • Yes. Gentoo is a metadistro - it gives you the tools to create your own Linux OS. However without binary package repository (which is something that Gentoo's Portage system supports) your system updates will be as slow/fast as your computer can compile. For lightweight binary distro, I'd probably go with Alpine. I used Arch for a while, but it was too bleeding edge for me.

    That said, I've been using Gentoo for almost 20 years. I don't use it for because it can be made fast, but because "Gentoo is the choice edition" and stable rolling releases.

    • why not a,b or x,y?

  • Well. I guess I'm then a some kind of heretic then. 🤷

    • What daily workstation-distro helped or hindered you when learning linux?

    Jump

  • Been using Gentoo little under 20 years. I used Arch for few years in between, but switched back. I'd say all I've learned about Linux is via using Gentoo.

  • Käsitykseni on, että pysähtyä saa, pysäköidä ei.

    Se on ns. kohteliaisuuspykälä olla pysähtymättä suojatielle.

    EDIT: Ok. Artikkelista sai kyllä käsityksen, että siihen oltiin ihan pysäköity. Etenkin kun puoliso tuli paikalle myöhemmin (oliko ollut käymässä siinä Alepassa?). Yleistän nyt, mutta varmaan joku perus bemarikuski ja päättänyt, että tähän suojatielle ssa parkata, kun parkkaa vaan hetkeksi, koska ollaan niin kiireisiä.
