Yup and since like 2 weeks that version doesnt suck anymore.
Before that, it did.
And there are more issues with Ubuntu than just their atrociously themed GNOME. Bad updater, not shipping GNOME Software (ootb), no flatpak support (ootb), simply following outdated paradigms
No not a part of the OS and als no idea why they used python, that script is full of crazy functions so may be needed.
I translated the python 3.12 to 3.9 using ChatGPT lol, as even after installing up-to-date python and placing it in my home $PATH the script threw errors.
I think it worked, but there is an issue with my atomic system, so I likely need to build an RPM for the changes or use a different command for akmods or package the kernel myself or whatever.
I found a script online that installed the tar archive. For some reason that version of python still wasnt used, and invoking it with python3.12.6 or something didnt do anything
Actually with electronic cryptographic IDs we could get rid of a shitload of issues. Everyone gets 2 passkeys and a strange method to reset stuff like with some other identification.
No on Fedora Atomic Desktops for some reason people tell you not to install RPMs, but actually it is unproblematic.
Unlike OpenSUS microOS, Fedora Atomic Desktops have a reset function to delete all local changes and become 100% upstream.
The issues really only come with /var, /etc and the user home where config-file-creep grows and you get random errors after doing to much shit with your install.
But it is still safer to install RPMs on than on dnf Fedora.
OpenSUS microOS has no advantages over traditional Tumbleweed afaik, apart from the atomic updates that you have a single fallback option.
Android is Linux, simply not the traditional userspace :)
Linux Distros have a huge variety. What have you tried?
