I keep seeing people recommending Debian. Its a great OS, especially for server stuff (which I use in multiple VMs in my home lab), but I wouldn't recommend it on a computer you're actively using. They take so long to update packages you're always multiple versions behind. This really makes it difficult to get bug fixes and patches for software that you're using on a daily basis. The hardware support is never as good as other options.
+1 for tumbleweed. Swapped to it from Ubuntu a few years back and it's been great. Up-to-date everything, very stable, built in recovery just in case the last update had some regressions. Highly recommend
On the professional front, I can tell you that unifying the keys to mgmt interfaces to critical infrastructure in a single app is not a welcome tool to see on my junior admin desktops
As opposed to having them spread out? Across multiple apps?
I would have my doubts about a junior admin who hasn't developed a personal strategy to manage this themselves.
What about using a single app to organize their connection methods to various VMs and containers?
It's an easy way to manage multiple servers/vms remotely. It makes transferring files to remote headless systems easy and simplifies remembering multiple hosts. It's akin to moba xterm, a similar windows only project
Opensuse Tumbleweed is great, I've been daily driving it for ages on 3+ devices. It's a rolling release and has all the latest packages, but is extremely stable. It has a built in recovery tool called snapper that allows you to roll back to a previous state before an update on the off chance you get a bad one. Ive only had to use it a few times over the years but it's been great to have.
I've worked with 3D printers for the last 8 years. The bambus are the most reliable, easiest to use, fastest, and have some of the best print quality I've seen.
I wish they were more open but their replacement parts are cheap and the value of everything just working is terrific.
The success of KDE depends on maintaining and attracting new developers. C++ is decreasing in popularity, with less people becoming willimg to learn it overtime. Adding more modern languages to the mix that are more pleasant to write with will help keep KDE popular with devs.
Like many others, I have mixed feelings on this. If anyone is stopping by and doesn't want to read through the linked forum thread, this is frameworks goal:
This isn’t a program to get people to go to conferences and rep Framework, it’s a program to give people who are already going to conferences and showing off their Framework some swag and opportunities to talk with the team. It’s not assigning work, it’s just saying thank you to people who are excited about Framework and active in the Linux community.
They have a lot of products, including other fans and thermostats. I've had their media cabinet fans running 24/7 for 4-5 years now with no problems. Highly recommend it.
This isn't a joke. Often times rewriting features like this will allow the code to be more streamlined and use the latest KDE library features. This is brining new features using modern and more maintable code that solves long standing issues. Fixing the old code sometimes isn't worth the effort for a variety of reasons (based on unmaintained libraries, the original code might have been written a while ago so it's had many revisions of fixes that necessarily complicated the code, etc.)
