Fedora is life.

For me it replaced every other distro, since the minimal install of its fedora Server flavour is just aß minimal as debian

Fedora.

Its not new, its not special with some big changes or special kernels, it has sane settings.

It has releases every 6 months, and updates about as much as arch

If you look at something like fedora images, its something like fedora Linux 7.13.1-201.x64.f44, And this only gets worse once you get to something like the surface kernel

So probably it will shorten the names to something like Fedora Linux, but then you won’t know what you want to select if anything goes wrong

What I mean is that boot managers are like static friction: it’s a theoretical thing that simply does not impact you as long as youre moving, until the moment you stop at which point it becomes real and starts pushing back as strongly as you configured them to be

Just make your grub wait 3 secs before booting, it isn’t worth saving that one press on the enter key

Its nice and all until you forget to delete your 20 kernels + recovery

I like being able to debug stuff.

Windows nowadays does not provide any meaningful logs, so everyone in their forums and such is just guessing around why things won’t work.

DirectSound libraries are missing? Install them via a sub menu of a sub menu of a really small text in the settings, wait 20 minutes for a „loading bar” telling you nothing, and guess what problem it had when it just told you no.

Aside from all the bugs like the menu bar just not opening and preview updates being shown with the same size as regular updates (great because older people will just install those updates too)

Youre fake news

Plasma 6?7 is currently queued for stable release

I have a multi monitor setup and regularly play helldivers, war thunder, etc on an rtx card on a display with gsync

The games often have stuttering problems and behave generally unexpectedly when in full screen, and mouse capture dosent work, so 50% of the time I had to disable the monitor so it dosent go to the other screen and tab out of the game

Tried on both endeavourOS and mint, so its probably a cinnamon thing

I use it on my backup PC tho and never had a problem with normal applications, its great performance wise

Fedora

Used linux for 4 years now, I’ll list it and the reason why I switched

• Ubuntu (snaps, etc)

• arch (too much setup)

• opensuse (nvidia drivers don’t get checked for size, broke my GUI many times

• Gentoo (too much compile time)

• bazzite (a bit boring)

• fedora atomic (immutable, can’t get mullvad on it), still use on my htpc

• mint (cinnamon DE is shit)

• endeavour (its still arch)

• fedora regular

actions done collectively by SystemD

Nope. It only needs one maintainer to do the PR

It’ll discourage people from becoming open source developers

You know what will discourage Them more? Id verification

relatively inconsequential law

Give me your Id. Seriously, go and give me your ID with nothing blurred.

Are there any packages that can provide an out of box experience? Or can I use flakes for that?

Yeah, but I’ve had enough cleanup jobs when daily driving Gentoo amd64 branch, I want something OOB

Turn off the power supply, wait a minute, turn back on

Its not a Linux Problem, happens with MBS in general

Just a heads up, you have apparently never helped any stranger.

Once they know you can help for free, they will expect this of you all the time, for free.

And the questions will be infuriating as ever. If you want to try it, just go to a beginners forum like gutefrage or your equivalent shitposting site and just answer every question on linux. No skipping.

Trust me, or if you dont at least just get a second phone number for it so you dont have to migrate to a second one once you decided that it takes a way too big toll on your mental health

GNOME network monitors exists.

grapheneos’ attacks on other groups

Where Attack? The worst Graphene ever did was say that they don’t support certain Phones like FP because they are not updating their OS to their liking

Are you gonna go to Qubes OS next and complain that they are attacking laptop manufacturers (don’t officially support Laptops because they don’t have an open source UEFI)?

Great, but when kbigscreen.

I need a decent Chromecast replacement

Thats what I mean, in the last few weeks/months, there was no big thing that win users needed to be able to switch.

Linux in a vacuum is a great OS, and what it cant do in the context of Windows is more a „Proprietary formats and software being Industry standard” problem than a Linux problem.

I’m not saying that everyone should just abandon the standards , but that if you need to have these standards, nothing is going to change in a production envoirment that magically makes Linux work for you (in home you can argue about VMs and proton, but that’s not a valid tactic for companies), and you need to keep using windows.

And the other way around, if you don’t need any of these standards, you don’t have any reason to still use Windows, except that you don’t want to change.

This.

For Years, you had the Option to use Linux. Since the release of the win 11 beta, Linux has not made any relevant big steps. The leopards have simply decided to eat your face this time.

A refugee would be someone losing their home in a bombing. A windows 10 turned Linux user is more like a Trump voter turned no kings protestor because he though sending the government emails will sure stop the anti trans laws.

And no, sOmE uSeRs hAvE tO uSe WinDoWs is not an argument. If everyone who was still on windows until now was reliant on it, why are they installing and switching to Linux? Every new Linux user is someone who was simply too ignorant to install it.

is the only difference the syntax ? How libraries interact? How disks are mounted ?

Ah, yes.

You know, the things you just mentioned ARE the basic differences. As long as both work on the same architecture, and none reinvent the wheel, everything is the same.

And as long as you don’t reinvent the computer and make a new assembly and binary, a kernel and libraries will be the most effective ways to work.

Its like saying „what is the difference between python and c++ anyway? If we just strip away everything differentiating the 2, we just get a programming lang.

And yes, I would prefer Linux, for the same reason a python Dev prefers python and a C++ Dev prefers C++: because I’m Used to the syntax and the quirks of Linux. I don’t want to jump back to the ungodly CLI of cmd, powershell and everything else. I have learned the ins and outs of Linux, and that’s how its gonna stay.

Serious question: Do I have to be a jew in order to use it?

(Because KZs and im German and stuff)
