I will never understand what is rough. Ive been using fedora kde for what … 2-3 years now? More?
2 years ago there were some issues with nvidia, but that is fixed now mostly.
I use it for work, there is an ocasional hiccup, that gets fixed next reboot, something like a terminal not resizing just right but … thats it?
People dont like change man, in the day and age when tech changes at breakneck speed, people dont like change
I know, I was just having a bad day and I kinda took it out on you. My bad.
If you ever want to self host … psono is always an option, but it has a hairy setup.
As a former sysadmin, there is plenty of logic in saying that. I have debugged countless systems that were using systemd, yet somehow the openrc ones just chug along. In the server space systemd is a travesty.
In the desktop space however, i much prefer systemd. Dev environments as well. So yes thst is where “it’s fine”. More than fine, needed!
I just hate this black and white view of the world, I cant stand it. Everything has its place, on servers you want as small a software footprint as possible, on desktop you want compatibility.
This right here is why i moved to a single display setup.
Convenience, time saved.
Yup. Go back a version of xfreerdp. Done.
sudo dnf downgrade xfreerdp (or whst ever is the name of the package)
What the fuck are you on about? Jesus christ, we get ragebait in here too now?
Know your usecases. Thats it. Linux isn’t hard if you do.
But no, let me recommend the jet engine service manual to my 6 year old that is learning to read. You’re going to have a bad time.
For the record, since this post and most comments irked me, arch is fine. I’m using arch on my workstation/personal rig for years. Fedora on the laptop because I need a stable work thing. Alpine VMs on the homelab because it needs light and stable.
USECASES!
I second the fedora kde spin. Been using it for years on my work laptops. Hasnt failed me yet.
Just flash your own.
Maybe I chose the words badly. I meant that want to live in a civilized place, i have been an expat for 10 years and I just want to put down roots with my wife. So far we have been moving with the jobs and I had enough. Thats what I meant with my colourful language.
Yeah, I know, I am in the process of leaving where I am now (eu citizen) and its between uk, germany and the netherlands. The reason I didnt look seriously at swiss, is because of all the stories I heard about people never integrating, despite efforts.
I’m looking for my forever place, that means balls deep in every aspect.
This is such a superficial take.
Flatpaks have their use-case. Alpine has its use-case as a small footprint distro, focused on security. Using flatpaks would nuke that ethos.
Furthermore, they need those servers to build their core and base system packages. There is no distro out there that uses flatpaks or appimages for their CORE.
Any distro needs to build their toolchain, libs and core. Flatpaks are irrelevant to this discussion.
At the risk of repteating myself, flatpaks are irrelevant to Alpine because its a small footprint distro, used alot in container base images, containers use their own packaging!
Furthermore, flatpaks are literal bloat, compared to alpines’ apk packages which focus on security and minimalism.
Edit: Flatpak literally uses alpine to build its packages. No alpine, no flatpaks. Period
Flatpaks have their use. This is not that. Check your ignorance.
So I have to move to Swiss then, got it.
So many tips, let me add mine.
When installing use the archinstall the first time, unless you really want to go into the deep end and use the normal install.
Like folding at home :D
That averages out to around 300 megabytes per second. No way anyone has that at home comercially.
One of the best comercial fiber connections i ever saw will provide 50 megabytes per second upload, best effort that is.
No way in hell you can satisfy that bandwidth requirement at home. Lets not mention that they need 3 nodes with such bw.
I did something very similar, spent about a year on fedora … 33? then discovered “my preferred distro” and never looked back.
Thing is that everyone finds their place with a distro and settles for as long as it suits their needs. Then, you might move on, you might not. Its just an OS, a means to an end. Use what you need, then use something else, no need to go to the doctor for hopping headaches :)
Those are terribly run enterprises. I work for a giant multinational that is widely considered to be obsolete tech-wise … I’m on fedora 42 on my work laptop. The team responsible for vetting, security and customising the deployment was ready day one.
Its 3-4 people catering for the ~2-3000 users that use the os internally.
I get the need for stability and repeatability in enterprise. I’m a sysadmin for more than 20 years. That 3 year timeline could maybe move up a bit, even windows deployments are more or less up to date. Why would’t linux be?
Lastly, the more resistance to wayland, the longer it will take for it to reach a level of polish to where even you would aprove of.
When the switch became inevitable (distros defaulting, dropping x11), I installed it, lived with its crappy issues back then, reported said issues and moved on with my day.
Edit: I will say, one thing I still hate about wayland is the sleep behaviour. The 2 x11 systems I still use work well for this, none of my wayland systems want to wake up from sleep nicely.
