Red Hat sponsors Fedora’s development and use it as an upstream source for RHEL. They also own the trademark for Fedora’s branding.

However, the project is run by elected leadership and all development is largely done by volunteers (some of which work for Red Hat). It’s not a “corporate distro” like people believe. It’s somewhere between Ubuntu and Debian.

Red Hat I get, but why Fedora? Other than getting some of its funding and open source code from RHEL, it’s largely unrelated projects.

Yeah but you agree to those warranty terms at purchase. The commenter earlier was bitching about how Framework wouldn’t warranty something OUT of warranty. They bought a device with a warranty period, it died outside that warranty period, and now Framework shouldn’t be expected to fix it for free.

It was out of warranty. That’s how warranties work.

It sucks that it died earlier than expected, but they can’t stay solvent just letting people get replacement parts outside of warranty for free.

Congrats on the Thinkpad. I look forward to your next post on /c/unixsocks.

Who the fuck is migrating off of Opera GX? People actually use that shit?

Ah yes. Another Arch-based distro that has less than three maintainers and will die in 6 months. I’ll throw it on the pile with the other 43,878 options.

Y’all do you. Linux is about choice and I love that about it, but unless this makes it a few years with continued support, I’m not touching it. I’d rather just run archinstall and choose COSMIC with FDE and an immutable file system

I thought I had a bad DP cable causing my 1440p monitor to wig out occasionally. Glad I didn’t bother buying a cable for it. I’ll either roll back or wait for the next kernel release.

AFAIK they replaced Mir with Wayland on Unity a while ago. They basically rewrote Unity to run on it instead.

Huh. Good to know. I haven’t experienced issues with using Fedora Flatpaks, but I also mostly use Flathub and always immediately add support for it in Discover.

Go ahead and try Ubuntu and let me know how much you love their “App Store” experience. So many broken apps in their Snap store.

Fedora just works. Ubuntu is like the Windows of Linux. They think they know better than their users and, as such, try to force feed you the things they think are better, even when they’re worse.

Fedora. Literally just Fedora. Not a spin. Not Silverblue.

I’ve never gotten CachyOS to run well. I’ve tried a few times and it’s either updated at some point to an unbootable situation or I had to try installing 2-3 times with different bootloader, FDE, and DE options before it would comply.

I work for a living, so having a more stable, tested platform is important to me. Fedora KDE always just works for me and is reasonably up-to-date with the latest mesa, kernel, etc.

Fedora.

I prefer the KDE spin over GNOME, but I hate GNOME.

Whatever DE you prefer, pick that one.

Man I remember learning my Fundamentals of UNIX course on Solaris with the CDE.

Steam Deck made gaming on Linux possible and that was the only thing holding me to Windows. I had been using Windows since Windows 95.

Microsoft simply stopped making an OS and started making a subscription and content delivery platform. When they did that, they lost me as a customer.

I moved from Linux Mint to Fedora KDE about a year ago. Haven’t had a single complaint on either my laptop or desktop.

Thanks Canonical…I’ll just throw it in the pile with all the other “wonderful” things you’ve made. It can go on the shelf next to Mir.

If you share it from certain browsers or the Google search app, Google injects a redirect link to basically track your activity and who you share it with. More marketing and user tracking bullshit.

KDE Plasma. It’s the most feature rich “just works” DE there is. GNOME doesn’t even have fucking maximize and minimize buttons by default without adding them via GNOME Tweaks.

I used to be a Cinnamon/Linux Mint lover, but their slow implementation of Wayland, Window Scaling, and certain other annoyances like their split NetworkManager GUI between GNOME’s UI and the native NetworkManager UI made me switch.
