The fact that you need a group policy to turn this kind of garbage off is ridiculous.

power-profiles-daemon is now archived? Dammit, that was a big one for Fedora.

Didn't you see the slave labor clause in there? You're indebted for at least 3 decades when you start a new GPL project.

Sanely use multiple workspaces.

I think there will be some willing to pay, but it is heavily dependent on whether people actually decide to jump over to the Fediverse or not. We really need to work hard while we still have time to drive content and community here to show users that there is a path forward.

GNOME is opinionated and beautiful. Lots of focus on reasonable design instead of massive amount of customization. It also has a great app ecosystem and documentation. I love it.

It just depends on how isolated that part of the kernel is. Unsafe code should be done only in interop, and so it still theoretically has a memory safety benefit over C in that sense.

In terms of how much interop code needs to be written for Rust at this point is another discussion though.

Just another case of "you will own nothing...". Come on over to Linux, where the ISOs are plentiful.

Six Flags AstroWorld. I still can't believe it's gone, and still can't believe it's a freakin' parking lot now.

No, this is completely false. There was a proposal to add telemetry. There is nothing planned as of yet. In a community distro, we all get to speak. The discussion is ongoing. Those opposed to doing opt-out telemetry appear to be winning that conversation thus far.

Also, other distros do telemetry already. Debian is one of them.

This looks phenomenal-looking. That graph widget should be standardized too.

Sandboxing and greater flexibility in using older or conflicting packages/libraries.

I can attest that this also helped me as well. Thank you!

sudo flatpak update -y && sudo dnf update -y

Tux Racer is the OG.

I switched from Bitwarden to using Pass for reasons like this.

I'm no mod, but @ernest could when he gets a chance.

Edit: Pinned.

@s804 consider subbing to /m/linux_gaming

I don't know about that. IBM is traditionally stupid, yeah, but they wanted Red Hat for a reason. The CentOS debacle altogether was Red Hat, not IBM, and I don't think they are doing too much day to day operational mandates for stuff like this. I would not be surprised if this was just a Red Hat thing. I know it's easy to blame IBM, but I don't think it's that simple.

They can't go closed source. They aren't going closed source. It's not allowed under the GPL, so not sure what you mean by this.

Yep, taken in this context, it sounds a lot different.

For all the shit Red Hat has gotten, Fedora Linux is still actually a community base distro.

OpenSUSE is not a fork. It's the base.

Not just Lenovo. ThinkPads.

Same reason why you'd automate anything. It saves you some time if that's what you're trying to do.

You may prefer to give directly, but donations don't typically pay the bills of an open source developer.

If you never touch the command line yeah, but how many of us Fedora users don't do that?

I used Debian full-time eons ago, but last time I tried in 2019, it was a dog of a desktop OS to me compared to Fedora. It works fine as a server, but it's simply not a great desktop.

Well, it is true that Wine actually has better compatibility with some older Windows software.

The problem is, although you may donate lots, historically, open source devs simply can't live off of donations. Big corporate money from Red Hat allows engineers to actually work on open source stuff for a living.

For all that people might hate them for what they do, they provide steady income for a lot of projects.

Done.

Fedora is just flat-out king for desktop IMO. It has packages that are new, but not unstable. Lots of Red Hat engineers use it as a daily driver, so fixes come quick, and it has a pretty large user base. It's made for this stuff.

These links don't work for me.

Got it. Thanks.

I'm guessing older Ryzen systems aren't going to be on the radar though... Too bad. I have a Zen+ machine from 2020 that is just destined to be slower.

Unless you're really inept to not be able to handle adding a repo, and I'd argue that you'd probably have a much harder time with Linux in general, you are not going to have a problem with Fedora Linux.

Just to be clear, this guy isn't speaking for Red Hat. He's just speaking personally.

Right. I'm not seeing how this affects Fedora Linux.

people don't sandbox

Yes they do. Do they all sandbox all things? No. Does it require sandboxing? No. But these are moot points. If you need it, you can have it. These are not available with traditional packages. Whether or not something works properly when sandboxed is sort of a side point, because it simply means that stuff needs to be worked-out. Since when do we have perfect stuff out of the box in FOSS though?

You're holding it to greater standards, IMO.
