outliving all of the variables

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.

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

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.

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

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

Tux Racer is the OG.

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.

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

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

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

Not just Lenovo. ThinkPads.

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.

@s804 consider subbing to /m/linux_gaming

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

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.

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

Edit: Pinned.

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

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.

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

Done.

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

@NegativeLookBehind I'm now subbed, and I've added this to the Linux-related magazines here. Please consider adding content perhaps threads about tips and beginner stuff.

@Mr_Figtree and @Mane25 consider subbing to the /m/GNOME magazine.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

These links don't work for me.

Got it. Thanks.

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