Did I just solve the packaging problem? (please feel free to tell me why I'm wrong)

You know what I just realised? These "universal formats" were created to make it easier for developers to package software for Linux, and there just so happens to be this thing called the Open Build Service by OpenSUSE, which allows you to package for Debian and Ubuntu (deb), Fedora and RHEL (rpm) and SUSE and OpenSUSE (also...

Can we please, in the year of the lord and savior, stop linking to flatkill for once? They have been debunked at least 5 different times at this point, so let me link to a couple of them:

Some of your points aren't bad, just not up to date to what most of the ecosystem has been doing for a while now.

joojmachine OP ,

Nope, I'm not the developer, I just found it really interesting and decided to share

joojmachine OP , (edited )
  • Reason n.1: a stabler distro that doesn't lose when it comes to being up to date, as the equivalent to arch is rawhide
  • Reason n.2: a better, less toxic community
  • Reason n.3: Fedora is community-based, it is sponsored by RH but it does not dictate what the project does
  • Reason n.4: fedora docs is really good (and getting better), the only documentation locked behind a login is RH's, fedora's always been open to read and to contribute

I could keep going.

joojmachine OP ,

They've basically been the biggest partner with Microsoft to try and launch an ARM ecosystem for Windows. The oldest ARM laptops were made by them AFAIK

joojmachine OP ,

all the necessary things are already here on the linux side AFAIK
the only thing left is a stable release of their drivers with support for it, which should come relatively soon

joojmachine OP ,

as a 1050Ti owner (which still is more than enough for my usage), same

joojmachine OP ,

with the recent development in NVK and Nouveau (and futurely Nova), you probably will relatively soon

They are a video creator first and foremost, not a writer for a blog or a magazine. It's like demanding a janitor to make and serve you a meal just because they work in a kitchen.

Fedora Atomic for the win, it's been my one and only ever since I first used it.

joojmachine ,

It used to be one of if not the greatest entry point for new Linux users, nowadays they got too worked up on their beef with GNOME, are trying to do their own thing and it honestly looks kinda pathetic.

joojmachine , (edited )

My comment did sound way more aggressive than I intended, and I apologize for that, but getting this defensive as an answer when the question asked for an opinion definitely isn't any less pathetic. I have a lot of respect on the work of the Pop team, and Pop was the first distro I have used, but none of your points are... good?

  • Gradience fills the need for theming in an individual level for those that want it without breaking the look and feel of apps without the developers' intent at a distribution level;
  • Forge replicates most of Pop's tiling capabilities, picking up the great work your team did over the years without intending to drop it for your own thing;
  • Performance is something that isn't necessarily lacking in other DEs and stable is a bold statement for a product still in alpha. Hopefully it really is whenever it gets a stable release though, I'm not rooting against your work;
  • Also, it isn't hard to say your app store is the fastest when it doesn't have the years of crust other ones gathered from all the work put into it. I would get worried if it wasn't.
joojmachine ,

If they are so misleading and inaccurate, then I'm all ears to why.

Again, I'm not against the project or the team, I just don't like the direction S76 went for their own thing, instead of improving other existing projects. Having a full Rust stack is potentially pretty great though, and I'm all in for what it might become in the future, but this attitude about even the slightest of criticism speaks volumes about the people working on it.

the children yearn for the easily packageable good video editor

joojmachine ,

render farms are a thing for big studios

joojmachine OP ,

They did announce it the same day as their new RHEL AI tools, so they're really just marketing it accordingly ¯_(ツ)_/¯

joojmachine ,

It's power-profiles-daemon. The new version came out a couple of weeks back (and reached stable bascially in the same day as F40 released) with much better performance, as it now detects if your system is running on battery and adapts both the balanced and power saver modes accordingly to save on power, it's pretty great!

joojmachine ,

battery health != battery life

just a small fix, battery life is usually referred for the amount of time you can get out of a single charge, battery health for how long your battery will last over the years maintaining its capacity

joojmachine OP ,

It's probably best to assume that since that funding was provided to be used with a specific focus, they didn't (and/or couldn't) use it for the Foundation's maintenance.

transphobes get fucked 🦀🦀🦀🦀

You won’t be able to just dynamically switch between video adapters.

You will if you use GNOME, at least. It uses switcheroo to provide an easy way to open apps with your discrete GPU through a right click menu.

joojmachine ,

I LOVE these! Great work!

joojmachine ,

The event happened before the name change, we just changed the title and thumbnail of the video to properly name the spins as they currently are.

joojmachine ,

IIRC, yes, it will come starting with Linux 6.8
