@ickplant i wonder if they are also afraid that something will grab their leg.

And now I’m on fedora 39 kinoite because I like the immutable image-based features such as being able to build my own images in the cloud and being able to roll back to any previous version if something messes up in an upgrade. And also I have more control over what software is installed on the host system because it’s all written in my Dockerfile so if I want to uninstall something and all of its dependencies, I’m just gonna remove it from the Dockerfile.

My first installed Linux distro was Ubuntu 5.10. I started experimenting with Linux because my neighbour at the time said good things about Linux. He used windows himself but he also heard good things about Linux and spread the word in curiousity. Eventually I was the one of us who made the jump.

Android has great backwards compatibility.
Targeting above that level isn’t too much to ask.

@possiblylinux127 Fedora FTW 🙏

@irreticent Ah. Had to press on the link in the title 😄

@irreticent I can’t see the image

@possiblylinux127
And then enterprise Linux on your home desktop?

@possiblylinux127
What do you mean with other way around?

@Shareni alma started to take sources from centos stream. so yeah upstream in a way.

@GnomeComedy ansible sounds cool. i don’t know anything about it, but it seems like this is a bit of the same as i’m doing with Dockerfiles for my Fedora Kinoite. building my own custom OS image with github actions and then every 3rd day the new image gets pulled by my pc from the cloud.

@mfat and with Distrobox containers.

@Shareni
With bootleg RHELs you mean Alma and Rocky?

@Pantherina
There is a free subscription for RHEL for individuals.

And I think it’s less of an issue nowadays with old packages since we have extra layers such as podman containers over distrobox, flatpak, snap, Nix etc.
Then you can have a solid base OS with less solid layers on top where things are allowed to break but don’t mess with the rest of the system. I use Fedora Kinoite as my base for this exact reason.

@ulterno
Haha. Typo. I meant cmake 😂

Ah i see. I think Alma has KDE available

@ulterno
For which cases did you need cake for example?

My base OS is Fedora Kinoite and I’m considering have AlmaLinux in a podman container for some applications and tools. Replacing it every year because fedora is eol is too often in my opinion.

Hasn’t Kate been replaced by an upgraded Kwrite or is Kate still maintained?

@zenharbinger
Okay cool. I don’t game so for me that’s not a problem neither if games don’t work.

@fne8w2ah @K1nsey6 How?

@AnActOfCreation @TheEighthDoctor Oh damn. Didn’t know he got a job at Google 😂

@AnActOfCreation With magisk you can hide root but not sure if it works for RCS?
