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.

Thanks for the heads-up! It's not meant to be a list of official communities. Just a list of magazines that exist. Nothing stopping kbin users from wanting to use it, and do their own thing locally.

No, I mean Red Hat engineers. Despite being a wholly-owned subsidiary of IBM, they are separate orgs. This probably doesn't mean anything to you, because you are mad at Red Hat, but that doesn't mean that the decisions made were done by IBM's executives, and most IBM engineers probably aren't running Fedora Linux.

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.

Right. This is the only right answer when it comes to a compromise between developers and users.

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

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.

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

Perhaps elementary OS. Although it feels like its dying somewhat.

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.

Too soon to talk specifics, friends, but rest assured we can see the path. All is not lost—not even close. Thanks for your patience.

 

For those making use of the current Linux 6.3 stable series, Linux 6.3.9 is out today and it's particularly important if you make use of the open-source NVIDIA 'Nouveau' kernel graphics driver.

 

Distrobox is the open-source project for quickly and easily firing up other Linux distributions as containers on your desktop

 

And it only took 21 hours. Linux 6.4 has a bug where it hangs on boot, but probably only 1 in 1000 boots (and rarer if using Intel hardware for some reason). It’s surprising to me that no one…

 

Today I talk about the future of Xorg and Wayland.

 

Actually, the better question is: When will they replace most desktop Linux programs?

 

Valve released a new stable Steam Client update that that enables hardware acceleration on Linux and brings an overhauled user interface.
