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.

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.

anders,

@t0mri I have both. and i use both in different situations. depends on the specific document.

What non-FOSS software have you been unable to quit?

For me, Google video search, Google books (Internet Archive is good, but doesn’t always have the same stuff), Adobe InDesign (but in the process of learning LaTeX), and Typewise. As for the Google stuff, I liked Whoogle a lot, but almost all their instances seem to have been blocked or shut down. Also, apologies if this is...

anders,

@hedge typewise seems cool

anders, to linux

Enterprise Linux on desktop?

Anyone using enterprise Linux on their desktop such as RHEL, Alma, Rocky, CentOS etc.?

I'm curious if it's easy to use for this purpose or if the older packages are a pain.

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

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Hasn't Kate been replaced by an upgraded Kwrite or is Kate still maintained?

anders,

@ulterno
Haha. Typo. I meant cmake 😂

Ah i see. I think Alma has KDE available

@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.

@Shareni
With bootleg RHELs you mean Alma and Rocky?

anders,

@mfat and with Distrobox containers.

anders,

@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.

anders,

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

anders,

@possiblylinux127
What do you mean with other way around?

anders,

@possiblylinux127
And then enterprise Linux on your home desktop?

anders,

@possiblylinux127 Fedora FTW 🙏

anders,

@nachtigall interesting. a whole OS written in ASM :D
