Why does nobody here ever recommend Fedora to noobs?

I have tried Linux as a DD on and off for years but about a year ago I decided to commit to it no matter the cost. First with Mint, then Ubuntu and a few others sprinkled in briefly. Both are “mainstream” “beginner friendly” distros, right? I don’t want anything too advanced, right?...

dino,

Fedora has no selling point at all besides being similar to RHEL.

dino,

lol? are you trolling?

Being the first distro on which new technologies are introduced

Also atomic branch? SELinux might be a fair point, but I doubt that ss unique to Fedora tbh.

dino,

How does that contradict what I wrote? I even mentioned RHEL…

dino,

I am not sure I understand what you mean by:

Consider checking up on where Wayland, systemd, PipeWire, PulseAudio etc first appeared; so on which particular distro. Are you referring to use those packages as default? Afaik Fedora OS is not even rolling release, so I cannot fathom how it has packages earlier than the typical bleeding-edge candidates. Fedora Atomic Why are you mixing Fedora Atomic with the regular Fedora Distro? It’s also the most mature attempt. Derivatives like Bazzite are the product of this endeavour. From the OG distros, only openSUSE (with its Aeon) has released an attempt. However, it seems to be less ambitious in scope and vision. …how is something like this objectively valid? I understand you like Fedora, but you make claims without any proof or just pure opinion based.

dino,

systemd, dbus, and polkitd. If any one of those components are misconfigured, you risk an unauthorized user gaining root privileges.

Just for my own understanding, if any of those are misconfigured, do you not anyway have a big security problem already, regardless of run0?

dino,

This is taking way too long.

dino,

No.

dino,

I mean…all this and much more is part of the wireguard archwiki. And whoever wants to setup a wireguard server but doesn’t know what ping is… Interesting would be an example on how to use tcpdump and how to read it.

dino,

I just glimpsed over the other comments, I also use both Mullvad VPN and tumbleweed. I switched to systemd-resolvd and got it working at some point, but its a big hassle and I also had strange problems when trying it for the first time. I could try to look into my configuration on the weekend.

dino,

Or “why would you?”

dino, (edited )

Changing from arch to fedora was mostly based on his ties with Red Hat. I am still waiting here for ANY REASON for a private person to chose ANYTHING from red hat, without having ties with them. Their documentation is horrid and mostly hidden behind some kind of login bullshit.

Edit: Also the take on KDE “being” bloated. It misses the point. KDE has so many moving cogs that it gets quite hard to fix issues you come across. That is why its “bloated”. Nobody is complaining about working features which are useful. But if some window rules are bugging out, good luck fixing that on KDE.

dino,

Care to elaborate? What have games to do with window decorations?

dino,

Exactly, native games are dead anyway? :P

dino,

not enough upvotes

dino,

This bug is so old and tbh its a big f*** y** for KDE developement or whoever is responsible for this shitshow called SDDM. Its the reason my desktop pc is running LDM for multiple years now, since I stumbled over this.

But yeah, we need more KDE specific tools tralalala, instead of a working login manager.

dino,

But you next, please.

dino,

Not written in rust, yuck! 😆

dino,

care to elaborate why? aka give some details on the advantages of superfile? for how long did you use nnn?

dino,

the hero we need

dino,

Uhm both displaying copy/move process and having shortcuts for “favourite” dirs is quite possible with nnn. Although for the later I mostly use -S argument for persistent session.

The only drawback of nnn in my book is the kind of weird/cumbersome way to configure it eith ENV variables. And the non-existent preview image display under wayland.

Can somebody explain in essence what the difference between kakoune and helix bindings are? Edit: What I found so far helix-editor.com/?ref=medevel.comgithub.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/2138

dino,

Mhm interesting, compared to helix it also seems to be available in the debian repositories. But what I don’t like is the similar approach as of vim/nvim where you have to configure everything yourself, instead of delivering a wholesome experience with sane defaults like helix editor does. Thanks anyway.

dino,

I also use Debian Testing as a work computer. But I am used to more bleeding edge distros. So if somebody strives for rock solidness, I think default debian stable is even a better choice.

dino,

what is a regular desktop non-workstation??

dino,

Not sure about the alias part but definetly give fuzzel a try as a wayland launcher.

dino,

yayja, real nice and elegant tiling window manager for people which are fed up with tedious configuration and manual tiling of e.g. i3wm. Really want to test it for gaming at some point.

dino,

Biggest gripe with cmus are are the hotkeys, its totally unintuitive and frustrating if you don’t use it daily and everywhere. Additional small gripe: no album covers, but thats with most terminal players.

dino,

What is the appeal, I understand fb2k was the shit back in the days. But nowadays I want a music player with elegant defaults instead of customization?

dino,

That sounds like an excuse to waste lifetime. A good UI should be what makes or breaks an audio player. If I have to enter text queries to play songs this might work after I configured a script which handles all the shit I want to do OR the UI is in itself easy to use so I don’t need to go to that length.

dino,

Sane defaults, thank you.

dino,

I mean we are using Exchange email accounts at work with thunderbird, would be really lol if emails just get “lost”. But yea for sure a problem of Thunderbird. No user nor microsoft problem… ;>

dino,

Its the best distro for gaming. Valve is using it, rolling distro.

dino,

nala

dino,

Kali?

dino,

Thanks for the link, so whats left is to have a proper rollback/snapshot feature. I know there are snapper integrations with btrfs for void. But they are not on par with e.g. Opensuse Tumbleweed.

dino,

Why play the old iterations? Is there a reason? I think the newer ones are more “beginner friendly”? With training modes and such.

dino,

More upvotes needed.

dino,

Windows.

Work supposed to be done on the machine would be interesting.

dino,

The suggestions made here are already spot on and I can just support the suggestion to use the least amount of extra repos as possible. Packman is the only one I’d consider, also check your repos regularly and see if you can make sense which is what, otherwise get rid of the ones where you have no clue why you had them in the first place (obviously check first which packages they install).

dino,

I am long-time Tumbleweed user and it really boggles my mind how something like this goes past “quality control” and “testing”.

dino,

Not sure what you are saying?

dino,

Best pw manager.

The truth about linux having 15% market share in India.

I am from india. These numbers are inflated due to our population and government and health sector office pc using linux (ubuntu). These office pcs just require a chrome browser and all the work is done on the browser Nobody here cares what os they use in their office pc. I don’t see anyone here switching to linux on their...

dino,

they just use their phone because pc hardware is expensive and phones prices are cheap.

Lol, this is so wrong and misleading. Like the whole post. Even for 350 dollars you could buy a used laptop which probably is more able to properly browse/word process than any of your smartphones.

dino,

You work in IT but you distinguish between desktop systems and laptops? Why?

dino,

For text processing? Okay, checks out.

dino,

Yes, and I place the smartphone on my smartphoneholder glasses so I can actually see what I am typing on my bluetooth keyboard… oyoyoyoyoy

dino,

By SFF you are talking small form factor? To my knowledge there is only one big player in this field which is Intel NUC and I am not even sure THEY have business support. Thats a big argument for laptops, because you get proper business support compared to niche products like SFF devices.

But maybe I completely missed your point.

dino,

When the description of a program on gh gives you more headache…I think its not doing a good job.
