Have you searched this question online? It’s been asked thousands of times. See Sander Van Vugt’s books and videos. 2nd best thing to the official resources (if not better in some ways).

Finder is crasherific.

Can you use snaps with autofs/NFS yet?

How do you copy/paste to/from xterm?

Like the other commentor- I also tried hard to use wger but it was just too unintuitive. I switched to Liftosaur and love it for making a weight lifting routine easy to design and track:

I did test self hosting it and it’s not too bad, but just switched to my iPad and subscribing for the premium because the auto calculating the plates for each lift saves me a lot of time and I feel good supporting this developer.

‘Best for what?’ is the issue with this never-ending pointless discussion.

RHEL is a fantastic distro… For some things. It’s also a horrible distro… For other things.

I hate them because they make Ubuntu useless for a desktop in an enterprise environment. Snaps have a bug where they will NOT open with a network home directory, which is common for a business … And now they’ve made Firefox snap only.

So for a business environment: you can’t even open the included web browser. WTF?

Do you understand now?

Yup. Got the pop-up about being out of free articles. Opened a browser I never use (with no ad blocker… Cause I never use it) so I got to experience the site with ads.

The entire experience was hilariously ironic to read about service’s enshitification… While being bombarded with constant ad garbage.

Bye bye wired. That was a waste of my time.

The distro you’re using and the model of laptop and a link to the bug/commit would make it easier to answer what you can expect.

Ok I’ll bite. What’s the software you “need”?

Don’t become so concerned with if you could, that you overlook if you should.

I would buy a larger drive.

Snap is that bad when it doesnt work on network home directories, and both firefox and chromium (included in tbe distro) have been moved to snaps… So the included browsers can’t even open.

Don’t know what’s funny about that. It was originally written/tested on the Google Nexus 4.

Edit: dug up a source:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/FAQ#On_which_devices_does_this_Developer_Preview_run.3F

“The initial development at Canonical happened to be on the mobile phones Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 and the tablets Nexus 7 and Nexus 10”

If I install something and it just plain doesn’t work without google play services - it gets immediately uninstalled and I find an alternative.

Thanks for the response. I anticipated “it’s slow” but I guess that just doesn’t bother me because otherwise I dig dnf/rpm over any other combo I’ve tried.

For example - a one liner to identify all packages from a particular repo is trivial with dnf, huge pain with apt.

Ok I’ll bite. What’s so bad about dnf? I would take it anyday over apt.

Is this the new “Arch, btw?”

Seems like a knee jerk reaction to me, but I was using Red Hat Linux 9 (not Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9) in ~2003 when they announced the split to RHEL (paid) and Fedora (community). At the time - I was peeved.

Here we are 20 years later and I just don’t get the feeling any move to encourage/enforce paying on the paid side would greatly impact Fedora.

Now the telemetry thing - I get having a reaction to the headline without context, but I also think they publicly announced it, announced WHY it would be opt-out, explained exactly what would be included (and not) - so if you don’t want it why not just opt out and know that it’s existence clearly helps improve a distro you appear to like?

If you’re using Ansible - disable it there. If you’re a heathen that does everything manually - it’s probably just a checkbox.

In the end - I dont “care” what you use, Linux is great because we all have options, but “rhel licensing change” and “Fedora telemetry” seem like really odd/uninformed reasons to abandon Fedora if you like it.

Cheers either way.

The drama is about Red Hat ENTERPRISE Linux, not about Red Hat Home Desktop Linux.

What was the Fedora licensing change? Are you talking about the RHEL source code now requiring a subscription?
