But Oracle? How are they better in any way? RedHat still writes FOSS software. Oracle just profited off it being easy for RHEL customers to migrate to Oracle Linux. They do add on top of RHEL, but they could built a distro themselves too.
This article reads to me like satire from Oracle.
PS: I don’t like what RH done either.
Trying sth new is never a bad idea. From live cd’s, over vm’s or distrobox containers, it makes you more comfortable in switching between environments.
If it works, don’t switch distros. There’s always an OS which does sth. better.
Waylock, because it keeps sway locked even if the screen locker crashes.
Agreed. I would have like Ubuntu to come with flatpak, but snap exists for longer than flatpak and has additional use cases. Snap allows to do app packaging and even the rest of the system. Fedora uses rpm-ostree + flatpak instead.
Yes, it’s good that they make money with such services. Services like hosting are a great way.
Snaps are used for Ubuntu’s IOT distro, and also for their upcoming immutable desktop. They even ship kernel and mesa as snap, which makes updating less likely to break a system (in case of a crash while updating, user error, …).
That’s why they push snap. Canonical doesn’t mainly aim to make a apps available to all distros like flatpak does. Just like now where all distros need their own packages, snap will coexist with other package formats.
For the user it’s unimportant how apps are installed, as long as they’re available.
It really depends on the hardware. With 144Hz vsync isn’t much of an issue for me, but 60Hz is noticeably worse with vsync on.
RedHat already has no-cost RHEL licenses. The disadvantage is that it’s necessary to create a developer account, and one account only supports 16 devices.
It is an immutable distro, altough it isn’t image-based like Fedora’s rpm-ostree.
NixOS basically replaces Ansible because the Nix package manager achieves the same goals already (configuration, deployment, …).
But I agree, the work necessary to put into this non-standard distro makes it hard to recommend for a casual user.
I did use it more than half a year ago for a few math problems. It was partly to help me getting started and to find out how well it’d go.
ChatGPT was better than I’d thought and was enough to help me find an actually correct solution. But I also noticed that the results got worse and worse to the point of being actual garbage (as it’d have been expected to be).
