While I’m not the average person, my kids have never known anything but Linux or ChromeOS (because school). They game on SteamOS/Bazzite, they use a Linux laptop at home, and they use Android devices. Everything they use, somewhere inside deep down, is powered by Linux.
Red Hat sponsors Fedora’s development and use it as an upstream source for RHEL. They also own the trademark for Fedora’s branding.
However, the project is run by elected leadership and all development is largely done by volunteers (some of which work for Red Hat). It’s not a “corporate distro” like people believe. It’s somewhere between Ubuntu and Debian.
Red Hat I get, but why Fedora? Other than getting some of its funding and open source code from RHEL, it’s largely unrelated projects.
Given that it’s banned, if they get caught, it’d be punishable.
You can usually spot AI writing. It’s wordy, fluffy bullshit.
OpenSUSE used to use yum and then briefly dnf. Zypper is fairly recent in the last several years.
There is nothing wrong with using your distro’s app center. Often it will save you extra steps by updating things like Flatpaks as well, if you use them (or Snaps, if you’re an insane person).
Yum was used on way more than Yellow Dog Linux. CentOS, Fedora, RHEL, etc all did
AFAIK they’re only targeting their flagship models first. Guess we’ll see, but I don’t think the Moto G series will get it. At least not initially.
They use LetsEncrypt. There is literally a bot you can install to automate the renewal process daily on a cron schedule and notify you if it fails.
They’re just fucking morons managing the infra for their domain.
Maybe if they whip the overworked employees more before they lay them off 6 weeks after launch, it’ll come out fully optimized and fleshed out this time. Hasn’t worked any of the thousands of times before, but by golly maybe it will this time.
There was an app called axolotl that worked with Signal on Linux phones, like UBPorts, but it has been unmaintained for a long time and no longer works.
Yeah but you agree to those warranty terms at purchase. The commenter earlier was bitching about how Framework wouldn’t warranty something OUT of warranty. They bought a device with a warranty period, it died outside that warranty period, and now Framework shouldn’t be expected to fix it for free.
It was out of warranty. That’s how warranties work.
It sucks that it died earlier than expected, but they can’t stay solvent just letting people get replacement parts outside of warranty for free.
Congrats on the Thinkpad. I look forward to your next post on /c/unixsocks.
Cal Kestis…I have to fight the Empire, but I’ve got force powers and a sweet laser sword. Worth it.
Yeah but it sucks
I really want to move away from Android to straight Linux phone, but some applications like, Signal Messenger, don’t have a non-Android or iOS version.
Google really wants to fuck up AOSP development and are actively hostile these days to the project. If they could easily make Android closed source tomorrow, they would.
Absolutely, although Mr. Rogers would be in the “liked” tense, sadly. He was too good for this world.
How’s that vibe coding going Microslop?
