The rolling release thing isn't for me, but I get why that model might appeal. Brave, though? Why?

Damn, not sure I'm a fan of any of this. I left Arch because I didn't want to be on Rolling release any more, and really liked what Nobara was offering for the out of the box experience.

Brave is super sketchy, and not sure about putting in yet another thing to handle updates (replacing plasma-discover and gnome-software).

I'm wondering if its worth forking it to remove some of these changes.

can't we make them publicly account for their decision to choose an anti LGBTQ+ browser?

[-] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 2 points 14 hours ago

Rather more of a crpyto bro shit browser with lack of privacy implementations and bad history. No different than Apple saying they love Privacy

Brave? Yeah...nope

First I hear about them, and since Brave is the default browser I know I don't want to know more. Smooth!

Stares in Debian Testing/Sid.

At least they disable the monetization features of Brave but making stupid Google Meet such a hard requirement to compromise of all ethics? WTF?

The partial unannounced update broke my installation, which is why I finally ditched Nobara for Bluefin

[-] vikingtons@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

well, at least they provided some rationale for switching browsers. still, it's good thing we have bazzite.

Don't know about brave, but rolling release is much better

Does the rolling release model mean Nobara is based on Fedora Rawhide now?

Edit: I found the answer from the developer on Reddit.

the VERSION updates are rolling. (N41->N42->N43+)

nothing is changing in the update process. we still do a monthly snapshot of fedora and provide that to users. we are -not- using rawhide.

the "rolling" simply means when its time to go 42->43 you'll receive those updates as standard package updates without needing to do any specific commands/changes.

I'll definitely uninstall brave but it makes sense why they chose it. People crying over it are being dumb. Hopefully when Firefox fixes its crashing issue it can go back to the default.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
