TIL GPL is a proprietary licence

AFAIK no distro forces you to reboot, but they all require it for some updates to take effect. You can't reload the kernel while the system is running.

Fedora just makes that clearer to the user by only installing those updates when they're going to be active - after a reboot. I think it also blocks new system updates until the current set is completely finished.

You can disable offline updates in the system settings, but I think they're a good idea, especially for the average user.

How is the rust replacement?

fd > find. It's a lot faster, and I find the syntax to be better.

If you don't do anything crazy, it will be stable, exactly like any other distro

Tell me you haven't used a stable distro without telling me you haven't used a stable distro.

Do you know why Debian, a stable distro, releases noncritical updates every ~2 years? Because they test their packages and make sure grub doesn't release a faulty update and leave your machine in an unbootable state.

Ever heard of Mojang?

Regarding Vivaldi: Why isn’t Vivaldi browser open-source?

To save anyone else from losing time on this bullshit:

They're scared of their FOSS fork being forked. The rest of the article is just an attempt to make them sympathetic, and muddy the waters. That's why GPL > BSD

A new project based on our code might implement features that are fundamentally in opposition to our ethics (e.g., damaging to privacy, human rights or to the environment). Even though we would not be associated with the project in any way, it can deeply affect how people see Vivaldi (and how we see ourselves), damaging a reputation we have taken pains to earn.

Fuck off

  1. Endeavour is just Arch with an installation wizard and a pretty theme.

  2. Definitely don't use nix or guix as an OS if you're making posts like this. They're great as a supplementary package manager, but extremely difficult and convoluted as an OS.

  3. I've recently switched from Arch to Nobara after running it for a few years. It's really nice being able to update without the fear of something breaking. I'm just using flatpak and guix for the few packages that are missing from the repos, no AUR needed.

  4. Install i3 on top of whatever DE you want, don't look for a specific spin. It's really useful to have tools for stuff like power management. Also, when you break something, you've got a backup.

IDK about KDE, but Nobara gnome has Wayland and xorg entries in the login manager.

Btw Fedora is removing x11 support, so that's going to be fun for everyone who's having issues with Wayland.

I3 is a hybrid wm, there's a shortcut to change between vertical and horizontal splits.

I find that approach much better than having to cycle through a bunch of presets to get a configuration I want.

On top of that tabbing/stacking tiles is amazing for keeping everything organised in more complex configurations.
