That’s unrelated to this.

Fedora MATE or LxQt

I mean, Linux is not American than Finnish at this point.

But yeah, it still was born in Finland :)

To be fair chrome is an option on Fedora as well

So does mine. I installed Fedora on an old, 4GB laptop connected to a monitor for her to watch Netflix and TV on her bed. We literally reused a laptop from 2013, an old 900p monitor and a VGA cable + a cheap, poor quality Amazon speaker I was not using at all. I’m really happy with how everything turned out.

I mean, it could be possible that the box of the mouse said something like kernel 2.6+. Considering that is older than 2011, OP’s answer was absolutely spot on.

Is NixOS the new Arch?

Full of system76’s bias…

Such a shame. The best distro out there being hurt by these decisions…

He likes Ubuntu because he’s familiar with it, plain and simple. He dislikes Arch because of the toxic trolls there, and dislikes Fedora for… undisclosed reasons…

Your talking about “restoring back what was lost” seems to be missing one key point: why was it lost, and why is it good to restore it? It was lost because it meant a company, the company, the one who was investing the most in improving the ecosystem, found out that this model let other companies compete with them by offering support while freeloading on their efforts. That’s stealing in my world. Stealing in a perfectly legal way. That was OK, but was not good. They found out that, with the Stream model (which, BTW, offers more support timeframe than what whatever its competitors did) let them keep having a free solution for some people that might need/want it, while still keeping some of their competitive advantage. And what’s more, they even accepted happily Alma’s decision to work with Stream as their upstream to build their own RHEL clone with the full 10 years of support and pushing for changes/patches that might be needed. Notice I’m not saying if it’s OK to restore it. I’m not, because it’s perfectly legal. But it’s certainly not good. The RHEL ecosystem is in much better shape now, and what Alma did was fantastic and, IMO, the way to go.

I see. In case of issues with new hardware, one can always pick Mesa/the Kernel from Experimental. That’s the beauty of APT, you can mix different branches.

I mean, those delays were huge. Debian’s longhorn. Whereas Fedora was pumping releases in a stable cadence, Debian was stuck in there. If it weren’t for that, probably Ubuntu wouldn’t bave existed.

I believe you’re confusing the freeze period with the stable releases one.

It always did, though. Just unofficially.

That’s a clear answer, thanks! How long does the freeze period last? 6 months prior de next big release?

They need to grow their economies.

I think we’ve come to the realization that AI will take a lot of jobs. That’s the unfortunate truth.
