I’ve been here a week ago already asking if Arch would be fine for a laptop used for university, as stability is a notable factor in that and I’m already using EndeavourOS at home, but now I’m curious about something else too - what about Arch vs NixOS?...
This is my experience as well. I went back to Arch after trying NixOS for a few weeks. I just ended up spending way too much time tinkering with the system instead of using it. Also, I feel like a major advantage to nixos is only viable if you have multiple machines. I only have a main desktop.
Why would this be a good thing at all? One of the main goals of the ecosystem is to have multiple choices, and as others in this thread has mentioned, Fedoras made significant progress for the adoption of Linux as a whole
I still don’t see how having the choice is a bad thing. If you don’t like Red Hats position, then don’t use Fedora. For those that believe using Fedora will help better the Open Source ecosystem, they have the ability to do so.
Getting rid of a choice completely because you don’t agree with a position in a nuanced conversation seems childish
I also agree with this move. Keeping Open Source projects funded and sustainable is a hard thing to do. IMO they’re still keeping with the Open Source principles
I’m considering building a new machine soon and was looking at the Intel Arc GPUs as a possibility. Anyone have experience using them in their system? I’m on Arch btw
Appreciate it. It sounds like with the new announcement they’re putting quite a bit of support behind it so I’m optimistic improvements are made quickly
Thanks for this. I’m on 1440p so hopefully the performance will be a bit better. The A770 seems like it has great price to performance though, making it one of the top spots on my list.
I’m also trying to figure out how to not lift the day before my long runs. I usually do Saturday long runs, lift Friday and speed work Thursdays. I might try to lift light Thursdays and see how that goes
Congrats on the kid! I’ve also heard to lift first due to risk of injury. It makes sense to me - there’s a higher chance of acute injuries during heavy squats or deadlifts if I’m fatigued and get sloppy on form
What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it....
Yeah I believe the primary problem (from the community) is that the telemetry was proposed to be default opt-out. Meaning the default choice is opted in.
I’m in this camp as well - I personally don’t think that the Fedora distro will see much of an impact. From what I can tell, it’s still in their best interest to ensure that Fedora receives the community support that it always has. That said, like I mentioned in the OP, I get why they made this move for the company.
We’ll just have to wait and see whether their Fedora support will continue. The great thing about Linux is the choice, though. So if there ever comes a time where Fedora’s no longer pro consumer, there’s always Arch and Debian.

I’m curious if the decline in Mac gaming is due to the launch of GPTK. I know a few people using it on their Mac - does it count as Windows or Linux instead of MacOS?
