Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

joojmachine,

You pretty much described Fedora. Non-LTS stable 6-month release cycle with 1 year of support for each release.

joojmachine,

It seems like a lot of the folk here could be pretty interested in the revival of the Fedora Audio Creation Special Interest Group, as it could become a real powerhouse when it comes to getting more people involved into music creation with Linux.

joojmachine,

Yes, and now, due to the work we’ve (and other distros) done on it, it’s finally going to be upstreamed.

joojmachine, (edited )

And it’s thanks to the work of those people that it has finally made it upstream, specially Fedora’s Martin Stránský (who has been doing tons of work on Firefox, including making Fedora the first distro to ship Firefox with VA-API enabled by default).

joojmachine,

Updated the link, hopefully it works now. Weirdly enough I was sure the original link I shared didn’t require it

joojmachine,

When it reaches stable (or the release you use, if you go the Beta or Nightly route), yeah you’ll be able to do so.

New Fedora Slimbook 14" joins the Fedora Slimbook 16" - Fedora Magazine (fedoramagazine.org)

We heard your feedback during the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16 and, along with the folks from Slimbook, bring you the new Fedora Slimbook 14, a smaller, lighter, cheaper with even better battery life, version of the Fedora Slimbook, powered by an Intel CPU and GPU (unfortunetely no AMD version soon).

joojmachine,

Yeah, they could do a better job by having a big button directing people to buy it at the website, but if you go to the “Buy” option in the top bar you’ll find it among all of their other offerings.

€1100 with the current F39 release discount and €1000 with the extra €100 discount for Fedora contributors

joojmachine,

Umm, check Lenovo, they are our partners at Fedora as well and have decently priced Fedora-preinstalled hardware as well. The thing with smaller companies is that they have smaller reserves and less stock than the tech giants like DELL or Lenovo.

joojmachine,

The only extensions I use are for things that will likely get added as native in the future: Light Style for the light shell theme and Caffeine (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/…/2507)

joojmachine,

It’s almost like some people don’t represent an entire project’s idea, or almost like people don’t have to double down on their mistakes and can go back on them if they realize it’s better, or almost like the world isn’t a war to see who’s right.

Insane, right?

joojmachine,

It’s a partnership for those that really want the distro branding and that want to see part of the money spent going back to fund FOSS development (as 3% of the sales goes to the GNOME Foundation). For those that don’t, it’s basically just a Slimbook Executive 16.

joojmachine,

makes sense, whatever works best for you, in the end it’s great to have more options in the market

How Ubuntu Linux snuck into high-end Dell laptops (and why it's called 'Project Sputnik') (www.zdnet.com)

Today, the Dell XPS-13 with Ubuntu Linux is easily the most well-known Linux laptop. Many users, especially developers – including Linus Torvalds – love it. As Torvalds recently said, “Normally, I wouldn’t name names, but I’m making an exception for the XPS 13 just because I liked it so much that I also ended up buying...

joojmachine,

If you want it to stop being a standard, help your distro do a better job at marketing. Ubuntu is one of the few that do some actual market research and dedicate resources to getting the OS into the hands of people by getting them interested in it. It’s one of the things we are looking forwards to doing better in Fedora.

joojmachine,

linux users when a laptop that ships Linux isn’t absolutely perfect and cost $20 (they don’t care that it helps get linux to average users)

joojmachine,

and yet people still find ways to complain when a manufacturer that is twice as big as all of these examples combined ships laptops with linux to the hands of millions of people, most of the time costing less than offerings by these companies

joojmachine,

including, checks notes, ah yes… most of DELL’s other offerings with linux pre-installed

joojmachine,

They patch GNOME to maintain the look and feel similar to Unity, which became their signature look.

joojmachine,

Is it something that depends on the region? In Brazil their Linux offerings are usually way cheaper precisely because you can forgo the Windows license.

joojmachine,

Not to mention it’s being discussed as a feature for the desktop itself and being designed for 2 years now, way before KDE and elementary started implementing it: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/…/1401

joojmachine,

I mean, it can serve as an announcement (maybe?), since the 2nd edition of the event has just been announced: creativefreedomsummit.com

joojmachine,

Umm, it was though? The event was both streamed there and uploaded there first and foremost, we’re now putting our efforts into uploading and maintaining our YouTube channel as another point of contact for the project.

peertube.linuxrocks.online/c/…/videos

joojmachine,

Hate to be the type of person to comment this, but patches more than welcome

for real though, even a small contribution to the docs helps a ton

joojmachine,

neither, it uses bubblewrap, snap is the one that uses apparmor

joojmachine,

Anyone even slightly interested in this, join!

Seriously, I didn’t know jack about SELinux before joining the SIG and now I know a little less than jack about it (I tried confining my user and managed to be unable to login to my system)

joojmachine,

You can just take a look at the links in the thread if you want to start testing, and can help report issues with your experiences in our Pagure repo, I still need to report mine to mnow if it’s a thing with GDM or if I just did something wrong

joojmachine,

ITT a lot of people who don’t read anything but the title

joojmachine,

Touch grass or look into the thing before spreading FUD

joojmachine,

Although most of the praise in the article actually goes to the improvements in GNOME, it’s always great to see Linux getting high praise on more “mainstream” news sources. ZDNet is more techy than normal, but still reaches a wider audience than Linux-specific articles.

joojmachine,

It’s literally just a proposal. Nothing has been set in stone and nothing has been developed yet. Again, please, look into the thing.
