Share your favorite Linux Desktop Environment
  • I'm not huge into customising desktop environments, so when I've tried window managers like i3, I typically only get it functional to my likings and then realise how boring I am compared to how others use it.

    So typically I use gnome or kde, but I like cinnamon and xfce as well. I don't really have a favourite, they're all good. At the minute I am trying to adopt wayland and have been using gnome while I do that.

  • LXD is now under Canonical
  • I do that with lxd, but I have written ansible playbooks (almost like dockerfile? ) to automate the lxd containers. You could probably write some automation for scaling as well, but not something I've done, I have just opted for high availability with ceph & keepalived. Whatever works for your use case :) I do use some docker, but this is still nested inside lxd..

  • Ubuntu trying to install snap AND Firefox even though I have removed them a year back
  • I'm hearing and feeling the bad vibes towards Ubuntu, but they've not done anything to totally ruffle my feathers just yet. I went full Ubuntu with about 10 servers and 2 desktops. I don't mind snaps, but my senses are heightened after the red hat shebackle, so considered a next move in case Ubuntu disappoints me with these enterprise decisions. I'm happy to accept an immutable distro like they have planned, but with snaps being proprietary what would that make the distro? Hmm. Do I need to reconsider snaps?

    I heard canonical took lxd in house, however I thought it was canonical anyway, and i use lxd a lot, so I'm concerned there's a play they are going to make.. If the red hat thing never happened, I'd probably not have had much concern, but... Red hat thing did happen, and so did reddit. Anyway, hopefully it's just a little paranoia from recent events. 😬

  • Rocky wants to continue getting RHEL sources via public cloud instances and/or via UBI container images
  • I agree, I think it would have been better if Rhel just came clean with the real facts instead of pussy footing around it. I am on board with keeping open source open, but if Rocky is undercutting rhel for support with basically a red hat product, it changes the dynamic a lot.

    Also, if Rocky is doing this, then it will be rocky's fault that this clone system falls apart. Alma I believe is not for profit 1:1 and far more ethical.
