Yes probably agree on PopOS, even though never used it. Also their DE will need a lot of time, I hipenthey dont ship it too early. I dual boot it, actually the Fedora Atomic image.

Yes, Silverblue is the GNOME Atomic desktop but as I said it is not finished. There are many things not done.

https://gitlab.com/fedora/ostree/sig/-/issues

Fedora simply takes what KDE offers, and the whole VRR etc. additions seem to cause tons of bugs.

Already reported, not sure how helpful.

But being the first to implement KDE releases... is problematic.

Poorly it introduced multiple crashes this session... error reports already sent, btw I dont think downloading debug symbols works on Fedora Kinoite?

What about just, written in Rust?

That is already used in many projects.

Maybe GNOME got more stable... but the non LTS kernels often cause issues, and KDE is currently unstable again (while it worked perfectly on Plasma 6.0)

I find it pretty problematic how Ubuntu is messed up and still used as default distro.

Fedora has issues with always being a bit early. I prefer it a lot over buggy Kubuntu, as I use KDE, but for example now 6.1 is too early and still has bugs, while Plasma 6 was really well tested (with Rawhide, Kinoite beta and Kinoite nightly being available)

Fedora has tons of variants and packages, and COPR is full of stuff. The forums are nice, Discourse is a great tool.

It uses Flatpak, but adds its legally restricted repo by default.

The traditional variants... I think apt is better. I did one dnf system upgrade to F40 and it was pretty messy.

The rpm-ostree atomic desktops are really good, but not complete. For example GRUB is simply not updated at all. This is hopefully fixed with F41.

Or the NVIDIA stuff, or nonfree codecs, which are all issues even more on atomic.

So the product is not really ready to use, while rpmfusion sync issues happen multiple times a year. This is no issue on the atomic variants, but there you need to layer many packages, which causes very slow updates.

I am also not a fan of their "GUI only" way, so you will for example never have useful common CLI tools on the atomic variants, for no reason.

It is pretty completely vanilla, which is very nice.

Came over night on Fedora Kinoite.

Quite like it, everything is rooound. In Dolphin with the right-click select I can now make a circle!

But why are the lower window borders still square? And that is with Qt/KDE apps!

There's: https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.gitlab.YaLTeR.VideoTrimmer

This has an empty ffmpeg folder but no binary. Same with bottles, guiscrcpy, celluloid, newsflash, interstellar, digikam, haruna, krdc, obs studio,

But searching for "ffmpeg" I found io.github.aandrew_me.ytdn

It has the ffmpeg binary included.

Many projects use libffmpeg.so dont know if that could be used too.

I got a bunch of weird bugs with Distrobox in the beginning

Honestly never had issues. I now use an Arch distrobox too, but I dont really need Distrobox anyways. The Arch repos are too small.

There is a COPR for RStudio-copr-manager and the entire CRAN module list as RPMs. Otherwise you have a hard time getting the R plugins you may need to your distro.

QGis needs some python integration which seems to be missing on Arch too.

With the COPR I know who to trust, unlike the AUR, even though I now also setup yay.

Everything nearly separated from my OS using the different distrobox homedirs which work flawlessly.

Also distrobox upgrade --all works awesome its just a wrapper but really valuable.

I make an exception for Anki and MakeMKV.

I have no idea because I install everything from unverified. Should learn how to swap remotes, then I could swap all the verified apps and when removing the unverified can check what I still use.

But unverified Flatpaks may be way better than distro packages. At least it is very transparent on Github (yeah, sucks) unlike strange distro build systems.

I kind of hate Debian and Ubuntu's userpsace :)

What, GNU utils? What makes it special, apart from apt? They have nala so that is dealt with.

DNF5 will definitely shake things up. Because rpm-ostree is going away to be replaced by dnf again.

Yeah this will be crazy. dnf has a lot more commands for querying etc, that will be useful.

It also sounded like they would reinvent the wheel a bit? Dont know

Ubuntu may have convinced some proprietary developers, but Snaps are shit and devs know that I think

Shrink the main NTFS storage partition of Windows.

This will be empty space.

Install into empty space.

Never used Ubuntus installer but Fedoras installer should work fine. Just dont delete anything

Sorry I overthink it. Just the general impression was... kinda random?

Like many tracks in important moments were not memorable at all.

It also seems to poke a hole in all Flatpak apps, giving them access to GTK3 themes.

Thanks, maybe it is not even possible? Should ask GNOME devs...

Watched Episode 7 yesterday.

That was from 2015??? Nearly 10 years ago, which is completely crazy.

Really interesting how it is newer than Episode 3, but uses all of the Episode 4-6 style.

The music sucks, but the visuals are very nice. I love how they made the Lightsabers and Guns so much more realistic.

I remember episode 8 or 9? Where literally every scene was stolen from Clone Wars. That was a bit lame.

Also crazy how their cast is still 80% male. I always wonder if people would be shocked if it was 80% female...

You use Jitsi meet, their free service, to watch movies???

You can use OBS to do that, it looks like a lot but it is the best tool for that. Dont know if it has some ffplay/MPV plugin to internally play videos but I think so

Plan in a session each day and be next to her, just watching her.

That would be what helps me most, planning in a timespan and then having someone look at me to not fuck it up

So they gonna give me an NVIDIA card if I use Wayland? Nice!

Note that I dont recommend Ubuntu as they got pretty shitty. They theme the desktop environment GNOME a lot, and everybody hates their Snap package system. Instead I highly recommend Fedora, which is a less opinionated distro.

I also dont recommend dual booting with Windows, as you should never update Windows again, which is a security risk. The updater often removes the Linux bootloader and you need to unbreak that.

You removed Windows. Not sure why Ubuntu is slow, but that may be because of snaps.

The internet issue may also be just because of missing drivers.

Please test if it works on a live USB or SD (I guess, never used an SD Card) before.

And yes, Windows installer is notorious for removing Linux, so install Windows again, then inside of Windows use their shitty partition manager and shrink the big storage partition, then install Linux in there

Windows can wipe everything on its own
