#Poll for current and FORMER users of #Fedora:
If you currently daily-drive Fedora, or have done so within the past five years, what was your overall opinion of it as a desktop OS?
I'm asking with an eye to stability for work use, and ease of upgrade (whether or not the twice-a-year upgrades ever break).
I'm thinking of switching my work machine over from Debian, and possibly using Fedora as the OS that I wean my coworker away from windows with.

@rl_dane It's my go to recommendation for linux.
How's the biannual upgrades? Does it ever break?
Do they sell support licenses for small businesses? (I'm guessing not, since that would be RHEL Workstation, which is 1) probably quite expensive, and 2) IBM, Ewww)
Gone fine as far as I can remember, but I was never that big of a fan using the GUI to update. I think know of 1 person who had to reinstall, but I think that was for odd linux driver reasons
2nd question.... no idea. I don't think they do
@rl_dane Fedora does need a couple tweaks to work well.... Swapping out the fedora flatpak repo for the flathub is the main thing.
@daniel @rl_dane I upgrade using only the GUI and it's always gone great for me.
The main thing working against Fedora is that if you're introducing someone to the default Gnome desktop, you'll also have to introduce them to extensions so they can grab either Dash to Dock or Dash to Panel since Fedora keeps Gnome pretty vanilla. But that's more Gnome's problem than Fedora's. I've always heard good things about the KDE spin too.
@OpenComputeDesign @jp @daniel
Yeah, I'm still liking the super lightweight one ("System Activity") that comes on 5.27.
I remember when they rolled out the new "System Monitor," it would make my old computer just freeze up within a few seconds!
Like, this CPU graph is actually _unreadable_, and it doesn't even tell you that the swap space is _full_
@OpenComputeDesign @jp @daniel
I'd use MATE more if it actually looked like 2010-era Gnome 2. 
They've tried to shoehorn in a lot of the terrible UI ideas since then.
I can't remember the specifics, but I recall opening up side-by-side VMs of modern Ubuntu MATE and Ubuntu 10.04 (I think), and 10.04 just looked a lot better, even though some parts were a lot more dated, like the old fashioned start menu (I don't miss that, and I almost never use it in KDE vs just searching, using KRunner, or rofi/fuzzel).
@OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane @jp @daniel there is still nothing better than htop ;)
@sotolf @OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane @jp
Idk... I prefer btop
@daniel @OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane @jp Btop is bloated gen-z bait ADHD overkill :p
@sotolf @OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane @jp
I like me some bloated gen-z bait ADHD overkill
@daniel @sotolf @OpenComputeDesign @jp
Blind hackers trying to read btop:
"WTF IS THIS BRAILLE SAYING?!?!???"
Ok, go ahead and report me to @amin, I deserve it.
@rl_dane @daniel @sotolf @OpenComputeDesign @jp
Worth noting, I used to use btop but have switched back to htop. ;)
@amin @daniel @sotolf @OpenComputeDesign @jp
Also, htop has braille graphs available, too. You just have to hunt through the options.
Not quite as purty as btop, but still extremely useful.
Most of the time, I just use this:
alias s='COLUMNS=999 top -bin 1 |head'
Because how often do you just sit there and watch htop? I almost never do. I just want to know right then and there how the system is doing, and what's eating up the resources, and that alias is perfect for that:
~ $ s

Note: if anyone's saying "why don't you just use top -w999, the answer is that the alias is written to work on Linux and all of the major #BSDs. ;)
@rl_dane @daniel @sotolf @OpenComputeDesign @jp
Top is neat, I used it solely for a while. There are times I'm looking for something more interactive though, or to monitor CPU use over a compilation process, or whatever.
@amin @daniel @sotolf @OpenComputeDesign @jp
I do definitely use htop when I want something interactive. It just has so much more details and is far more easily customizable.
@daniel @OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane @jp No matter what ncdu is best program :)
@sotolf @OpenComputeDesign @rl_dane @jp ncdu is actually great
@rl_dane why not Debian?
I love Debian. But it gets painfully long in the tooth towards the end of the stable release cycle. I used to just jump to testing after stable was out for the year, but the whole xz thing last year scared me off of that.
I have software I can't update because I'd have to compile the compiler in order to get it to compile, because it's so old. I can't remember what exactly, but I think it's written in Nim.
Don't get me wrong, I do not like the software treadmill. It makes no sense, and it doesn't make for a stable infrastructure. But I don't think there's any changing it, and a two-year update cycle for desktop use is becoming untenable.
The other reason why I'm looking outside of Debian is that I want a linux distro that's as easy to use and seamless as possible. I don't have any serious complaints about Debian in that regard, it's actually a lot easier to use in that regard than people give it credit for. But something that's just a little more windows like, I dunno. For example, graphical boot screens and LUKS password screens. Some distros give you a graphical boot from the very beginning, even when asking for the LUKS password. Some distros also show you a boot screen with the manufacturer's logo taken from EFI.
Really stupid little things like that that don't mean a hill of beans to nerds like us, but they have small, measurable psychological effects on new switchers from windows.
And of course, I'll have my coworker running KDE, because what the heck even is Gnome anymore? Some kind of unusably minimalistic Steve Jobs fever dream, that's what. #HotTake
(To be fair, Gnome is real purty. And there's something to be said for minimalism. Just not that much minimalism.)
Fedora, in my eyes, gives best of both worlds. Stability of the distros with release cycle and fresh software versions like you have in rolling distros.
It has been rock solid for me but I felt overwhelmed with number of unneeded packages it installs. Also, for me, compiling my own packages with rpm is hell on earth.
Just curious, why are you compiling your own packages with RPM?
I was :)
In case there was no package available in repositories. I don't use flatpak.
I liked it a good deal, it was my preferred distro for a couple years. Near the end I was using the Fedora Server spin and installing SwayWM on it, though they've released a Sway spin since then.
I've thought about trying their Sway spin, as I am always having weird issues with Sway (not with Sway itself, but the fact that sway isn't a DE and doesn't do weird DE things that weird written-for-DE-applications expect).
If you're wanting stability on Fedora, your best bet is staying on the latter of the two supported releases at any given time; the newest always gets a bit iffy in the first few weeks.
Good to know!
I'm thinking particularly on GNOME where every extension breaks when you upgrade major versions because the devs have to port it every time.
🍵 boosted@rl_dane I really, really love Fedora. I started using the KDE edition with Fedora 40. I've switched to Ultramarine recently, because it just has codecs and drivers available by default. That being said, I had to switch away on my workstation because the nvidia drivers created an unbootable system for me. And both Ultramarine and Nobara live CDs were incredibly unstable.
And I love Debian for the same reason, and moved away from Debian on the desktop for the same reason.
@rl_dane BTW, there are updates every day.
Every. Single. Day.
I like the latest and the greatest, but for a business it would feel excessive. And I can't resist but to run updates every time I'm notified.
@rl_dane I'm actually quite intrigued by Debian 13 coming out this summer. Could be worth trying out, if you're not in a hurry.
Well, I have one other laptop running debian, and a laptop running Debian-based #Armbian, so I'm sure I'll be on Debian 13 at some point.
As far as my work machine, well, I've invested a good chunk of time getting it to work well, and configured the way I like it, so I'm not in a hurry to jump ship to another distro. I technically have until October (thanks, microsnot!) to replace windows on my coworker's machine, so I might wait and see how Debian 13 shapes up. I'm sure it'll be mostly perfect.
I guess I need to come up with a list of pros and cons for staying with Debian. For me, the software starts getting really outdated after a release is a year old. I do wish they'd switch to a yearly release (that'd be perfect, honestly), but I do understand that it's a proper, true community-run effort, and that would about double the workload.
@rl_dane booh
Enchiladas al estilo Nuevo Mexicana con chile colorado casero.
I wanted a tasty traditional lunch so I made red chile and whipped up some New Mexican style enchiladas.

@IPXFong That looks delicious.
@colinpurrington
It was really good! 😋
@IPXFong Client took me to lunch today. Place had breakfast until 4. Had breakfast enchiladas, green.
@prahou I love computers and how they work. It is quite fascinating. However, the ever increasing software technologies is becoming a mess: too many technologies.
Why not have simple HTML, CSS and simple JS in your page with the basic functionalities for example? Why do you install Node, and then two kinds of databases, filled with this for API, that for the same API, but different, plus one android application, or two...
This is just an example. The same goes in the low level realm.
Why have this monstrous "AI" models that eats electricity, computer power, billions of dollars, etc? For what? To generate images mocking whoever the current mainstream puppet is or anime girls with massive b**bs?
So, to me, this rephrases as: I’m frustrated by the extent to which computers are being used for foolish purposes.

Te ha faltado lo de que nos apunten con una pistola. Y es que sin eso no es creíble que yo esté en un bar.
@fanta Tal y como está el mundo, copazo de Carlos III para olvidar. Duque de Alba igual mejor, aunque me toque las pelotas la nobleza y la monarquía... 
@fanta Si hiciesen la Frixen sin azúcar...
@soydelbierzo creo que llevaba poco. Era stevia (la frixen cola de Zaragoza)
@fanta la estevia la metieron para reducir el azúcar un 20%.
Aún así sigue sin ser amigable con los diabéticos.
@fanta no bebo cocacolas desde hace casi 30 años ya, y no puedo estar más contento.
Mi opción verdadera habría sido agua.
Simplemente agüíta, que es lo que más bebo, pero como no estaba esa opción, un zumo de tomate me va perfe.
Y si hubieses puesto zumo de piña, pues de piña.
@fanta Mecca-Cola
@fanta ¿Y el agua? ¿Puedo elegir hidratarme?
@cucufaiter si, por ser tú.
@fanta que fantasía el poder tomar una horxatita maravillosa

Ok, fixed the issue with code rendering: Markdown.pl doesn't support ```so I had to implement a workaround, but it's ok now.
The example page is now showing the themes in a correct way: https://bssg.dragas.net/example
En Exojuego no vemos justificación alguna para que en España la Switch 2 cueste un 52% más que en Japón.
@gnemmi Esperemos que bajen pronto el precio, porque creo que en este caso las quejas son más que cuando el caso de la 3DS que bajaron el precio a los 6 meses.
El distribuidor, al igual que todos, tiene cuentas que pagar.
Tener el stock apilado lo hace perder dinero .. y "nadie" puede sostener un negocio que va a perdida ..
Ok, maybe I should wait a bit, but I feel like giving a little preview, incomplete...
I’ll make a proper post to announce it when ready, but you can already take a look at the themes 🙂
Pictures are random from picsum and will change at reload
The code hasn't been released, yet. I need to fix some things.
@stefano well now, this is just amazing.
secondarily, loving this theme: https://bssg.dragas.net/example/web1/
@winterschon thank you! There are some things to be fixed, yet, but this is more or less the project
The theme are so awesome!!
Thank you Stefano!!
@gnemmi there are some rendering issues, but it was working. It's a small modification I did this morning, but I'll fix it
@justine eheh thanks! I'm planning to release it soon, maybe early next week
@stefano Congrats, Stefano! This looks great, really great and I wish it would be already weekend so I would have some time. 😎 Will definitely try this out!
@Linkshaender thank! I hope to be able to fix some bugs and release it early next week
Congrats on the project mate!!! I will try for sure.
I really like this one: https://bssg.dragas.net/example/minimal/

Nos encontramos este gato ayer en el bloque de vecinos de la avenida Pablo neruda 96, lo llevamos al veterinario y no le ha pasado nada, tampoco tenía chip. Creemos que se cayó de una casa, está gordito, tiene collar y es muy cariñoso. Si podéis pasar las fotos y el mensajito porfavor para ver si encontramos a sus dueños.

Mientras encontramos a sus dueños necesitamos una casa de acogida, la que lo está cuidando es alérgica

Happy #AprilFools day to all who celebrate
Officially taking 3 weeks off for mental health reasons.
My therapist recommended that due to outbursts of joyful tears at the news of Le Pen being condemned.
@ParadeGrotesque Does this "taking time off" include opening bottles of Champagne?
lol
Don't. Make. Me.
I had a couple of fun April Fools ideas for decoded.legal a few months ago, but I decided against them.
Reality is weird enough at the moment that it is hard to satirise things, and we don’t need more misinformation.
@neil Is Neil's April Fool's joke...that he's not doing an April Fool's joke? 🤯 Or is this the set up to some elaborate plan? 😛

I don't have anything cute or clever to say on Trans Day of Visibility, but nor do I want it to pass without recognising it.
I am delighted to interact with so many trans, enby, and agender people here.
I would like to congratulate France for imprisoning an embezzler who just happens to be a leading political figure.
Other countries should take note of how it's done.
Also of interest: Nicolas Sarkozy, former President, will go through his second, corruption related, trial soon.
He already got condemned in his first and now has to wear an ankle bracelet. The 2nd trial may well send him to prison for real.
Today there is a lot of sun and the first hints of spring in the air. Lovely Monday morning overall... 😁

In our room, there were four of us – friends, classmates. That evening, the last one, we had planned to meet in our room at midnight, in preparation for the journey the next day. No cell phones, roaming charges were outrageous, and we were used to managing without them. We couldn't leave the hotel, but inside we’d meet other friends and just hang out together.
One of us and I left the room and went towards the room of some other friends. On the way, we bumped into a group of Spanish boys and girls. We’d seen them earlier. They asked us (in Spanish – they didn’t speak English, but Italians and Spaniards can understand each other) if we wanted to join them at a party in their friends' room. We thought for a moment and decided to follow them.
There were about fifteen people. They welcomed us with the typical Spanish warmth – friendly and hospitable. As soon as they found out we were Italian, they immediately asked us to sing Eros Ramazzotti’s songs with them. Then we saw a big pot and they hinted they were making sangria. As soon as it was ready, they offered us some. I’ve never been much of a drinker, so I mostly accepted to not offend them.
We started singing together. They got the Italian lyrics of Eros Ramazzotti wrong, and we messed up the Spanish lyrics of Hijo de la luna, but it didn’t matter: the laughter, the fun, the carefree moments in a shabby Greek hotel room with a group of Spaniards we had just met. Two girls were especially friendly, trying to speak some sort of pseudo-Italian with us. We understood a bit, guessed the rest, and had a good laugh.
We returned to our room at 5 a.m. The girls, by the way, had rooms next door to ours. Our roommates were worried at first, then shocked, when they saw us come back at 5 with these girls, who gave us an innocent kiss goodbye and went to their room. That night, for the first time in my life, I felt free. I had been myself, sharing wonderful moments with people I had just met and would never see again. Out of my world, out of my comfort zone, away from what others expected of me. That night, I understood what I wanted to be, how I wanted to live, what living truly means. I’ll never forget that night for the feelings I experienced, for the first time. That night laid the foundation for who I am today.
We exchanged phone numbers with everyone in the group for a few text messages, promising to keep in touch. A promise we all knew we wouldn’t keep, except maybe a few days after returning home just to say we made it back.
