Any idea how it’d look if broken down into distros? I’m assuming enterprise support would be favoured so Red Hat or Ubuntu would dominate?

I’m not convinced that immutable distros are beginner friendly yet.

About the same time VPN platforms started migrating away from it

Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!

I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.

The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the removed to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I’m really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.

Some right wingers are upset that in some European countries there are consequences for posting death threats on Twitter

Not necessarily. An insurrection might overthrow the maintainers before they can push the release

There have been so many announcements that a release candidate of a release will be coming out /soon/. It’s utterly pointless non-news.

Please can this drivel be banished.

Wait until 3.0.0 is actually released and then post it for discussion.

Doesn’t Lemmy support cross posting?

I considered implementing Lemmy comments and theorised I’d post to my own community/instance so I had full moderation control, then cross post that to all the relevant communities.

Anything is better than minetest which sounded like a hastily written debugging mod for Minecraft

I had the same issue so wrote this down when I figured it out

Generate ultimate key

gpg2 --quick-generate-key hello@example.com ed25519 default 0 

Add sub key

gpg2 --quick-add-key <FINGERPRINT> ed25519

List keys in long format

gpg2 --list-keys --with-subkey-fingerprint --keyid-format long 

This data is already public. You can just create a kbin account and see who’s voting. Anyone wanting to scrape it already can, the only difference proposed is the Lemmy client showing it.

Is that your experience with the OS or cosmic?

Honestly, it’s not as important. These projects are working with very limited resources, typically dependent on free labour. Accessibility is incredibly hard to get right and half arsing it isn’t going to work. The priority should be pushing out a reliable, working prototype that people want to use. Once that’s accomplished you can refocus on expanding the features.

Demand for reliable multi monitor support is going to be far higher than screen reading capabilities.

A few IDEs already provide some help with YAML. Rider will tell you if you’ve screwed up the YAML for a GitHub Actions workflow, and possibly docker-compose as well

Simple: typically US based healthcare companies know how bribe and corrupt politicians, whereas typically EU based train firms don’t

How regularly do you really need them? Surely by the time you come to reinstall an OS there’s already a later version available, doesn’t it just make sense to create a fresh USB each time?

For example about a month ago I installed Project Bluefin on a couple of devices so that USB is lying around somewhere. But in the meantime the maintainers have rotated the update signing keys so that month old installer is now redundant.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to store stuff on the phone…

Isn’t it just far easier to transfer documents using one of the thousands of cloud apps though? Since Dropbox and such became a thing I’ve not had a use for USBs. If it’s privacy that concerns you then you already mentioned self hosted services and I’m sure there’s a few Dropbox clones among them.

There’s not much point in survival PDFs unless you’re also carrying a laptop to view them on.

If you really do want to go full apocalypse prepper then track down an archive of Wikipedia and various how-to websites.

The reason you’re struggling to think of anything to put on it is because you don’t need to be carrying a USB drive.

No aircraft cabin crew have ever put out a call asking if there are any Linux sysadmin onboard with a copy of GParted Live v1.5.0 for 32bit ARM devices .

What are your issues with Fedora? I’d really recommend giving one or more of the universal blue OSs ago regardless as they’re pretty far from native Silverblue. Project Bluefin for instance has a solidly Ubuntu feel.

edit: reading your responses elsewhere I can guarantee you won’t have the same update/reliability issues you had with Fedora because the universal blue model is entirely different
