One thing I have from immutable (atomic) distros, and is how cumbersome is installing apps that require root permissions.

Supposedly you have to use Distrobox. Even that never worked for me. I always have to resort to `rpm-ostree` and then uninstall it so BootC can update the system. Every single time.

#Linux friends! I'm an #Arch user looking for distro recommendations that work well in virtual machines. My experience is mostly with Arch, but I'm finding VMware doesn't officially support it. Are there any distros that offer a similar experience to Arch but work better in VMs? Or are there other accessible virtualization options I should consider? #Accessibility #VirtualMachine #LinuxDistros #ArchLinux #Vmware #tech #technology #blind @mastoblind @main

Okay. We're gonna poke the bear.

We're currently on Windows 10 on all our machines. All our family members use it too. We're not going to upgrade to Windows 11.

We're sure there will be a Windows 12 at some point, with built-in stuff that we don't want and can't easily remove until someone hacks it out.

So, if we were to attempt to make a move to a Linux distro where:

  • we'd get a Windows-like experience (minus the shitty bits)
  • we didn't have to ever use a command line console except for very advanced tasks
  • all our PC games would run
  • we could find Linux compatible versions (or compatibility layers) for decades of WIndows-only software

... where the heck would we even start?

@thomasfuchs I agree with you 100%. That is one of the main reasons I use @Waterfox and @librewolf (sometimes @Vivaldi) over Mozilla.

Most Linux distros have Firefox browser set as default. In my case, I deleted Firefox from my Linux Mint.

Oh, and as well as everyone else says - they should not just get rid of Google as search engine, but as well they should get rid of Google from about:config page.

If you search through about:config , you will find indeed lots of Google connections...wish they removed them all.

For those of you who have been #gnulinux users for a long time, you might remember #DamnSmallLinux . The last official release of DSL was 18 years ago.

There's an attempt to revive the project with #DamnSmallLinux2024. Right now, it's in the "alpha" stage of development and is largely based on the 32 bit version of #antix. It's not as small as it used to be, but the ISO image will fit on a CD disk.

An good post by the @conservancy on the new restrictions imposed by #RedHat that affects related #linuxdistros

"A Comprehensive Analysis of the #GPL Issues With the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (#RHEL) Business Model" sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/ju

Software Freedom ConservancyA Comprehensive Analysis of the GPL Issues With the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Business ModelThis article was originally published primarily as a response to IBM's Red Hat's change to no longer publish complete, corresponding source (CCS) for RHEL and the prior discontinuation of CentOS Linux (which are related events, as described below). We hope that this will serve as a comprehensive document that discusses the history of Red Hat's RHEL business model, the related source code provisioning, and the GPL compliance issues with RHEL.
