I mean, there’s always another option beyond W11, if you catch my drift

*loud penguin noises*

It used to be one of if not the greatest entry point for new Linux users, nowadays they got too worked up on their beef with GNOME, are trying to do their own thing and it honestly looks kinda pathetic.

As someone who’s an active user and contributor to Fedora: words cannot express enough how much I hate US laws.

It’s the reason we can’t ship with H.264 hardware decoding out of the box, it’s the reason why we can’t provide access to our project and our community to sanctioned countries (Cuba being one that really hurts me, but mainly Iran right now, which makes me really sad because I’m having to answer people from Iran almost weekly asking on how they can be a part of the project with “unfortunately you can’t”).

I dream of a day where Fedora’s trademark changed to the hands of a non-profit foundation outside of the US.

Seriously, I’m impressed on just how much influence Linux has in India, not only as an OS, but as a community. I’m in charge of some of the Fedora social media accounts and it really impressed me at first how India is consistently one the top 3 countries our followers are from in all of them.

They really are, but still leagues behind the features (and online learning material) compared to Resolve. I love both of them, but still, when I need to get to work with video, I still prefer to deal with Resolve’s limitations than to deal with Kdenlive or Shotcut.

I’m really suspicious of those numbers, seeing the sudden drop in macOS and Chrome OS, but I’m hoping so much that those are accurate. Things are slowly but surely getting better.

It really depends, but some tools would really do that. DaVinci Resolve, for example, has a pretty bad Linux distribution support and format, all things considered, and it’s still the go-to video editor for Linux users, despite all of the issues.

Your loss, it’s a great distribution and if you spent even a couple of minutes in our forums you’d see that the RedHat pull is due to them actually collaborating and being and active part in the community.

You pretty much described Fedora. Non-LTS stable 6-month release cycle with 1 year of support for each release.

It seems like a lot of the folk here could be pretty interested in the revival of the Fedora Audio Creation Special Interest Group, as it could become a real powerhouse when it comes to getting more people involved into music creation with Linux.

Yes, and now, due to the work we’ve (and other distros) done on it, it’s finally going to be upstreamed.

When it reaches stable (or the release you use, if you go the Beta or Nightly route), yeah you’ll be able to do so.

Umm, check Lenovo, they are our partners at Fedora as well and have decently priced Fedora-preinstalled hardware as well. The thing with smaller companies is that they have smaller reserves and less stock than the tech giants like DELL or Lenovo.

Updated the link, hopefully it works now. Weirdly enough I was sure the original link I shared didn’t require it

And it’s thanks to the work of those people that it has finally made it upstream, specially Fedora’s Martin Stránský (who has been doing tons of work on Firefox, including making Fedora the first distro to ship Firefox with VA-API enabled by default).

Yeah, they could do a better job by having a big button directing people to buy it at the website, but if you go to the “Buy” option in the top bar you’ll find it among all of their other offerings.

The only extensions I use are for things that will likely get added as native in the future: Light Style for the light shell theme and Caffeine (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2507)

It’s almost like some people don’t represent an entire project’s idea, or almost like people don’t have to double down on their mistakes and can go back on them if they realize it’s better, or almost like the world isn’t a war to see who’s right.

Insane, right?

makes sense, whatever works best for you, in the end it’s great to have more options in the market
