Yeah. I don’t know if the ‘follow’ piece does anything useful for anyone.
But as a professional developer, I have found that my GitHub account now prevents me from getting asked FizzBuzz at interviews. So whichever bit is causing that nonsense to stop, I hope they keep.
Hey guys! Trying to understand what developers actually do to create a yet another distro, or what are the differences between existing distros. Lets say we have ubuntu and fedora. What are the differences? Excluding DE, Installer, theme, installed packages/libs and package manager. They both are FHS compliant, both running...
Would it be enough to be able to run .deb packages on fedora?
Unpacking a .deb on Fedora, or unpacking an .rpm on Ubuntu isn’t a big deal. The files inside are often actually identical.
But would not be useful because the files inside usually rely on shared libraries, which may or may not already be installed. Those shared libraries are installed in different places on each Linux distro. Figuring out which ones to ask for (and making sure the program can find them) is the real work that the .Deb or .RPM installers do.
A fun way to try this out is with Portable Apps. Anything called a “portable app” either doesn’t use additional libraries, or carries the libraries it needs with it.
If you find a portable app for Ubunutu, there’s a good chance the Fedora version is an identical file, and works fine on Ubuntu. There’s lots of reasons it might not work, but it can be fun to try.
For the most part, the only reason any Linux program is unavailable on a different version of Linux is that no one has bothered to build the necessary installer for that combination of program and OS.
.RPM was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match .Deb was supposed to solve this by being universal, since any other OS can implement it to match (about 60% actually do). I think Flatpacks and Snaps might solve this by being universal, at some point…

If I’ve learned anything about Jeffries tubes during the holidays, it’s that they probably contain a federation officer who got stuck ‘doing a “Die Hard”’ on some terrosists.
If I had a nickel for every time that happened…well I would have two nickels. But you have to admit, it’s interesting that it happened twice.
(I can’t actually name episodes, but I know I’ve seen this plot at least twice.)
I hope this becomes a recurring gag, for the rest of the run of C&H.
I may memorize the whole series, and quote one line of it at a time around my friends, as an unrequested update on the news from my friend “Cliff Hanger”.
I’m counting on this to finally give me something to contribute to gossip sessions.
“My father deactivated my emotion chip, because he believed that the algorithm was flawed due to its inability to recognize what he called ‘top tier humor’…”
During the Klingon scenes, I just want someone to rush down the corridor with silly string and water balloons filled with neon shades of paint.
I get it, their Klingon society is feudal, and on the brink of even more war. But they could still try letting some natural light in. If nothing else, their plants will live longer.
Oh gosh, I just got the joke in The Orville about the Klingon-equivalent race being extremely light sensitive. I don’t know how I missed that before.
the slaves were treated very badly so when they got the slavers they didn’t give them a very nice time.
I may be reading into it, but I wonder if that’s that generations way of saying they beat the shit out of the slavers before turning them over to the authorities, without admitting to anything specific.
