(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

I don’t hate them, but this hits hard. They are THE most influential distro for people outside of the community. They have by far the biggest user base and community, but instead of using this to collaborate with other distributions and specially with the freedesktop folks for the improvement of the commons, they have this culture of downstream work that rarely get the effort needed to be upstreamed. It’s usually “it’s good enough for us, so that’s where we’ll leave it”, and they end up with these weird solutions that only they use.

joojmachine,

that’s great, but is it forklift certified?

joojmachine,

This is more than enough of an answer for the people that went “wHy BoThEr?” when this project started.

All of this great work, all of it upstreamed and a big part of it will (hopefully) influence even x86_64 machines if distros, communities and companies start supporting them. speakersafetyd sounds like a godsend for all laptop speakers, the pipewire energy-efficiency work sounds lovely for all laptops, specially more recent Intel ones, with P and E cores.

joojmachine,

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.

joojmachine,

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.

joojmachine,

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.

joojmachine,

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.

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

joojmachine,

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

joojmachine,

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.

joojmachine,

joojmachine,

I know, I’m on the Flatpak side, just appreciate the intention behind snaps (although I quite frankly hate the execution).

Weekly Updates from Fedora's Marketer ‒ Week 1 (ko-fi.com)

Hey guys, I’ve finally started exploring talking about the work I’m doing with the Fedora Project as part of the marketing team and now as part of the design and magazine teams too! I really enjoy the “This Week in” style of weekly reports on all the work that is being done, so I’m looking forwards to sharing it like...

joojmachine,

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.

Linux Audio Nerds, Take Notice — The Fedora Audio Creation SIG is being revived (discussion.fedoraproject.org)

If you use Linux to edit audio, mix songs and work with audio in general, including having trouble making certain audio hardware work, it’s your chance to join a community effort to make Linux audio creation better and more accesible....
