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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

€1100 with the current F39 release discount and €1000 with the extra €100 discount for Fedora contributors

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.

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 (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/…/2507)
