I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in Linux, FOSS, and several other subjects.

Fedora with KDE

Advantages:

  • Most software has a version for it, this is not the case for e.g. OpenSUSE. The software is also usually quite new (unlike Debian).
  • You can boot into older system versions if an update failed so you’re never stuck with a broken system.
  • It doesn’t push snaps down your throat unlike Ubuntu and comes with Flatpak by default.
  • A very customizable interface that is quite similar to Windows 7/10 by default with tons of useful features.
  • Not a point release like Debian that requires a certain level of manual migration to upgrade to a newer version.

Downsides:

  • Slightly less popular than Debian-based distro’s and thus has less info on it online.
  • Rolling release so you will have to update very often.

Linux Mint is mentioned a lot in this thread, but it’s one of the few distro’s I’ve never used before so I won’t advise in favor of it.

Quick question, did you use Wayland or Xorg/X11? Nvidia drivers + KDE + Wayland is a combination that is known to cause issues.

Konsole

qaz,

Why did you license your comment?

You can get a cheap domain (~8 digit .xyz is 0.80$/y) and use cloudflare tunnels. You won’t have to expose your home network and the setup is really easy. You will be dependent on Cloudflare but I feel they’re fairly reliable.

  1. Create a cloudflare account
  2. Buy a .xyz domain (on for example Namecheap) consisting of only digits, it should cost less than a dollar a year of you have the right amount of digits.
  3. Set your domain to the Cloudflare DNS server. (You can find instructions on Cloudflare for this).
  4. Go to zero trust and create a tunnel. This allows you to share traffic from your local device on your domain in the next step. (It shows instructions on how to install it on your server)
  5. Add public hostname and create a subdomain for jellyfish and point it to localhost:JELLYFIN_PORT.

Note: You can also do this for other services you host but I recommend using a VPN to connect to your device / home network instead because it does not require exposing it to the internet.

Done

qaz,

They’re already on it

qaz,

That’s a good point. I wasn’t really sure where to put the cutoff point nor how to define it. Another problem is what consists as anti-OSS behavior. Is anti-right-to-repair part of it?

I created it less than an hour ago. If you have any other suggestions please share (or send a pull request).

EDIT: The list contains 3 companies now

FSF defines anything that’s not copyleft as hostile. That’s most companies. I personally don’t think I can tell my users what to do with my software other than remove my liability so I vehemently disagree with Stallman.

I’m not planning on counting that as hostile behavior. Organizations can choose a license for their software (and I can choose not to buy/use it). This collection is mostly focused on companies that hurt existing Open Source software. Such as sending a cease and desist to an unofficial plugin/extension or closing down software that was originally open source.

One of the most common Minecraft server implementations called Paper MC consists of 321k lines of code (mostly Java and a little bit of Kotlin).
