vhalragnarok,

There will not be a Linus 2, but rather there will be a peaceful transfer of “power”.

Linus is not the Benevolent Dictator For Life of the Linux Kernel.

Linus has already stepped away from developing the Kernel. He did this after an incident to work on his professionalism & mannerisms towards people. Kernel development did not stop. Linus does not approve and merge every patch into the Kernel.

Rather it is more likely that the Lead Maintainer/Developer changes to Greg Kroah-Hartmon, and the project does not skip a beat.

Rest assured with something as important as the Linux Kernel: development will keep going.

I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

vhalragnarok,

For me it’s (outside of the usual stack):

github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper (Input-Remapper, if you have annoying proprietary thing you want to re-bind this is an amazing way to handle that)

This project made Linux viable for me, and I have not looked back at all.

vhalragnarok,

Fedora is like it or not one of the most influential and important Distros out there.

Fedora is and will always be cutting edge. They early adopt projects and technologies that absolutely become the standard.

No other distro has this much influence. SystemD, Pipe wire, and other such projects are the norm because Fedora pushed it.

And like it or not, Fedora will make this move very soon with Wayland. Wayland is our inevitable future, like it or not.

I don’t see Arch, Debian, and others pushing things like this, but rather falling in line with Fedora.

vhalragnarok,

OpenSuse has a very well defined pipeline:

Tumbleweed -> Leap (maybe Slowroll) -> SLE.

OpenSuse is not going to break new ground. It’s all about OBS and testing software before it hits their Paid Enterprise offerings. And they have almost a fully automated procedure for this. OpenSuse is not going to push Wayland only nor what will become the standard. It’s not in their ethos. OpenSuse is there to build SLE’s next release.

Debian being cutting edge?! Never. Debian is Debian, very slow to adopt anything. Debian is about offering a very stable release schedule. Debian will never push the ecosystem forward, it’s not Debian’s goal. You want a reliable system that just works? Debian is inarguably the king.

Distro Picking

Hi! You may be sick of these posts by now, but I have been having a very hard time selecting between three distros; that being OpenSUSE, Fedora, and Linux Mint. I have tried linux in the past, I did debian with cinnamon and ran into some issues, so I ended up sheepishly reinstalling windows and getting AME10. I want to give it...

vhalragnarok,

Try WebCord. Either it’s in your Repos or grab the Flatpak for it. WebCord for me has been nothing short of reliable.
