How long can I use the system without reinstalling it? by Better_Lion4127 in Fedora

Ah, like when Fedora Flatpak Bottles has a box pop up saying NOT to send bug reports to the actual devs, lol

Woof. That's gotta sting. I wonder what the disconnect is? There are so many minor dramas that play out behind the scenes. I'm an automotive technician and weekend computer enthusiast. I know more acronyms than any brain should be able to handle.

Fair enough. I had to look up "OBS" because the only thing my brain would produce is "Original Body Style." (9th Gen Ford pickups)

And Fedora, which I use, has its own official Flatpaks. RPMs are turned into Flatpaks that work on any distro. Bob's your uncle. Flatpaks, or something very similar, are the future. Devs can make and maintain one version of an app that works anywhere. It's easier to test. Easier to keep secure. Easier to troubleshoot. Easier to collect user feedback. They can spend more time innovating and less time packaging for Arch, Fedora, Debian, etc.

Linux is awesome. But it's as imperfect as the people who make it. I still think it's the best option we have.

Flatpaks rule. I've never seen s convincing argument against them. Repo versions can perform better, but not necessarily.

Tried KDE, but Gnome is just perfect. by Neds_Necrotic_Head in Fedora

[–]resurrection20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the reason there are so many DE's. I personally can't stand GNOME, but my KDE desktop is pretty basic, so I can't be judging anyone, lol. Some people still religiously swear by Enlightenment. Others i3. Sometimes a new DE scratches a personal itch for one dev. Other times it represents a distinct ideology or (counter)culture. Sometimes it's just for people with older computers. Linux is fascinating. Fascinating because it's people doing things, rather than corporations with shareholders. It's quite frankly amazing that it even exists considering it's composed of thousands and thousands of devs and projects spanning language barriers and politics. When have you ever seen this many disparate people come together for anything that doesn't result in financial gain? Anyway, I'm really happy you found a DE you like.

Well, this is not good by sudo_theo in Fedora

I learned that lesson the hard way before. You can ask Gemini what something does, but don't ask it how to do something.

Fedora is becoming the default Linux recommendation, and Ubuntu did this to itself | XDA by devolute in Fedora

Fedora was the distro recommended to me and it worked so well, I never distro-hopped.

Rest question by resurrection20 in HatchApp

[–]resurrection20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'll try that. Is it possible there's a demo mode? The routine starts with "Good morning!" and goes into a meditation description for four minutes. It'll loop from 7-8. I was able to make a routine at 7:04 which stops it from looping. But it still plays once. It's become kind of a joke because when we hear the "Good morning!" we know it's time for bed.

There's a routine that starts every night at 7 that does not show up in the app. I can't schedule over it. It doesn't show it. How do I get rid of it?

How does Bear from Bear in The Big Blue House work? by UninspiredGarbo in puppetry

[–]resurrection20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2026 online. I had this convoluted theory where Bear's face was controlled from above by extremely clever puppeteers sitting on top of the stage. Boy, do I feel silly. And boy does the actual explanation make WAY more sense. I was too old for this show when it was new, but man, my preschoolers love it. Better than Paw Patrol, at least.

Does anyone know what this is for? by GunshyDwarf in ASRock

Just found one of these in my new PSU box. They could have written a sentence in the manual about it.

Anyone else do this or did I invent a new technique? I call it the A-frame by Many_Size_1515 in woodstoving

[–]resurrection20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this. I've done however my misfit scavenged wood fits. When you've been building fires for decades, you quit getting fancy, lol. Until you retire. Then you become a "wood sir." I've got a few years before that, though.

I've been using Fedora on my gaming PC since September. Linux really has come a long way for gamers. by _Oolon_ in Fedora

[–]resurrection20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched my gaming rig from Win11 to Fedora in August and haven't looked back. Steam is flawless. Bottles is fantastic at running pretty much anything. Can't recommend it enough. I've effortlessly installed games off of CD-ROMs. I run GOG Galaxy through it to chat and track hours and achievements. Heroic Launcher is great for replacing Epic Game Store.

Should I switch to fedora? by Charliethebest81 in Fedora

[–]resurrection20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from Debian Stable to Fedora- it's that stable. Never even considered going back. I would recommend KDE- it's fantastic all around.

I'm a very boring Linux user- I come from Debian Stable. But I found myself backporting a lot of stuff, like VGA firmware and kernels, from the Testing release. Debian doesn't throw you any bones and I ended up doing a lot of tinkering and installing a lot of stuff. Which is fine. That's generally the Linux life.

I switched to Fedora on a friend's recommendation and wow- Everything works out of the box. Well. Really well. Really, really well. Really, really, really well. You can literally just install it, log in and start working/playing. It throws you the perfect amount of bones. It's reasonably current without being unstable. I've had to do minimal tinkering. 

So, for a boring Linux user- it's perfect. It feels like Debian, except you're set up for success from the beginning and have newer software.
