Yeah I know. ☹️

Yeah but I haven’t found any information saying they provided any services or anything to them so …

Fedora is RedHat. RedHat is IBM.

IBM is supporting Israel and the IDF in their genocide.

Use OpenSUSE.

They could call it Eunux!

Oh…

Holy shit.

This will never not be sci fi to me lol

The retro futurism of the 80’s was the best

Get outta here, Doug Demuro! Go back to YouTube!

You mean like the 1985 Subaru XT Coupe? God I love that cassette futurism look!

Some nerd running Gentoo on his car. Has to recompile everything every time he has an oil change.

You should get the Pantheon desktop environment for a more Mac like experience.

It’s got a touch interface more than anything else. I think this change came around the same time as Windows 8 when they went for a more touch screen-y experience.

I gave an original Surface Pro tablet and I use Ubuntu’s Gnome on it. It’s perfect for tablets I find. Not so great for desktop PCs.

Budgie has great potential. I really love the look and feel. And I especially love the side bar. I feel that’s a feature that’s missing in KDE.

Budgie however isn’t “there” yet. I’ve experienced quite a few bugs using it and it’s still missing a few features. But it’s getting there. It might become my go to one day.

I have mine look and work almost as exactly as Windows 10, which I really love in terms of UI/UX. It’s the most easiest and fastest desktop interface I’ve ever used so far.

I have a tiled app menu and I even changed the window decorations to look like Windows 10. I hate rounded corners. It’s such a waste of screen space.

That’s what I’d be using too. But it felt too incomplete and buggy. It’s not there yet, but it’s very promising.

Is anyone using BSD as a desktop by the way? Ive only been focusing on Linux.

I wonder what they’ll call it. Will they keep the “Linux” name?

Linux is the kernel, the core of the system.

A distribution is a collection of software that is provided with the kernel, usually with it’s own software package management system. Distributions are also supported and maintained by organizations which create their own tools for that distribution and also make decisions on what to distribute it with.

For example, Fedora is maintained and supported by the company RedHat which implemented their own tools and packaging system to use Linux. Debian is the same but with a community.

Desktop environments are that it says. You have several available in Linux. The two major ones being KDE and GNOME. They provide a desktop experience with their own paradigms. Just like the MacOS and Windows have their own desktop environments. They’re basically graphical shells to allow users to use the system.

The sandboxing isn’t as much as, say, Docker containers. So I think access to memory and devices is still possible and can eventually get you access to the whole system. I would think.

And this isn’t limited to flatpaks but I would assume Snaps as well, which some software is now delivered in that format by Canonical, even for server software.

That’s interesting. I’ll have to look deeper into that

Yeah but OP has a point regarding the libraries with known vulnerabilities. What if one of them gets exploited that allows remote malicious code execution and gives root access? I dunno how far the sandboxing goes in that regard.
