Linux gives you freedom.
Freedom lets you break stuff.
If, like Windows or MacOSyou just use it as intended by official support, it should be fine. If you start just adding everything and anything from anyone you’re gonna break stuff.
Other stuff is made to be idiot proof, Linux is not.

Think I’m still on keepassxc but looking to change. Bitwarden is looking good.
Do you selfhost?
Morons are everywhere, be prepared. Occasionally I’m one of them.
Best bet at the moment is to look for a sub about dogs, or even just animals, as opposed to hoping for a vibrant labradoodle community. Or cars, instead of The Honda Civic Users Club.
The entirety of Lemmy & Kbin is around that of a medium sized subreddit at the moment.
I’ve decided to ditched the subscription option, it feels largely pointless for me aside from expressing support at the moment. The whole thing can be managed as one would a subreddit using the local/all/hot/new/timescale/active options, the text search and alerts system.
Yeah, issue with uploading pretty much all images. Occasionally it does work.
Is fine on other instances.
I looked at a few instances a week or two ago and decided on fmhy as they seemed, by name, prepped for Reddit users. I then subscribed to a lot of communities often on other instances or kbin. I’ve found that my local feed is not what I want, lots of piracy & porn, and my subscribed feed has a lot of repetition as a lot of communities are cross posting stuff. Also uploading media seems broken.
I’ve created an account on a smaller instance with a local feed that is fairly quiet, inoffensive and a little more niche, which makes for a pleasant homepage. Switching to the ‘All’ feed gives a nice overview of the lemmy & kbin world.
I think I’m gonna avoid the subscribe button for a while and watch, post, comment & vote instead. The entirety of lemmy & kbin is about the size of a medium subreddit at the moment. I think the ‘All’ feed with some sorting options alongside the search and alert system may be a better way to navigate the current landscape than subscribing to 1234 communities with liberal use of copy & paste.

Easier to keep track of everything they are wrong about and factor that in.

If what I hear it’s true than once a NixOS user is up and running adding additional packages and up-streaming them appears to be a fairly simple process.
Something like Arch has ~10,000 packages in the main repo and the AUR has ~70,000 packages. It’s hard to get something into the Arch repo, very easy to get something into the AUR. NixOS seems like it may be a middle ground where by the time someone can grok the system they should only be a step or two away from contributing to it.
I’m still clinging on to my samsung s10e and hope to get another year or so out of it…after that I think I’m just gonna bite the bullet and get a dongle dac.
I’m sure it’s a factor. I don’t use Nix but from what I gather the easiest way to run a package is often to add it, and upstream are pretty accepting. The number isn’t that wild if you compare it to something like Arch+AUR. Also Nix wants to do it all and replace stuff like pyp and other native package managers, I think pyp alone is responsible for >5000 nixpkgs.
If you are counting different versions then it’s hundreds of thousands…and I think you can mix and match them.
Yes, consider popping in an ssd in place of the hdd if you have a few more pennies to spare.
Is that not what the article covers?
RHEL customers can request the source code, they cannot distribute it. If you are a RHEL customer with a license agreement, just ask. I don’t think they will be sending corporate customer requests via microfiche in the post in 30 working days. Where it was once easy for anyone to get RHEL’s source code, going forward it will be a service only for customers who agree to be bound by an IBM legal agreement upon receipt of code or access to the tree.
CentOS was very useful, so they bought it, let it spread and then killed it abruptly. They have since watched Oracle, Alma & Rocky offer solutions to CentOS withdrawal, make decade long promises to their customers and get comfortable before breaking the whole eco-system of decade long ‘binary compatibility with RHEL’ systems.
No.
But Arch supports around 14,000 packages and any branch of Nix has around 100,000 stable and 100,000 unstable packages.
It think it’s more for RH/IBM to test new stuff on the community as opposed to something like Debian or Gentoo that actually has a fairly clear community commitment.
I don’t recall a lot community polling and discussion when they moved to systemd, btrfs or wayland.

slskd is a game changer for me. I have it running 24/7 on my pi but should run on pretty much anything.
