  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    I've never seen an infographic for "I use arch, btw." until now.

    oh come on. I don't ever say it outside of meme contexts. I just personally enjoy rolling releases and don't really like the corporate feeling of Fedora, so i'm left with only really Arch as a good option.

    [–] selfmate@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

    Opensuse can also be rolling. And that is european!

    Or, as honourably mentioned, OpenSuSE, specifically tumbleweed.

    Just lighthearted poking, I don't have anything bad to say about anyone's choices. I didn't mean any offense. Sorry if that was its tone.

    No, no don't worry, no offense taken πŸ˜… I should have expected it lol

    Fedora is corporate? I nearly spat my coffee ;-)

    I'm flashing back to working with suse on unitedlinux and the challenges we had. If you want a very Corporate distro, it's right there.

    Never again.

    [–] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    I mean.. fedora is RHEL, which is very corporate

    [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    I'm getting tired of dispelling this myth, and I don't even use either πŸ™„

    Do people even read? RHEL is downstream from Fedora. They're both forks of Red Hat, but Red Hat β‰  RHEL.

    Does this need to be on a billboard or something?

    [–] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    Sorry. It's still corporate, since it's coming from red hat. Thanks for telling me though.

    [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    It's not "coming from" Red Hat, Fedora is forked from it originally but is directly downstream from the linux kernel, there's no Red Hat involved between the Linux Foundation and the Fedora devs.

    In fact, there's no more Red Hat at all, there's only RHEL, which is downstream from Fedora.

    Fedora is not downstream from Red Hat. I don't know how to put that in any plainer terms...

    [–] Mistiygirl@lemmy.zip 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

    I see. Have a nice day. I still won't use Fedora.

    [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

    You certainly don't have to, and I don't use it either. I'm simply telling you that it's not downstream from RHEL, which seems to be a common misconception

    Other way around mostly...

    Fedora trys stuff first.

    Funny that it's not a rolling distro, yet it is often ahead of my cachyos box. It's astounding how fast fedora puts stuff out yet never any effort on my part to manage it. Unlike cachy or even arch.

    Fedora is the most corporate not-actually-corporate distro
