Edit: adding some context. I am planning to setup a dev machine that I will connect to remotely and would like to babysit very little while having stable and fresh packages. In the Ubuntu world we would go to an LTS release but on the RPM/Dnf world is there any other distro apart from CentOS Stream? And also is CentOS Stream comparable to an LTS release at all considering that they do not have release number?

Wanting both stable and fresh packages is unfortunately somewhat difficult in my experience. I think the primary choice within the Fedora ecosystem is if you want to have fresh packages (Fedora) or if you prefer a slower update cycle and more stable packages (RHEL/Alma/Rocky). In the second case you can also choose if you wish to pay Red Hat for support (RHEL) or not (Alma or Rocky).

One thing that's quite different in RHEL vs Ubuntu/Debian ist that it gets minor releases that include substantial new features. For example you'll get new compilers, python versions, drivers, ... CentOS Stream gets those slightly ahead of RHEL/Alma/Rocky (a cynical person might say that CentOS Stream is a rolling beta for RHEL). But, IMHO that's not really a strong reason to use CentOS Stream.

If you'd go with an Ubuntu LTS release, then I'd look into RHEL/Alma/Rocky.

The driver should already be installed but there seems to be an issue with brltty registering the corresponding USB ID when they shouldn't. You can probably fix it by following this guide: https://koen.vervloesem.eu/blog/how-to-stop-brltty-from-claiming-your-usb-uart-interface-on-linux/ (or this one: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/670637)

Edit: Perhaps this has since been fixed in Mint 21 / Ubuntu 22.04.

This "new law" was passed more than a year ago... But, it's still a step in the right direction.

Jeder der nicht exakt der gleichen Meinung ist sofort ein Atomtroll?

Ich würde den Atomausstieg nicht auf ein Einziges Jahr beziehen, sondern auf einen Prozess der gut 20 Jahre gedauert hat. Wikipedia scheint das ähnlich zu sehen:

In Deutschland begann der Atomausstieg unter der ersten rot-grünen Bundesregierung (Kabinett Schröder I) mit der „Vereinbarung zwischen der Bundesregierung und den Energieversorgungsunternehmen vom 14. Juni 2000“. 2002 wurde der Vertrag („Atomkonsens“) durch Novellierung des Atomgesetzes rechtlich abgesichert.[120] In der Folge wurden am 14. November 2003 das Kernkraftwerk Stade (640 MW)[121] und am 11. Mai 2005 das Kernkraftwerk Obrigheim (340 MW)[122] endgültig abgeschaltet.

I understood Matthew's position as "this should be discussed in the Workstation WG first", not as a "no":

in favor of the process outlined above (tl;dr: talk to the Workstation WG, and if that does not come to a satisfying outcome, file a Council ticket for next possibilities).

It also seemed more likely that they would promote KDE without demoting Gnome.

But was there a follow-up on that (e.g. in the Workstation WG)?

[-] stuner@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

Given that Fedora is a distro that aims to be on the frontier of new features and technologies, the inclusion of KDE seems like a much better fit than Gnome.

Of course it was patched in all affected Debian versions: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2014-0160

The article says they are aiming for 1W in the next couple of years, which can probably do it.

They won't magically improve the power density by three orders of magnitude. They're just trying to defraud their investors.

Switzerland has since introduced a law that changed this to self determination.

The video is clearly about the water block. They describe their experience while building a computer with it and then give purchasing advice. Sure seems close enough to a review that they should be fair to the manufacturer. And their ethics should not go out of the window just because the didn't put "review" in the title (when was the last time they did that anyway...).

[-] stuner@lemmy.world 90 points 11 months ago

That's really missing the point. They were trying to sell the water block to rich people with more money than sense that, importantly, wanted the best of the best. By not reviewing it correctly, LTT screwed a small company over pretty hard. Linus then went on to say that he made this decision to save $100 to $500. He was unwilling to spend that kind of money to preserve the journalistic integrity of the channel.

The fact that he tried to make it look like LMG was going to compensate them for the block (replying only after the GN video was released) only makes it worse.

Unfortunately, more sustainable (e.g. organic) farming practices generally do not reduce greenhouse-gas emissions [1]. The main issue is that these methods reduce crop yields and thus have a higher land use.
