Is it cool that Linus Torvalds uses Fedora Linux? Yes!
But the really cool thing is to use the Linux distro that works best for you. :)
Having Linux get covered on LTT is such a big win for the open source community as more techies realize there is another way!

But it is pretty neat tho what Linus uses 😎
Has anyone figured out how to run Home Manager on Fedora Silverblue yet? I've been unsuccessful so far and would appreciate some pointers.

I wanted to write this post because I want the Fedora project to have better security throughout their operating systems. I believe the first step to doing that, is to use another memory allocator that mitigates heap memory corruption and use-after-frees, alongside lots of other features to harden one of the most important functions in all modern systems as far as I am aware. hardened_malloc[1], by the GrapheneOS project, fits this description perfectly. Using this benefits not just the Fedora project, but it will also push other distributions to using hardened_malloc, and then the Linux ecosystem will benefit as a whole from the provided security. Good security is an essential part of good privacy, so this will also benefit the privacy of all Linux distributions.
Given the above paragraph, I want you to promote this thread[2] to anyone who is interested in security and privacy. You can also help by testing hardened_malloc on your own Linux systems and sharing your results with me through any means of contact, so that I can replicate the behaviour and make bug reports where necessary. For that, please see this page[3] for my preferred methods of contact.
I don't think I'll be able to attract a lot of people with this post on my own, so boosting will be massively appreciated. Thank you for reading this until this point. This isn't my longest toot yet but I feel like this is my most passionate, as I deeply care about security, GrapheneOS and the Fedora project. Again, thank you! (^_^)

OK, I've been craving getting a real Linux box set up on real hardware (my VM corrupted itself a while back, very sad!). I was looking into Mini PC hardware and, uh…oof.
Then it dawned on me: I could solve two problems at once! So here's my plan:
1) Buy a used Mac mini M2 with double my current storage/RAM, then
2) Convert my current Mac mini M1 into an @AsahiLinux system running Fedora.
This would give me a great Linux machine *and* a better, updated macOS machine for a pretty low price! 🤯

This plan is now in motion! Bought a Mac mini M2 Pro off eBay and it's being shipped to me now. Once I get everything transitioned over and working as expected, I'll be installing Asahi #Fedora #GNOME #Linux on my Mac mini M1! 🥳
@transicorn there is a difference between "acceptable during development" and "shoved down everyone's throats oh and also we're working on a way to subvert people's clearly expressed lack of consent for scraping":

The former is meh, the second is outright malicious.
@rysiek @petko @mozillaofficial I completely agree.
But for some who respond to posts here re: #AI they don't make a distinction.
The recent 'I'm leaving #Fedora because they will allow AI code contributions' crowd seems pretty quiet now upon news the same is happening with the kernel itself.
I was just making the distinction for them largely.
#Linux friends!
My goal is to have CasaOS running in my home
I was told Ubuntu was the 'best' distro for this (??)
I'm loading it on my old SkullCanyon NUC
Apparently 24.04 LTS seems to have an incompatibility with video drivers
I can't get the GPU to work (at all)
What other distro should I try? #Debian? #Fedora? #Mint (Debian Edition?)
Keep in mind I don't really care which distro I use. #CasaOS is my only goal so I'm looking for the one that is most compatible with my 7. year old Intel NUC.

Does anybody else have this issue or am I going mad right now?
Setup: #Fedora #Silverblue on #FrameworkLaptop, #HP #Printer "just works" via #Gnome3 printing dialogue.
BUT: whenever I print more than one copy, the printer spits out not ${NumberOfCopies} but instead 2^(${NumberOfCopies})
so if I want 2 copies it prints 4, if I want 3 copies it prints 8, and so on.
Reproducible with at least 2 different HP printer models so I'm guessing it's some bug in either hplip or in Gnome.
