I would like to thank #Apple for eroding their ecosystem to the point where I am now almost equally happy running Linux on a laptop were it not for the hardware and battery constraints, and #Fedora #Silverblue for being pretty much hassle-free.
I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

2 distros and 4 DEs, well I guess there were a bit more than a few tears. Ending with Fedora and KDE which is what I install at install party.

Terra - A rolling-release Fedora repository

Surely there is. The package manager is RPM instead of APT, via the new DNF system, so the command cannot be that different. Likely something such as:
$ sudo dnf install libreoffice-gtk3 libreoffice-gtk4
The package libreoffice-gtk3 and -gtk4 exists for #fedora:
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/libreoffice/libreoffice-gtk3/
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/libreoffice/libreoffice-gtk4/
Or in RedHat, with:
$ sudo yum install libreoffice-gtk3 libreoffice-gtk4
(Haven't tested it.)
Just wanted to install an #XMPP client to create an account to test something. I moved away to #Matrix years ago because I had no hope anymore for #XMPP, but now that I wanted to create an account, I am just shocked at how dead it is: #Fedora still has Gajim 1.7.3, when the last release is 2.4.1. #pkgsrc is a bit but noch much better with 2.1.1. #Tkabber is even worse: pkgsrc has 0.11.1, when 1.1.2 is the latest release that was released in 2015(!). It seems distributions keep XMPP clients around, but don't update them because nobody is using them anymore. I had not expected for XMPP to be that dead. That's shocking.
I also think if distributions cannot be bothered to update a package in over 10 years, they should just remove it…
I am using Fedora Linux again, on one of my computers.
I haven't used it in decades.
(I started using Linux in the year 1996.)
...
It looks different from the last time I used it 🙂
I really need a laptop. Anyone have access to surplus, or lightly used equipment left after upgrades, or something in your closet you'd like to see someone use? I can pay a few hundred.
I had a #Thinkpad X1 for years and it ran #Fedora pretty well. At this point that particular model would be a few generations behind, so I am hoping for more ram and something newer for development purposes. I would love a gaming laptop so I could do rendering, but not picky.
Please help.
#MutualAidRequest
Lots to love about #Codeberg right now.
#Zig moved to it. LibreWolf is using it. Many #Fediverse projects use it including the FEP process. #Fedora set up their own Forgejo instance (the underlying software for Codeberg).
Now #Gentoo is switching from GitHub to Codeberg!
I've migrated most of my projects there as well.
Every one of these stories is a win for #OpenSource and a middle finger to #Microslop, which is a win-win all around. 😊
I have to say, I think it's great that #Fedora is dropping the #X11 session entirely, but I'm also happy that on my main laptop I'm on a distro that takes it slower. Just yesterday I did a teamviewer session with a friend and teamviewer informed that their #wayland support is experimental and indeed it didn't work. Starting an #X11 session fixed it.

Gestern geordert, heute schon im Versand. Aber leider nach Deutschland und das heisst, dass ich noch bis zum 23.2. auf meinen neuen Schleppi warten muss.
Aber nun zum Endgegner alle Fragen im #Fediverse 🥳
Welche #Linux Distro nehme ich?
Mint, Pop!_OS oder Fedora?
Das sind tatsaechlich die 3, die ich auch gerade auf meinen alten NUCs teste, die ich mag und die in Frage kommen.
Btw mein erster AMD Laptop ueberhaupt & erste Kiste mit AMD seit ueber 25 Jahren.
@pallenberg Ich nutze seit vielen Jahren #Fedora. Mein erster Kontakt mit Linux war im Herbst 2003, als ich Fedora Core 1 auf meinen damaligen Toshiba Satellite installierte. Das funktionierte sogar out of the box, also ohne irgendeine Frikelei, für die Linux damals berüchtigt war. Seit 2016 nutze ich ausschließlich Fedora. Zuvor war ich lange bei Mandrake/Mandriva, Ubuntu und mit Mint (LMDE) unterwegs.
an interesting perspective, @OpenInfra https://openinfra.org/open-infrastructure-blueprint-white-paper
this is to a similar model being developed by @minds

@antenagora @mcbaumwolle I've been having similar issues with suspend since I update to the latest #Fedora. Sometimes `systemctl suspend -i` in the terminal does it better. Someone told me the issue but I do not remember, just learning to live with it. :(
