Fedora Kinoite is, probably, the best recommendation.


Debian is a stable server distro, but in the desktop space users expect everything to just work and while Fedora is usually backwards compatible, Debian isn’t always forwards compatible.
As for security updates, IDK.
I’m operating mostly of second-hand information I vaguely remember, I’m not an expert on these things so I’m not really the person to be discussing this with. There’s surely a reason Linus uses Fedora over Debian though.


Because holding back updates makes the system insecure and unstable.


I’m considering distro-hopping from Kubuntu to Fedora Kinoite. I just am trying to figure out how it fairs in terms of application sandboxing, what they’re doing on supply chain security (re: XZ Utils) and whether I might want to give GNOME another shake.


Is this enough to update the Fedora Linux wikipedia page, or is it still just “the distribution used by Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel (as of May 2020)”? It isn’t exactly confirmed but … like what else is he gonna use. I don’t know if he’d be caught dead using Debian or Arch, and OpenSUSE would be too wild a choice.


Tibet had a different language, culture, government than the Republic of China.
Didn’t say Tibet was a good nation, just an “other nation”.
Obama didn’t behave as weirdly as Biden. He facilitated neo-nazi’s taking control of Ukraine’s government and that prompted Russia to annex parts of Ukraine. The difference is that Obama behaved like is normal for an American president and it doesn’t seem like war was his goal, Biden behaved incomprehensibly and was either deliberately pushing for war to further his own political ambitions or he was too senile to know what he was doing.


It does say PRC in the heading, but you’d be forgiven for missing it.


South China Sea? Granted building a military base in another country’s waters isn’t technically an attack but … come on.
Also Tibet. Whether or not it was a legitimate “state” it was definitely an “other nation”.
UK and Poland are both European, but the UK has left the European Union and is clearly America’s plaything so we can safely exclude them from the category of “Europe”, while Poland sent so few troops it became a meme. Most of the European countries who sent troops did so only after a unanimous UN security council resolution, supported by both Russia and China.
Oh and Norway apparently committed military equipment, so there’s that.
As for opposition, my country’s prime minister has been couped for defying American foreign policy, and the leading opposition are deeply-ingrained America-sycophants. Practically speaking it’s unlikely that any opposition would succeed and even if it the most it would do is cause a mild inconvenience. The issue of Palestine is even more fraught than Iraq because of Epstein.


What is this referring to?
Europe didn’t even participate in the Iraq war, that’s a common misconception. It was just the US, UK, Australia, and Poland. And in Poland’s case they contributed just 200 troops. Sure just like with Palestine they didn’t actively oppose it meaningfully, but the Iraq war was like 90% American, 9% British, 0.5% Australian, and 0.05% Polish.
It was Biden that goaded Ukraine into flaunting it’s NATO ambitions while making it clear multiple times that America would not come to Ukraine’s aid. Europe is really being screwed here from both sides, on principle they support democracy and self-determination but they are entirely dependent on the Americans to stand up for that.

Nothing weird about enjoying that. I enjoy it too.
Although I am Autistic so my opinion means nothing here.


I use CachyOS and it’s been more or less plug and play. Some next fest demos haven’t worked (i.e. B.C Piezophile) but whenever that happened I just moved on to a different game and put it in the “later” folder to see if time will fix it.


I switched and I often mention that online.
First I was on a laptop with Linux Mint and ran into innumerable issues. Used that for a few years.
Then I got a new (used) laptop after my CTRL key stopped working (among other things) and tried to dual-boot the pre-installed Windows 11 “just in case” but ended up accidentally corrupting it so gave up and stayed on all Linux for my laptop. My new laptop mostly “just worked” as opposed to my old laptop that didn’t even have working bluetooth.
Then I moved my Desktop to Linux and transferred Windows 10 to the aforementioned laptop with the broken CTRL key. That laptop has been sititng untouched in my closet since I went full Linux in mid-October.
I don’t even know what it does.
