  • That sounds like an explanation for ostree.

  • I don't interact with either of following systems KDE Linux, atomic fedora and opensuse (aeon). What is the difference between them? How can I choose between them?

    I used a fedora distrobox for a long time. I couldn't figure out how to upgrade many times. Now, I use aeon with a rolling opensuse distrobox. And I don't have to think about upgrading again. I am not too sure why I didn't think of that before (probably because I didn't care too much).

    Note that Homebrew packages are not segregated, so they can override system libraries and present problems. This should be considered an experts’ tool.

    To me as an end user it translates to: don't touch brew. what about nix home manager? Is nix as dangerous as brew?

    There’s no package manager.

    I'm confused. It's based on arch but not really? Is it arch based or not? Does it use any arch package manager? The post raises a number of new questions

  • Neo Launcher.

    It's great. The only downside is not having a release schedule. It had one or two annoying bugs in the past but nothing serious.

    I didn't read anything about nova for the past years, I even forgot that it was a thing.

    Edit: there has been no fdroid or github release since 2022. There are still commits in the repo but I don't know if the published version on telegram is the one from github. Does this make it closed source now?

  • Companies locking the bootloading screams for a new EU law regarding the matter to strengthen customers.

    According to this post https://xiaomitime.com/eu-kills-android-bootloader-unlock-starting-august-1-59449/ there is already a EU law weakening customers.

    " In 2022, a new set of rules (delegated act 2022/30) brought cybersecurity front and center.

    As of August 2025, manufacturers selling devices in the EU need to:

    • Block the installation of unauthorized software
    • Use Secure Boot (or similar) to verify firmware authenticity
    • Ensure only signed and approved ROMs can run "
  • "Software" is increadibly fast for me on opensuse. Either it's the package manager or the connection that causes trouble.

  • home manager is as easy as pie. You don't have to use the OS to use nix, the package manager. It's a little bit unfortunate that everything is called nix

  • If the average tech nerd uses linux and uses two computers every day and the average non tech nerd has only one device and uses his computer only once a week.

    Could this distort such a usage report?

  • I recently moved to Aeon from silverboue and it's great so far.

  • That is a rabbit hole. There are as many tools as sand on the beach.

    One of the tools you are looking for is probably starship.

    But you can make it as easy as customiying PS1 with e.g. https://bash-prompt-generator.org/

  • He is exaggerating a lot

  • Are you rowing back on your statement against redhat? Am I understanding this right?

  • That sounds bad. Are there any examples?

    I mean it would be easier to just say that fedora is american and suse is european. And thus, suse should be preferred.

    Fedora is a great distro, what decision did IBM take/influence that makes it worse?

    Opensuse is awesome but fedoras atomic ostree distros are amazing. Opensuse does not have such an amazing distribution channel afaik. There is no bazzite built with suse. And no other ublue project.

  • Ente is a great project but with immich as a competitor it has a hard time

  • Yes, it can do both.

  • Then post that into a linux community. Please don't post non linux related stuff.

  • Post it into a windows community, not linux.

  • Open Source @lemmy.ml

    Which companies / Apps / Services would you suggest to use as examples for successfull OS businesses?
