Just switched to Fedora Kinoite and I’m loving the immutability of the OS. Oh bad update? lol rollback and golden. Can’t do that shit with each bloatware force push from MS
I mean, good thing, too. They just broke the lock screen this week. That was an annoying half an hour of troubleshooting to do in the middle of a work day.
Pros and cons in each, I suppose.
They just broke
Who did? I didn’t quite follow.
A KDE update broke its lock screen. Locking the computer would bring up a message reading “The lock screen is broken and doesn’t work anymore, to unlock the computer, hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, login and enter this command.”
Interesting that there’s a “failsafe” like that though.
Hah. Those used to be a lot more common, this is actually a bit of a blast from the past.
Early graphical Linux interfaces were constantly breaking and telling you to go back to a terminal to restart your X server or fix whatever was broken manually.
That used to be the “but you have to use the terminal” of very early Linux, back when “can you install Debian from scratch?” was the old “can you install Arch from scratch?”
Man, I’m old.
It is already the year of the Linux Desktop for me and has been for years. Anyone who run GNU+Linux exclusively is already there.
Every year is the year of the Linux desktop
Honestly I wasn’t expecting to see a significant increase. It’s a nice surprise. If we get to 6-7% Linux will be much harder to ignore for software and hardware providers. Personally I’m good on software but better wifi drivers would be welcomed.
I’m guessing that isn’t the only reason.
