Linux Distros Evolution - January 2024 Update: Pop!_OS in Decline?
  • Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I didnt realise that Arch adoption was so high. I (don't) use arch, BTW. Although now I feel like I want to give it a spin to see what all the fuss is about!

    Or maybe I'll stay fat, dumb, and happy with Fedora and Nobara on my desktop and laptop.

    Not that it would change anything for me personally, but I really think Pop! OS is a poor naming choice. Who puts an exclamation mark in their name? Aside from Yahoo! I suppose.

  • Protectli FW6B

    I'm using a Protectli FW6B as my opnsense firewall/router. I'm upgrading my internet service to 1.5 GB fiber and I'm not sure what to do with this device once I do. I could continue using it as my router (I guess put it on the LAN side of the supplied Bell "Gigahub" router/WiFi ap/whatever the fiber equivalent of a modem is?) but then I lose out on 1/3 of my bandwidth.

    I already have a homebuilt NAS running truenas with a bunch of services - I guess I could move all those services from truenas onto the Protectli and keep the NAS solely as a storage system?

    Either that or just sell it to recupe the costs somewhat. I'm already considering selling my ruckus 510s because the new router comes with WiFi 6. If I did that, I'd probably look to sell the 2x ruckus r510 aps I have setup too.

    Is there another option I'm missing?

  • Are the exits meant to exist even in the dark? I jumped into the unlit exit on level 7 before I realized the last light was switchable, and I still exited. I couldn't see it.

    Edit: very cool game though. I enjoyed it!

  • What is your experience with Nobara?
  • I use it on my laptop. I had some issues with Fedora 37 and the nvidia / hybrid graphics and i couldnt get some games to default to the dedicated gpu rather than the integrated one. It was probably fixable, but it was a fresh install anyways so i gave Nobaru a shot. Zero issues, works great.

    I still use Fedora on my desktop. It has an AMD GPU, and ive never had issues with it. Going on three years now i think.

  • RHEL and Fedora for home use

    I see a lot of posts about Redhat for putting their code base behind a paywall. I've only been using Linux as my main desktop OS for a couple of years now. Someone recommended Fedora at the time, and I've been happy with it. I had previously tried PopOS, Mint, and Ubuntu, but none of them convinced me to switch from Windows full time until I tried again with Fedora.

    How will what Redhat is doing affect Fedora for the home user? Should I start considering something else?

    Edit: thanks for all of the responses! Sticking with fedora for now it is.
