Yeah the issue is that so many companies were at the intersection of two monopolies – either one failing has catastrophic effects, and there’s no backup plan.

I mean yes they did “formally request” it, but given the power dynamic between a FOSS project and a large technology company, openSUSE is not in a position where they could possibly refuse. So is there a difference between a request and a demand?
To be honest, their demand that OpenSUSE rebrand left a bad taste in my mouth. I get the logic behind it, but the time for that passed a long time ago (probably about 15 years ago).
Tenacity looks great, and I didn’t even know about it! Thanks for the reminder, we should definitely be supporting the fork thats actually proper FOSS.
Ahhh I see. At least from Wikipedia, it looks like the auto-opt-in telemetry was dropped, which is good.
Wierd that it’s owned by Muse group now, but glad it’s alive and well.
What happened with all the privacy invading stuff which Audacity went through a couple years ago? I never heard whether it got reverted or not.
Many Python packages are packaged by apt to deal with this. Try apt search python3-
.
Start by running vim and typing :vimtutor
. You might have to install the vimtutor package. Its a good way to learn. Once you’re through the vimtutor tutorial you should be good to go, you’ll get better over time. I second recommending neovim over original vim. The command is nvim
to start once installed.
Yes, cinnamon is its own DE. Its similar to KDE in layout, but iirc it’s a fork of a very very old gnome version. I remember seeing a benchmark at some point that Cinnamon was less resource-intensive than GNOME or KDE

I’m still on an X11 session, so I used xinput --test-xi2
to look at it, and yeah. The thumb key doesn’t register any type of event. Weird, right?
Ooooo thank you! A lifesaver.
I’ll second the onboard storage, and add that any >3-button mouse should have buttons that map to actual key/character presses. I got a Razer Basilisk Pro on clearance, and it does have onboard storage, so once I turned off the RGB in the windows software on an old laptop, I could get rid of it. What I didn’t realize til later is that the nice little thumb lever can’t be remapped by anything but the Razer software (which has to be running all the time) because it doesnt register as any key combo, it had to be processed through their app to be used. Damn it.
Edit: Have you tried looking at what keycodes the side buttons on your current mouse are mapped to? Sometimes you can intercept that input and make it perform correctly. I haven’t done it on linux yet, but I’m sure there’s an equivalent to AutoHotkey for Linux.
Honestly I tried Silverblue, and had a much better time after I rebased to Bluefin. I would recommend going for Aurora over Kinoite. Of course, you can always rebase.
Ahhh gotcha. The websites don’t give a good indication of that, unfortunately. Trying to find the differences between OpenSUSE flavors was surprisingly hard. Thanks for the info!
Ya know, I never really processed it before, but that’s Frank Herbert making a Greek mythology pun/spoiler: the atreides
From OpenSUSE there’s also leap micro. Never used it, but maybe worth looking at.
If you don’t like fedora it might still be worth trying one of the fedora atomics, depending on what you didn’t like. For instance, I could never get used to dnf, but it’s largely irrelevant on an atomic distro anyways.
I would love to see a true atomic Debian-based distro, but I think that’s a long way from maturity.
Edit: opensuse aeon will also be released soon, but at least the comments on this post seem to think that there’s some important things missing from Suse atomic.
Thanks for spreading the word!
Yeah, and in the last couple decades the NIH and NSF have become more applications-focused. If you can’t show a commercial application for your basic research. It’s less likely to get funded. Now, the DOD is the easiest way to get true basic research funded, which isn’t ideal; only basic research which the DOD thinks is important will get funded.
So all their products are breaking…
To be honest, I’m not sure if it would be more concerning for them to have just one fatal issue with their process, or two unrelated ones.
