Fedora
Any RPM-based system has exemplary validation and, as long as we don’t throw it out with flatsnappimages, it presents a very clean and maintainable install.
Extra points for PCLinuxOS which has avoided lennart’s cancer.
No points for SuSE as they continue to exist as the over engineered bastard child of slackware and RPM, like slackware met 73deJeff on a trip and let the tequila do the talking. Mamma mia!
I’m supposed to wade through all the log files in /var/log myself??
You configured your logging. You could have made them all one file.
predictable and consistent.
Or none of those.
Oh. My NIC didn’t ‘start’ because systemd and network manager are fighting again? Neet.
But why?
I a world where we can’t really be sure what’s in an upgrade, a super-clean start that burns any ephemeral data is about the best way to ensure a consistent start.
And consistency gives reliability, as much as we can get without validation (validation is “compare to what’s correct”, but consistency is “try to repeat whatever it was”).

Not a word, my dude.
Former OS security here (I worked at an OS vendor who sold an OS or two and my job involved keeping it secure).
Fuck no.
Sorry if that makes you downvote, but it doesn’t make them safer.
I saw this and was pleased, actually. The relative opacity of containers makes them a validation challenge and hides versioning from standard tooling used for large host populations and/or enterprise.
Even if they sparkle.
Docker-dependent? It looks fantastic, but I have no containers in my home-lab – and it’s based on my time managing OS security for an OS. I’m stuck living vicariously through the rest of you, so report back often.

Thank you for including this summary. It’s surprising how often that’s left out and it’s always valuable.
Sadly, it’s container-dependent, it seems. Also, it’s asking for supply-chain exploits and violating ISO27002 with pnpm, but for a PoC setup it looks excellent.
And this is how we get Systemd
POPULAR != BETTER
If there’s an article with words, can you pass it along? I’m not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.
Life’s too short to listen to people who talk slow.
Systemd
I’m out
Yes, technically it’s still on the tiny screen of your phone with a really bad ux to make it go, sure. But you see how ‘went away’ is both true for web and effectively true for phone app? You do see that, right?
Topgrade - Upgrade all your system packages and dependencies in one command.
Keeping your system up to date usually involves invoking multiple package managers.
As someone who worked build/rel before working OS security: if you’re intentionally breaking Single Source of Truth for software state management, then you’re in for a bad time. This can only delay the inevitable, but the technical debt comes at a high credit cost on top.
Building an RPM is SO trivial to do, even without some LLM feeding it to you; and maintaining an existing one or rebuilding it to suit another distro or version even more trivial. Save your sanity and avoid out-of-band ‘package’ managers!
Are we competing again?
I’m proud to be setting up a rhel10 desktop, as it’ll be the first time I ran Linux as a desktop in 30 years of a Linux/Unix career.
To rephrase: I ran XFree86 on a 4mb i386 machine 30 years ago.
What do I win?
If you want to sell 3D printed stuff, sell it on an appropriate platform and for fuck’s sake, sell things that you actually have the rights to print and sell.
I’m so relieved that there’s an appropriate platform!
I need some brackets to mount a gadget I ebayed as a spare. The vendor included tapped holes for mounting, but never sold the brackets. About 3 designs out there offer a solid and reliable mounting solution.
Each one a bit that would fit in a 1990 drugstore film cylinder, only 40c to print and us$71 shipping to the V3L, it seems.
There is no library in my area still maintaining a running 3d printer. I have no contacts nerdier than me who have a working printer.
Where is this place that I can get my brackets? I can’t justify a $250 printer just for 4 bracket pieces!
incase
Your phone was right: this isn’t a word.
Good news: session save/restore
Bad news: lennart’s tumor
Verdict: nope.
“Go edit the source” is starting to look like the new “let them eat cake”.
How quickly you trivialize the work of the experienced kde devs that some pedestrian can wander in and mod a large project without fear.
