@ickplant i wonder if they are also afraid that something will grab their leg.

And now I’m on fedora 39 kinoite because I like the immutable image-based features such as being able to build my own images in the cloud and being able to roll back to any previous version if something messes up in an upgrade. And also I have more control over what software is installed on the host system because it’s all written in my Dockerfile so if I want to uninstall something and all of its dependencies, I’m just gonna remove it from the Dockerfile.

My first installed Linux distro was Ubuntu 5.10. I started experimenting with Linux because my neighbour at the time said good things about Linux. He used windows himself but he also heard good things about Linux and spread the word in curiousity. Eventually I was the one of us who made the jump.

Android has great backwards compatibility.
Targeting above that level isn’t too much to ask.

@possiblylinux127 Fedora FTW 🙏

@possiblylinux127
And then enterprise Linux on your home desktop?

@devilish666 hm. how does that work?

@LinearArray that 2nd image is me.

@possiblylinux127
What do you mean with other way around?

@tourist
😅 Time is critical in such situation

@tourist im sorry to hear :(

did you manage to recover it?

@ahal yes true :D

@Shareni alma started to take sources from centos stream. so yeah upstream in a way.

@GnomeComedy ansible sounds cool. i don’t know anything about it, but it seems like this is a bit of the same as i’m doing with Dockerfiles for my Fedora Kinoite. building my own custom OS image with github actions and then every 3rd day the new image gets pulled by my pc from the cloud.

@mfat and with Distrobox containers.

@Shareni
With bootleg RHELs you mean Alma and Rocky?

@sepiroth154
Indeed. 😄 You’re the first to catch it 😄

@Pantherina
There is a free subscription for RHEL for individuals.

And I think it’s less of an issue nowadays with old packages since we have extra layers such as podman containers over distrobox, flatpak, snap, Nix etc.
Then you can have a solid base OS with less solid layers on top where things are allowed to break but don’t mess with the rest of the system. I use Fedora Kinoite as my base for this exact reason.

@Annoyed_Crabby
Good answer
