AFAIK still no external monitor support on m2 air - so not much use for me...yet.
Fedora Workstation 39

Re: Fedora Workstation 39
#32In my case, Fedora became collateral damage after the CentOS/RHEL drama. I've switched all my personal systems to Debian. Fedora is excellent but working with different systems on my personal computers and the servers is not something I have time for.
After 23 years, I got fed up with Debian's many idiosyncrasies/breakage and decided to try Fedora. It's been a breath of fresh air, and I've been pleasantly surprised how much of the stuff I want which required fiddling or compiling in Debian is just in the repos on Fedora.
Unfortunately, unless they've fixed all the bugs that were keeping me off Wayland in F38, I won't be migrating to the reportedly Xorgless F39. Better to have loved and lost...?

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
OT: that’s the first time that i consciously see someone using emojis on Hackernews. Edit: how did you do that, I tried adding one to my comment but it gets removed on post.
It's not an emoji. It's U+2665, "Black Heart Suit" - the playing card symbol.
It is a red heart on my phone.

#34I've tried, and honestly, on my low end hardware, only Arch seems to be the smoothest. I'm running EndeavourOS, which is working amazing smooth here. Fedora always freezes for minutes when the RAM is full. I'm thinking maybe it's ZRAM fault here? And yes, I even tried creating a SWAP file together with ZRAM and no luck.
On Arch it uses zswap....
I wanted to use Debian, but too old packages for me... is Debian testing stable enough?
Re: Fedora Workstation 39
#35I've been using Fedora as my daily driver since FC16. I love it. It was a bit shaky back then on my VAIO laptop but I have stuck with it ever since.
I've been using sway for a couple of years, every other window manager/OS feels like treacle now.

#36Fedora has been my choice of distribution since it was first released two decades ago. What many don't realize is that the Fedora project is much more than just the Fedora Linux distribution - it is a large and vibrant community of contributors and users with 4 strong values: Freedom, Friends, Features, and First (this last one is why Fedora is often touted as being the first Linux distribution to mainstream radical…

Arch focuses on fast packageing of the latest versions of existing applications, but leaves all but the most fundamental architectural decisions to the user. Fedora focuses on implemenring new experimental systems at the architectural level, integrating them with the distro, to make them, hopefully, easy to use out of the box.

#38I've tried a variety of linucies, but I keep coming back to Fedora. It frequently works the best "out of the box". It typically has the newest stuff. Googleability isn't quite as good as Ubuntu, but it's rare that I find answers that just fundamentally don't apply to Fedora. I've beeen running a home server on Fedora, and in-place-upgrading since like version 28, and never has the OS been my problem. I recently swapp…
I’ve been tending to come back to Fedora too. One nice thing is that its packages are pretty new without being bleeding edge and without requiring fiddling with things post-install.
Agree that upgrading is painless with it. I’ve never had to pay close attention to what updates change, and it works flawlessly no matter how long it’s been since an install was updated.
Re: Fedora Workstation 39
#39Fedora 39 KDE Spin has been flawless so far, and I love the window tiling native support. Also, suspend on Nvidia works again for me.. not sure if it's related or driver release coincidence.
I second this. KDE spin has been absolutely fantastic on both my custom desktop (all AMD) and my Framework 13.
I was mulling what to put on my framework 13 that's nearly en route, I think I'm going to give this a shot.

For me, that "coming back" Distro had always been Ubuntu but since ~2021, I'm toggling between Mint and Debian. That's largely due to them pushing the snap paradigm down our throats. At this point, it's virtually impossible to escape that as firefox is only available as snap package in Ubuntu and not as DEB. On the flip side, I don't like the other version of snap (Flatpak) either, especially so since Red Hat pulled…
I landed on Mint. It’s just enough Windows to make sense to me.
