Fedora is very accessible to a new linux user. He can then switch to centos for his server needs and make his tests, to host the server of his guild for example. And then move to rhel for his job. And he will stick to Fedora for his home usage. That's a solid population to ask support questions to.
With the end of centos/clones, it means there is no testbench for servers anymore for the fedora crowd. They now have to jump to the paid rhel version or not do it at all. Centos stream is not something that you want to run services on. That's not the real deal like centos/clones was.
The hobbyists who ran centos/clones and who never jumped to rhel will also be confronted to the choice of running fedora and another complete different system like debian server. In this situation they will probably change their server distro as well and adopt the light version of it for their home usage. To emerge themselves into the new ecosystem. Why would you split your habits on 2 different type of distro?
And finally there is the trust part. If IBM can shut down centos/clones in one day without flinching, what could possibly happen to Fedora? I had my doubt during the acquisition, I don't have doubt anymore.
There is a lot of reasons why debian or ubuntu or suse will see fedora refugees coming to their shore.
For personal use you can use RHEL for free. Otherwise, you can definitely run Centos still. Sure it won't be as rock solid as RHEL but you could do far worse. The current Centos stream image is about as conservative as Debian 11 and RH devs are paid to make sure it's stable. Personally I run Fedora and Debian, it's not like there is much functional difference between distros if you use containerization.
RH can't even shut down Fedora if they wanted, it's a community project. I don't see what they would have against Fedora, it gives them free beta testing and development for their products.
For those of us not familiar with lxd, could you summarize what it's presently mainly used for? It looks to me like it's a container system with a higher level of isolation than lxc, but is it principally interesting for deploying server software in a VPS-per-machine to try to limits the impact of a compromised server? Playing video games from unknown and potentially-untrusted sources? People reselling VPS service?
Skimming the tools page, I'm guessing maybe a little of #1 and a little of #3, but couldn't say for sure.
This guy does a excellent job on explaining not only the details, but the terminology too, and how to install, use, and configure. So I'm going to share this video for you and even the newbies who stumble over this post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIwgPKkVj8s
If you just want a VNC server use one of the other ones, tightvnc or tigervnc. There’s a client called vinagre which supports a few protocols including VNC as long as you have the right client packages installed.
Ssh is usually the way to go on Linux though, much more useful once you know the cli. It’s been quite a while since I’ve used VNC.
I appreciate the link to the RFP page. But to be clear, I was surveying to find out if there even exists any kbin client to speak of. AFAICT, there are none.
Debian tends to be pretty conservative, and kbin is currently a pretty niche application that's only of interest to server admins. So, I suspect you're right. It probably wouldn't be packaged until a Debian Developer happens to be interested in it.
I'm not sure, I don't use the software center at all. How long have you let it run for? It is possible that there is just a bunch of processing going on to update after removing the cdrom sources list.
You might find some additional information in /var/log/apt/term.log. Watching that log file while launching the software center might provide additional insight.
when triggered via terminal,logfile is ending,before the center can even be launched.
so,how can that log file be watched,while the software center is launching?
Ah, I didn't understand. "Log ended" means that the run completed. I'm glad you've got a resolution. Usually Linux is pretty good about not needing a reboot.
didnt understand either.log was ending,before the sw center could get started.am glad,that rebooting,got it back running again.sometimes it is doing miracles.
