Free/Libre Software enthusiast. Love Linux, programming and open web in general.

different_base,

Not OP, but my reasons for choosing Fedora is, it just works. I use the Atomic version of it which is an image based operating system. Installing packages or updates does not leave the system unstable. I can simply rollback to previous version. Also Fedora pushes entire Linux community forward by adopting potential technologies like Flatpak, PipeWire, Wayland etc earlier compared to other distros.

(I also run NixOS which I believe has more potential and solves many problems than Fedora).

Having said that there are two downsides to Fedora.

  • Fedora is closely associated with Red Hat. I wish it is purely community driven.
  • Fedora does not offer LTS kernels (Maybe it would threaten Red Hat, if Fedora is too stable).
different_base,

Exactly. While I love Plasma for what it is, I also don’t love certain things like lack of polish, stability etc. Again no offense. Fedora Workstation aims to be a stable OS with sensible defaults for wider audience including home users, disabled people and developers who want to get things done rather than tweaking their OS. GNOME may not have great customizability as Plasma but it is stable and well polished for average user.

different_base,

Same here. I can’t stand the lack of cleanliness in UI. In Plasma, within 5 mins of usage, I can already notice imperfections everywhere.

different_base,

That is not the DNSCrypt official website.

Official site: dnscrypt.info

Official repo: github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy

Can confirm. At this point, I just want a solution to completely remove Reddit links from search results.

different_base,

I use Postgres at my home and at work. I thank him and other unknown heroes. He will live forever with Postgres.

As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

different_base,

Yes. It saved me from crappy firmware on my expensive router. It’s a must if you care about security of your home network and devices.

different_base,

I use an entry level router ASUS RT-AX53U with OpenWrt. WiFi 6, IPv6, Guest VLAN, DNSCrypt (DoH), Adblock, Firewall are few things I have configured with OpenWrt.

Even if you don’t buy ASUS, make sure your router is supported by OpenWrt. It’s a Linux distribution that runs on routers and PCs to configure home networking.

  • OpenWrt
  • Syncthing
  • VeraCrypt
  • KeePassXC
  • GNUCash
different_base,

I am using GNOME with Fedora and NixOS on multiple machines. I sincerely thank the hard work of maintainers and contributors.

Fedora Server

different_base,

Yes. It’s called opting out of Google. There’s no other way.

different_base,

Thank you Nextcloud. I use a self hosted version at my home to back up my Documents and Pictures. If anyone would like to move from big tech for cloud storage, it’s easy to do with Nextcloud + Docker.

different_base,

Yes it’s pain to setup for first time. But it’s an one time effort that pays off eventually. Once it’s setup, I never experienced any issues during upgrade. It’s easy as simply pulling latest container images.
