From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.

I'm my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I'd prefer running an app locally if possible.

I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn't have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it's simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.

Looking for options.. if anyone can help a Linux noob I'm all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.

Did someone really manage to convince you that Fedora would be more stable than Manjaro?

For the record, I've been using Manjaro for 3 years without any reinstall on my main laptop and I still haven't witnessed any stability issue. My experience with Fedora has not been similar at all...

Yes same here, I've been using Manjaro for a few years since I'm too busy to waste an entire day setting up a naked Arch. I have had no single stability issue, thing is rock solid

On the counterpart, fedora has always felt like I can't get a single package installed without the need for arcane sudo magic tricks and my system being unable to update anymore at the end of the process. I know that the problem probably lies between the bed and the keyboard, but come on, I am skilled enough to install and rice an Archlinux and manage my AUR packages without problems, but can't install GCC on fedora? Hmmm....

And I'm not even mentioning conflicts and packages being unavailable either because your version of fedora is too young or too old
