I mean, the models are open source, so of course the military is also permitted to use them

I guess there was no way to honk?

Memes should be entertaining and/or funny. This one is neither :(

As per my other comment:

Do your latex work inside a distrobox and you're fine.

I'm not sure if you can layer another window manager on top. You may have to create a custom image for that

Basically installing packages. You're fine if you default to using

  • flatpaks for gui apps
  • brew for cli programs
  • distrobox when building from source or when you need good control over the package environment (e.g. when installing a latex editor and only the latex packages you want)
  • layer packages on host with "rpm-ostree install" when the program needs tight integration with the host (e.g. VPN software)

Also, you shouldn't edit files in /usr, but I've never run into that limitation. You can still edit other top-level directorys like /etc .

That's about it.

Just use brew for non-gui programs. Really easy. It's the recommended way by the ublue devs and should be pre-installed

Biggest benefit for me is automatic updates in the background which are also safe. On a normal distro, if your pc shuts down for whatever reason during kernel updates you have an unbootable system. That can't happen on bazzite

The solution is to not be cconfident and remain open minded. You can switch any time

Here's another comment with more detail

From this article, an interview with Fedora's project leader:

On the other hand, the long-term distributions work by basically not making changes. Fedora doesn't follow that, your packages will get updated. We try to make it so that major breaking changes happen on releases rather than just as updates. But sometimes, if there is a security problem, we will put out a newer version of something. So for that kind of stable, it is much less so."

That's why Fedora users are stuck with e.g. the older GNOME version until the next release.

The difference between Fedora and Debian regarding stability is that there's a new Fedora release every 6 months, while on Debian you have to wait like 2 (?) years for major updates.

That's how I always interpreted the term "leading edge".

Yes, that article is wrong

Fedora is not bleeding edge like Arch. It's "leading edge"; the packages are a lot more tested before being deployed.

People being more experienced with Ubuntu/Debian is a good point
