Guix/nix seem very powerful. The reproducibility is something ansible just isn’t built to same level robustness for, which makes them seem very promising to me.

Its use able. I like unified update mechanism and shared package/library/image systems

Thats not true there are systems that are non-market, non-capitalist, and non-statist.

They basic now includes ads…

That’s awesome! Next laptop decided on.

I mean fuck them both at this point. I’m tired of AAA shitty games, and platform lockins.

Great a duoloply again. That’s what I want instead of independent game studios just making games and letting people play them on what ever platform they want.

They used to under 10, and sharable, now for me and 3 family members its 51 dollars…

If Microsoft could stop pushing for needless expense exclusivety you would have a stronger point. DX needs to die so gaming can move on, for example.

Only thing worse than free market capitalism is state sponsored. Decades of the fed flooding the big banks with capital to loan, taxes taken from everyone but the largest corps, and regulatory capture (see copy right for this topic), and we get corporations that demand difficult anti trust actions just to slow down.

Oh no, those judged seem touched. Maybe the need another sponsored yaht trip to clear their heads.

Fedora also has a rolling release version called rawhide

I hope Linux gaming can keep growing at a fast pace to combat the inevitable clash.

Flatpaks are great for GUI apps, and have a sandboxing system that allow them to work well on any system that support flatpak. This allows devs to package once run anywhere, saving Dev time! It also has a portals system to allow for better system integration of the granular permissions needed for the app to actually work (nobody wants a truly isolated sandbox for every app).

Snap is less featureful for GUI apps, but work closer to how native packages do. The real issue is the proprietary app store required for it, making non-foss. If you want the same benefits of snap, check out Guix and NixOS both of which have a more cleaner design, and work better IMHO.

Dang, Suse really coming in strong with this. I still wish they offered openQA too. Between Rancher, and Suse they really do go pound for pound against RedHat.

The rest, ansible for any sufficiently complex enough setup at the moment. Good for integration work with LDAP, etc if your using that. Again may play around with guix on that front.

I’m a /home on separate drive/partition kind of guy. I like it just following my installs. Though seeing some using guix/nixos to create a config for my desktop has got me wanting to spend a weekend trying that out.

I’m choosing to divest and look for more opportunities to help community ran distros to better fill that niche. Maybe NixOS or Guix as system os and rke2 and flatpak for the rest of services and apps.

The snap store is proprietary, flatpaks handle the graphical app space better, OCI containers handle the service space better, and really high reported load times.

Flatpaks are awesome IMHO.

Right now? Bad. Other Big Tech would swoop in and tech their place and try and take their proprietary market share, but a lot of the open source work would be left to die on the vine, including Firefox. It would be a loss of paid talent in the FOSS world and a massive consolidation of big tech.
