Hi all, I wanted to share the outcome of today’s Council meeting regarding this proposal. After several weeks of discussion and incorporating feedback from our community into better revisions of the initial proposal, the Fedora Council has approved the latest version of the AI-Assisted Contributions policy formally. The agreed-upon version can be read in this ticket. You can read the full meeting transcript in the meeting log. So what happens next? Firstly, on behalf of the Fedora Council I...
I’m just circlejerking really. Both have their niches. Fedora is solid. I’ve never had a botched update (meanwhile, my Windows machine at work gets stuck in a boot loop every other update). When I’m doing tech support for people, it is the first OS I reach for. It’s also great for machines that you don’t use regularly (low maintenance). I personally have a lot of tech related hobbies from software development to astronomy to ham radio. I originally decided to switch from Fedora to Gentoo to run a kernel with the older iptables firewall instead of nftables (because Docker took a while to transition and Fedora likes to introduce the newest shit immediately, which is usually a good thing).
My shit is definitely broken in unique ways, but it’s functional in unique ways as well. Someday I will switch to Guix and have a machine which is broken deterministically.
I’ve been wanting to try guix/nix but it just seems like a lot of commitment. They aren’t supported in distrobox either which makes it harder to get a feel for the distro. And due to selinux differences I can’t use nix on its own on my fedora-derived os anyway. Very annoying.
