Arch or NixOS?

    This is my experience as well. I went back to Arch after trying NixOS for a few weeks. I just ended up spending way too much time tinkering with the system instead of using it. Also, I feel like a major advantage to nixos is only viable if you have multiple machines. I only have a main desktop.

    I still don’t see how having the choice is a bad thing. If you don’t like Red Hats position, then don’t use Fedora. For those that believe using Fedora will help better the Open Source ecosystem, they have the ability to do so.

    Getting rid of a choice completely because you don’t agree with a position in a nuanced conversation seems childish

    I also agree with this move. Keeping Open Source projects funded and sustainable is a hard thing to do. IMO they’re still keeping with the Open Source principles

    Why would this be a good thing at all? One of the main goals of the ecosystem is to have multiple choices, and as others in this thread has mentioned, Fedoras made significant progress for the adoption of Linux as a whole

    Thanks for this. I’m on 1440p so hopefully the performance will be a bit better. The A770 seems like it has great price to performance though, making it one of the top spots on my list.

    Glad to hear that support is solid on Arch

    Appreciate it. It sounds like with the new announcement they’re putting quite a bit of support behind it so I’m optimistic improvements are made quickly

    Congrats on the kid! I’ve also heard to lift first due to risk of injury. It makes sense to me - there’s a higher chance of acute injuries during heavy squats or deadlifts if I’m fatigued and get sloppy on form

    I was kinda bored for this announcement. I have a M2 Pro MBP for work and I really have no desire to get anything faster.

    I was hoping for a new iPad Mini announcement

    I’m also trying to figure out how to not lift the day before my long runs. I usually do Saturday long runs, lift Friday and speed work Thursdays. I might try to lift light Thursdays and see how that goes

    Oh wow you don’t feel fatigued during your runs after lifting? Even my easy run feels a bit tougher when I lift beforehand.

    Any reasoning behind always lifting first?

  • How many of you both run and strength train in a given week? I'm currently doing strength training 3x a week, running 4x a week. Mondays are the only days where I have both scheduled. I'm curious for those of you that do both, what kind of strength training do you do, and do you run first or lift first?

    I'm in this camp as well - I personally don't think that the Fedora distro will see much of an impact. From what I can tell, it's still in their best interest to ensure that Fedora receives the community support that it always has. That said, like I mentioned in the OP, I get why they made this move for the company.

    We'll just have to wait and see whether their Fedora support will continue. The great thing about Linux is the choice, though. So if there ever comes a time where Fedora's no longer pro consumer, there's always Arch and Debian.

    Yeah I believe the primary problem (from the community) is that the telemetry was proposed to be default opt-out. Meaning the default choice is opted in.

  • What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it. My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company. What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?

    Incredibly troubling this is approved to be taught to children. I think we can all agree horrible it is that Japan has consistently denied the atrocities they committed during WW2. Let’s do better.

    First step is to make sure the next generations understand what NOT to do.

    Oh awesome. I’ll try it out with Whisky - looks like a great UI for it. Is your performance typically better over Parallel?
