Well obviously, seize the means of production?

Only so I don't have to turn down the volume, and turn it back up when the episode starts.

It uses the Xen hypervisor, not qemu/KVM. Technically it is a Xen kernel virtualizing Linux since it is a type 1 hypervisor.

TBH i used to alt-tab away from what ever non-work-related thing i was doing, to a terminal emulator when ever my boss walked in.

It was usually showing my latest package upgrade.

I think you mean Cole's Law

Lots of people have already mentioned Ventoy.

MediCat is Ventoy with a ton of images and a config file. It seems great, although I chose to roll my own as MediCat had a lot of Windows-centric images i have no need for.

No Children - The Mountain Goats

But not in a "fuck you world, I'll do what I want" kinda way. More of a "I wanna watch it burn" kinda way.

  1. Fedora has a major update every 6 months, and every version is supported for 2 releases + 1 week (= ~1 year).
    Updates have always been pretty painless for me. Most of my problems during updates have come from NVidia drivers (on a laptop), but a fix has always been available from the community.
  2. Fedora has auto-update systemd services for both DNF and RPM-OSTree (more on this later). IIRC it's just enabling a service and maybe editing a config file, but this is easy to search for, so I won't tell you stuff I might not remember.
  3. SELinux mostly just works, and if it doesn't it's probably a bug (if something is a package for Fedora, SELinux should work OOTB. Browse Fedora Magazine for the quirks you need to know how to handle.
  4. I have no experience with ARC GPUs but Fedora might have better support as it tracks the latest kernel release = latest driver (depends on what was actually the issue, of course)

Concerning you RAID, just make sure the installer doesn't touch it and mount it afterwards. You might have to do some kind of "restore" to give the files the needed SELinux metadata. The Discourse forum would probably be a good place to ask.

Now, a bit about DNF vs RPM-OSTree. Fedora with DNF is the standard distro much like most other distros. Use this if the next part doesn't sound useful to you.

RPM-OSTree is used in a new family of distro that work a bit like git for your OS.
Your system runs off an "atomic" image. Atomic means unsplittable in Greek. Everything you change on your system is applied to your atomic image, like a file is added or removed from a git repo.
This is nice because upgrading to the next major version becomes a simple matter of rebasing you changes on top of the new version, and likewise, rolling back (in case of issues) becomes a single command and a reboot.

Fedora IoT is the "Server" edition of the Atomic desktops. Fedora CoreOS is a more "immutable" approach.

Feel free to ask more questions if something doesn't make sense.

Yes it is (sadly) very different for phones.

When an the OS for an Android phone is created, the Linux kernel is forked, and the firmware/drivers for it's hardware components are laid on top (instead of being upstreamed to the kernel). When the manufacturer decides they no longer care about that phone, they stop updating firmware and that will no longer receive updates. You might use a rom that still updates everything else, but these critical parts won't get updated anymore.

The newer Pixel generations get 5-7 years of security updates (IIRC). I believe IOS devices get 5 years.

Android and arm has (/had? I might be partly out of date) a lot of out of tree (not included in the upstream Linux kernel) code which makes booting it on Linux a shit show.
This is also why so few devices are supported by the Linux-phone-OSs.

Oh how sweet is the irony of the bigots in this thread, who thinks the tag is there to "free" from them from seeing gay people holding hands and kissing, when it's actually there because bigots have outlawed being gay some places.

By "heavily homosexual", do you mean pornographic? Because that's a separate tag.

Edit: typo.

That argument is obviously wrong.
Homosexuality (and other sexualities) exist in nature. This is not uncommon knowledge.

Also, the whole "they don't make babies so they're unnatural" thing. How long have you thought this argument through?
Humans and animals are born sterile, they grow too old and become infertile. All of that happens in nature.

That fantasy world of yours is verifiably not how nature works, and it wouldn't take you more than 5 minutes to disprove the bullsh*t.
It makes it hard to believe you are arguing in good faith.

 

"Katte-" as a prefix means relating to a cat. Eg. "Kattepoter" = "cats paws"

Gat means the cloaca on a fish or a bird (cloaca is the all-in-one hole on fish, birds, etc.)

I realize this is probably a very wrong interpretation, but in that case, i don't want to be right.
