Okay. Fair enough.

 

Let's have a short round of introductions and answer questions about anything related to ongoing topics, previous decisions, and future plans related to the ...

You could include pass. It is a password manager that is primarily terminal-based, but because it uses standard GPG encrypted files to do so, they are viewable in your file browser and there are graphical extensions for your web browser.

It also uses Git so you can sync it to a remote repository, and Git can be seen as another application that works in a similar manner. It is terminal-based, but there are graphical front ends like gitg.

Good luck to you. Wish we could be of more help here, but I'm personally unfamiliar, and it looks like most others are here.

 

Introduction to some interesting Flatpak applications

 

While Red Hat is the primary sponsor of the Fedora and CentOS Projects, internally, there is a bit of a split-brain syndrome where we separate our sponsorshi...

I have the same Logitech keyboard, but I don't recommend it. The touchpad has no multitouch and scrolls terribly. For what we paid for it, you'd think it would be better than that. Beautiful design and solid feel otherwise though.

The fact that you need a group policy to turn this kind of garbage off is ridiculous.

 

Given all the interest this week in Firefox outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider, I decided to run some fresh Linux desktop web browser benchmarks on my end

It just depends on how isolated that part of the kernel is. Unsafe code should be done only in interop, and so it still theoretically has a memory safety benefit over C in that sense.

In terms of how much interop code needs to be written for Rust at this point is another discussion though.

 

The SUSE organization has changed hands many times over the years..

You could decrypt a GPG key-based file to do that.

 

TransFLAC is a command-line application that will convert FLAC audio files to lossy formats at a specified quality level.

 

A while back, we had some Red Hat resources diverted, namely Bastien Nocera, from working on desktop-oriented projects. Just wanted to pass along the new developers who have stepped in throughout that time's announcement.

We owe a big thanks to these guys for picking-up the torch.

I can attest that this also helped me as well. Thank you!

Well, there are limits to the updates. It's not quite like a rolling release in that some software will get minor release updates, but not major ones (like GNOME is frozen on version 43 for Fedora 37 and 44 on 38 respectively). The software that typically gets major updates are the kernel and applications. So it's basically a range of updates.

Once the release goes out of support, it won't get any updates either. In a rolling release, you have no actual versioning of the distro itself, and it can perpetually go on with updates forever. That's not going to happen in Fedora Linux. You still have major point releases of the distro itself.

Yep. Packages get backported for supported versions. So basically right now, it's Fedora Linux 37 and 38. Our "testing branch" is Fedora Rawhide.

Didn't you see the slave labor clause in there? You're indebted for at least 3 decades when you start a new GPL project.

power-profiles-daemon is now archived? Dammit, that was a big one for Fedora.
