Who the fuck announces a product on a Sunday? They must not have much hope this will sell…

Longer support windows with LTS? I could see some people or industries sticking with a particular LTS in order to keep particular pieces of software running.

Otherwise, I agree, why bother.

I wonder if updates between Ubuntu versions break with all these changes.

You can’t, it just part of how Fedora works now. Maybe Fedora should patch Dolphin to take /sysroot into account instead of /

Fedora Atomic Desktop 42 switched to composefs, which has a small full partition mounted to /. Your “real” filesystem is mounted on /sysroot

I remember quite well burning an Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD, and before that trying an ancient Knoppix Live CD that my dad had laying in a drawer. I must have been 15 back then.

There’s an issue on Bazzite’s repo asking for new-lg4ff and other kernel modules to be added. While the issue is still open, it describes a workaround^[1][2] but it requires building the DKMS module and layering it on top of Bazzite on every kernel update.

Edit: re-reading your post and Oversteer’s README your wheel should be supported by the default kernel, I’m not sure new-lg4ff will fix your issue (and the latter does not list the G920). The issue must be somewhere else. I wish I could help you, but I have yet to try Assetto Corsa and Dirt Rally with my Driving Force GT on Bazzite.

I haven’t used an immutable distro, but if it’s a problem, I’m sure that there’s a way to defeat the immutability. If it just mounts the root filesystem read-only, then

# mount -o remount,rw /

Will probably do it.

It will work until the next reboot (and I believe it won’t work on Fedora 42 as it now uses composefs), on Fedora Atomic Desktops you have to use layers to add additional packages using rpm-ostree

(Edit: formatting)

Oh, that makes sense.

The fuck is “non-tariff cheating” supposed to mean?

It’s like regular Fedora KDE, except that it avoids this problem of traces of past experiments everywhere.

Kinoite is much more than that: it is an atomic and immutable spin of Fedora KDE. This has big implications but the gist of it is that:

1. You can roll back to any previous version if anything breaks

2. The base system cannot be modified

3. If you need to install RPM packages, you do that by adding “layers” on top of the base system, and these can be removed if needed to go back to a clean base system

4. You can switch from one spin to another by “rebasing”, but it is recommended that you remove any additional layer first and that you stick to the same desktop environment

My experience on other distros was that upgrading in place a system that deviated too much from “stock” would wreck the install. I would personally play it safe and backup my home folder and do a fresh install.

Just don’t forget to test your backup before formatting your drive!

Terraform is part of a movement called “Infrastructure as Code” (IaC) which allows engineers to define their cloud infrastructure using code.

This is extremely useful as it allows you to:

• version infrastructure changes

• automate resource and configuration creation and management

• have reproducible environments (think production and staging envs, or deploying a new production env to another datacenter)

Terraform (and OpenTofu) is different to most IaC project as it is agnostic of cloud providers: you can use it to deploy infrastructure to multiple providers, where their competitors are limited to their own platform (I think of AWS’s Cloud Development Kit)

Someone should create a leaderboard of websites sharing data with the most “partners”, this week I saw someone on Mastodon posting a screenshot of a website sharing to 1700+ third-parties.
