I’m honestly more scared of portainer than actually running compose from CLI 🤣

I fail to understand the question mark at the end of your sentence.

Winblows 10 did the exact same bitlocker crap to my best friend and attorney.

My case is the other way around. I look for software in the store, and if I can’t find it, then I install from the terminal, but I always update (and remove) from terminal. I’m a diehard Gnome user, but this will certainly make me move to something else.

Now, in flatpak’s defense, it’s great to keep browsers away from my system, as well as some other inconsequential apps that have no business integrating with my system. I like flatpak’s for these use cases. Everything else, I need my RPMs.

For example, Apple has cared about their developers as customers.

Only if by “customers” you are referring to how they constantly find new ways to fuck you over.

All I have to say is: welcome, good luck and have fun.

It is no riskier than any other reverse proxy or tunneling app. If you follow good opsec, you should be fine. In truth there is no bulletproof way to avoid intrusion, so do the best you can without completely doing away with convenience.

Gnome. Love how it just gets out of the way and let’s me do whatever I want without interruptions.

ElGato is famous for just not working on Linux.

I converted our whole congregation to Linux, and we use a BlackMagic ATEM for streaming over OBS:

At first we started with a cheap single input capture card and it worked great:

Or like Fedora (and I’m sure more distros) nicely asks you if you want to update in a user initiated restart or shutdown, and if you say yes it does just that and updates to restart or shut down. My memories with Windows are having to remain in front of the computer to make sure I can turn it off after it reboots multiple times to update.

You’re so nice. Here they have deserved a C- for at least the last 5 years, and declined to a D during the last 2.

You must be the one person I’ve ever seen saying that. I remember up to windows 7 and some time with 10 that updates would just wait for you (assuming you configured it to wait) and I would update when ready to shit down. But I’ve seen 10/11 just kick people out over an update way too many times to know it’s. I configured my wife’s computer to not update at all unless I actively told it to, and it she woke up to windows 11 one day (which I appreciate because that was the trigger for her to love to Fedora, lol).

IKEA has a nice offer on new Fedora and Debian spins 🤣🤣

Yeah, KDE’s customization is overwhelming in my opinion. I like my OS like I like my boss: “support me, get out of my way, and let me do my work”. Gnome does exactly that.

They work on any other distro I’ve tried. OpenSUSE is the only one that never gets an address. Static or DHCP, doesn’t make a difference. I’ll try again with your suggestion from a USB drive, since I don’t remember all the things I tried that did nothing to help. Thanks.

Could be. What blows my mind is that both my PC and laptop work on Fedora, PopOS, Endeavour, and Bazzite out of the box, but network is fully broken, LAN and WiFi.

Yeah, I’m basically married to Fedora at this point.

Could that be my issue? I’ve always done Gnome. WiFi is always broken. Network in general really.
