I am out of loop here, why do you say so?

Ubuntu in last years have done some anti-user things, like enforcing firefox as snap, data collection and ads.

I've installed Bazzite fedora spin, and are waiting for 6.14 to enable my new Npu.

Not in a hurry, but does anyone know how long it takes on average for kernel updates to be ready for the spin-off's ? The process seems very automated, so it may not take very long ?

Still Systemd?

Thank god yes.

Keep your init scripts. Unit files are so much cleaner.

Oof. Lack of X makes FC41 my last one, I guess.

Doesn't Fedora have like an Xfce spin or something else with X11?

You can also just go swap to X on KDE or Gnome I'm fairly sure. Like its just a radio button on the login screen iirc

Fedora is removing X11 support, at least for the GNOME version. I think that's what the OP was talking about.

Oh dang. I did not see that, my bad

What issues do you run into with Wayland?

mholiv@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

Out of curiosity. What X11 features are you missing in a Wayland system?
