I kept hearing about Fedora… so I decided to dig deeper.😀

What I found challenged a few assumptions I had about Linux and open source.

I broke it all down in a short, easy-to-read blog post—perfect if you're exploring tech or just getting started.

Force push rpms/llvm-test-suite to remove large file

## Describe the issue Commit https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/llvm-test-suite/c/73609eba259b6d15d7a4ac110fe0b0d0a57c4b50 on the rawhide branch accidentally included a 160MB source tarball as part of dist-git. This results in a 320MB git repository. Cloning this from Fedora's slow dist-git in...

Dylan "I read the law and I'm here to implement it" M. Tylor gets up in the morning and decides to write age verification code that he himself calls "hilariously pointless and ineffective", within a week strikes 4 repos off his list, and i bet the Linux Kernel is going to be next (I'm joking... mostly)

It's worth noting that the first people who approved the PR on systemd repo are 2 big tech employees - Mircoslop and Redhat/IBM (why I'm i not surprised!!), someone then opened a revert PR, Lennart Poettering (systemd creator) closed it.. thus blocking the removal

And this is why you now have Liberated Systemd, a fork of systemd without Age verification.. which IS 'hilariously pointless and ineffective' at saving children

when engineers starts reading the law like a specification, this is what you get.. useful idiots.

OK, that's IT. NO MORE distro hopping, #Fedora #XFCE is IT, the only one for me. I am NOT BUDGING. Unless... I determine that I can do without #MacOS on my MacBook. Then maybe I will give #AsahiLinux a spin...

JSFX on Fedora Linux: an ultra-fast audio prototyping engine - Fedora Magazine

Introduction Writing a real-time audio plugin on Linux often conjures up images of a complex environment: C++, toolchains, CMake, CLAP / VST3 / LV2 SDK, ABI… However, there is a much simpler approach : JSFX This article offers a practical introduction to JSFX and YSFX on Fedora Linux: we’ll write some small examples, add a graphical […]

Just completed my first Outreachy 2026 task setting up RamaLama

Here's what I did:
- Installed RamaLama 0.18.0 on macOS
- Pulled models using ollama:// and huggingface:// transports
- Tested Fedora-specific questions
Both models got the answers wrong which is exactly why RAG exists!

RamaLama makes running AI models "boring" in the best way possible.
One command and you're up and running.
