@itsfoss Saddened by the impending addition of "AI" to Fedora though 😢. Guess I'll be a tumbling tumbleweed going forward.

@Thorium @itsfoss oh no, what is it another "very smart" chatbot?

@duckz @itsfoss Not very clear at present: https://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2025/02/03/looking-ahead-at-2025-and-fedora-workstation-and-jobs-on-offer/
Looking ahead at 2025 and Fedora Workstation and jobs on offer!

So a we are a little bit into the new year I hope everybody had a great break and a good start of 2025. Personally I had a blast having gotten the kids an air hockey table as a Yuletide present :). Anyway, wanted to put this blog post together talking about what we are...

@Thorium @duckz @itsfoss Oh, what a shame. I guess you just can't trust any software that's made by a company these days.

@Thorium @itsfoss if you switch to opensuse I recommend looking at https://software.opensuse.org/
Might find some programs that have issues to run otherwise
personally, switched to Slowroll, because fedora had some issues with things I used. It works well and even has newer mesa than Fedora (which I like)

@Thorium It was bound to happen. All three major OS are controlled by corporations. Apple Microsoft and IBM/RedHat.

@Thorium @itsfoss May I suggest Manjaro for your consideration? Rolling release, easy to install and use, and is as complex as only you desire.

Oh, it's based on Arch, by the way

I wouldn't put high hopes on openSUSE regarding this. During the time I was still using it, I was subscribed to their feeds and there would frequently be posts about using oS for AI and monthly reports using awful AI-generated pictures as banners.
