I'm now fairly sure I'll be switching my main #Linux machine (a quite elderly Thinkpad X1 Carbon) from #Fedora to #MXLinux.

Reasons:

1. Fedora has jumped firmly on the #AI bandwagon recently with its "AI Developer Desktop" abominations, and my inference is that the Fedora codebase and ecosystem will end up as untrustable slop.
[EDIT: but see comments below]

2. Fedora has also accepted financial sponsorship from #AWS, #Microsoft and #Meta for its current #Flock conference; not only that but #today it has unironically praised Meta here on Mastodon.

MX, meanwhile, is doing neither of those things. MX also gives me a chance to try #KDE #Plasma without #systemd to see if that's practical.

@drewph on meta, microsoft etc: well, one way to look at it is that they are going to use Fedora and base stuff on Fedora no matter what. it's F/OSS. nobody can stop them. is it better that they use it and give nothing in return, or that they use it and give us some money and help to build stuff? those are really the only choices.
