My journey into rediscovering the #Linux desktop, and trying to find the right distro

đť’śdam đť’®cheinberg // sethadam1Mar 2

I’ve been a Linux user for ~27 years now. I started in ~1999 with Red Hat 7 (not RHEL, RHL) and it was my *full time* desktop OS for 2+ years with Mandrake Linux around 2003. I’ve tried dozens of distros, I know my way around. Eventually I moved to macOS and I’ve been here ever since. I’ve used Linux consistently since then, but mostly just on servers, no desktop, no GUI - Debian-based the whole time. I’ve run Ubuntu in some form since literally 4.04.

Here’s my question: I just picked up a refurb laptop to run desktop Linux again. I considered:

Ubuntu, Mint, KDE Neon, Omarchy, Pop_OS, Elementary, Fedora Silverblue

But I def want Wayland, a solid package manager, and a good library of available software. Not married to flatpack, deb, or snap.

But I think I’m going to go with plain ol Fedora Workstation. I love Ubuntu and apt, but think Fedora just looks awesome and it’s Wayland first. Thoughts?

A Happy 28th Birthday!
Happy 28th Birthday to you all - well us, but mostly you. As a small token of thanks for continuing to let us do what we do, feel free to download a copy of the recent birthday show on us.

It is hard to believe we are still doing this 28 years later, after our debut at Bridget McGuire's Filling Station in South Bend. (Yes, the power went out during the first song. And yes, we played a second encore

@panic @cabel Is there any chance you guys might offer a Transmit 5 update that simply updates the Dock icon so that it's Tahoe compatible? It's one of two icons I've still got stuck in squircle jail. Thanks for considering it!

@overcastfm Hey Marco, on the latest TestFlight beta, some links on the Info for Podcasters page don't work. Can't get to Forecast or "display ads," icon, logo, privacy, etc. iPhone 17 Pro, iOS 26 GM.

You know, I could write a whole blog post about this—and I might—but I think we need to start addressing the very likely possibility that the *entire thesis* that “UI should get out of the way” and “apps should focus on content” is wrong.

Apps aren’t just for looking at photos or videos. They’re for navigating through these things, organizing them, editing them. The tools to do those things should not get out of the way. They should be clearly defined and separate from the content.

This month's @atpfm member special, School: Then and Now, is probably the best ATP episode in the last two years. Really good insights and stuff that truly made my reflect on my kids' experiences. Highly recommend.

Well, since @panic isn't responding to support emails, and doesn't respond on their dev board, and doesn't respond to Reddit posts, and doesn't update their first-class, amazing editor Nova, I guess it's time I recognize that I need to move on. Such a shame, Nova is just a beautiful app. I plan use Cursor for coding, but I need a recommendation for a replacement Mac native SFTP client. Forklift seems pretty great. Anyone have any thoughts?

Hopefully this photo become an iconic symbol—a turning point that historians will forever recall as the moment putin's power crumbled and his russian empire fell, akin the images that immortalized the fall of the Berlin Wall.
