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

@lproven "Fedors is not "Wayland first" any more than anything else. _Desktops_ may be, distros are not."

I should have specified "Fedora Workstation." I hope it was clear that brevity forced some liberty here. But I appreciate your response!

@lproven When I was using desktop Linux most heavily, I LOVED Xfce. But it doesn't support Wayland at all yet (mostly).

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

@jbqueru Hey JBQ - just curious, did you guys move?

@appleinsider Remember that B&H has a NO RETURNS policy, so beware of anything you purchase from them. I ended up having to keep something that we would’ve otherwise exchanged for a more expensive model. Instead, I’ll never buy from them again.

@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!
