Any idea how it’d look if broken down into distros? I’m assuming enterprise support would be favoured so Red Hat or Ubuntu would dominate?

I’m not convinced that immutable distros are beginner friendly yet.

Nobody has mentioned immutables yet?!

I finally dipped my toes into trying a new distro over the summer and have been really impressed with Project Bluefin. All the familiarity of Gnome for existing Ubuntu or Debian users but with a completely hands off rolling update experience.

The main drawbacks are the slight complexity of how the fuck to install stuff on an immutable system. In theory you use Homebrew for CLI apps and flatpak for GUI apps but I’m really not a fan of installing from sources other than the original dev.

I shared my personal experience and you turned it into a distro war.

My original comment was pointing out this entire post is an unnecessary distro war. Except now WSL is the battleground. It’s so unnecessary. I’m genuinely surprised anyone gives a shit about WSL.

People using WSL tend not to be total newbies and may well run into real issues (such as the ones that prompted me to switch), thanks to snap.

OK, that’s a different assumption to me. I kinda presume anyone toying with WSL is one of their early experiences with Linux.

My experience was if you’re fiddling enough with WSL that you’re running into issues then you may as well ditch Windows and move to Linux.

Hence arguing over which WSL distro someone is using is irrelevant. You’re better of persuading them to try dual booting Linux instead.

I’m pretty sure a year ago there was a set of users claiming systemd was the worst thing to happen to Linux since snap.

So why are you advising to change the default install of Debian to include it?

Every recipe that works for Ubuntu works for Debian,

May as well just install Ubuntu then.

For the cutting edge 2% of new stuff, newbies are increasingly better off on Debian.

Citation needed. Pretty sure this is either personal opinion or anti-canonical, anti-snap ideology.

Targeting WSL users with this rhetoric is ridiculous. If you want to tailor your own systems outside the norm then sure go ahead but claiming things will be easier for a newbie by running specific commands they don’t have the context or expertise to comprehend is absurd.

Why the new account? Did your last account get banned from spamming posts from your own blog?

if you encounter problems just search online or ask AI, it’s fairly simple

Good luck with that. All the answers are going to assume WSL is using Ubuntu.

Why do Linux advocates try so desperately to overcomplicate things?

Can’t you you just be satisfied a Windows using is experimenting with Linux. Why does it have to be your ideological strain of Linux they use.

The latest budget included the funding to Euston.

Poppies and the very embodiment of virtue signalling. I hate that every panelist on BBC shows is forced to wear a fresh one. It’s ridiculous and makes the entire effort meaningless. All because Mildred up the road will have a hissy fit on Points of View if somebody forgets.

I hope this was a private school. The idea that the state system would be so insanely discriminatory is insane.

Not necessarily. An insurrection might overthrow the maintainers before they can push the release

Docker might be solution here.

But from my experience most python scripts are absolute junk. The barrier for entry is low so there’s a massive disparity in quality.

Lemmy is so insanely anti company. I agree with being pro open source but the hissy fit people threw when one repo changed one thing was insane.

Bloody lib dems at it again.

I hadn’t appreciated OP was just spamming links to their own blog

This is hardly politics and has been covered endlessly in tech communities.

.io domains aren’t going anywhere. There are too many of them to safely migrate in a reasonable timeframe and too much core infrastructure is tied to them.

Both GitHub and Rust use .io for core infrastructure.

They might close registration of new domains but not renewals

There have been so many announcements that a release candidate of a release will be coming out /soon/. It’s utterly pointless non-news.

Please can this drivel be banished.

Wait until 3.0.0 is actually released and then post it for discussion.

Nah, unfortunately it’s been fed stack overflow. So instead of having a wealth of alternative solutions to a problem it just tells you your question is a duplicate and refuses to help.

I’ve found that just asking “did you make that up again?” after every response improves the quality of code Chat GPT produces. It seems to pick up fairly quickly on methods it just invented.
