The actual community boards and such are independent of Red Hat otherwise.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to add in the main post that I’ve researched that too. I know about FESCo and I understand what you’re saying about it being kind of a counter-weight to Red Hat. But there is a pretty big problem:

Out of 9 current FESCo board members, 6 are Red Hat employees, one of them is an ex-Red Hat employee, which leaves only 2 members that are not affiliated with Red Hat. Now, I understand that there’s probably not some big conspiracy there, I assume it’s just that their job at RH allows them to work on Fedora a lot more than anyone else, and in turn, they’re chosen for the board because their contributions will usually be very noticeable. But at the end of the day, I think there is a conflict of interest there. When faced with a heavy choice, do you stand with your employer who puts food on your table or a community of strangers that doesn’t really give you real life benefits?

At the end of the day, Nobara is pretty much a one-man hobby project. Sure, there is a small community around it nowadays but even then, if the main developer decides to drop it, they’d have hard time keeping up. That’s why I’m usually hesitant to recommend these types of distributions and I’d rather recommend something tried and tested with a big community build over many years.

It’s yet another step in the worrying trend of tearing down the current update system on Android. It feels like Google is cutting down everything else just so they can put more resources into AI.

You don’t like having a toggle to turn off AI?

I see a lot of comments saying that it’s a good thing but I feel like people needlessly hate new OS versions because of Windows versions and extrapolate it to Android too. Meanwhile, every new Android release is bringing a lot of great features, improving both privacy and security. Just to mention a few, we got:

-Private space

-better permission control

-Granular permissions for photo/video access in apps

-background apps restrictions

-a toggle to disable 2G

And probably a lot more.

Unless it’s opus.

It’s this one:

i have win 11 on one of my laptops and I saw this issue. I do a lot of alt-tabbing and it made me go crazy because almost every time that happened, i’d have to minimize my browser and open it again or the webpage (and the browser ui) wouldn’t render correctly.

There is currently an ongoing isssue with Chromium/Electron rendering being almost-unusable with VRR. It was first reported almost a year ago. Microsoft doesn’t care enough to fix it. But hey, at least you get Copilot so it can tell you what registry tweak you have to add to fix it yourself!

ABSØLVE looks fun. I’ll see how well it works on Steam Deck.

I feel like I’m seeing “we finally fixed wifi and bluetooth on pixel devices” every other month.

we built Shield for ourselves

Obviously. Had they built it for consumers, they’d stop supporting it after a year or two.

For me it’s pretty simple:
-older hardware/no need for up to date packages - Debian
-new hardware, needs up-to-date software - Arch
And that’s it. Though obviously, you can also use flatpak if you truly need newer versions of software. Personally I have arch on my gaming PC + Debian on my multimedia-consumption laptop.
