    And now I’m on fedora 39 kinoite because I like the immutable image-based features such as being able to build my own images in the cloud and being able to roll back to any previous version if something messes up in an upgrade. And also I have more control over what software is installed on the host system because it’s all written in my Dockerfile so if I want to uninstall something and all of its dependencies, I’m just gonna remove it from the Dockerfile.

    @Pantherina
    There is a free subscription for RHEL for individuals.

    And I think it’s less of an issue nowadays with old packages since we have extra layers such as podman containers over distrobox, flatpak, snap, Nix etc.
    Then you can have a solid base OS with less solid layers on top where things are allowed to break but don’t mess with the rest of the system. I use Fedora Kinoite as my base for this exact reason.

    @ulterno
    For which cases did you need cake for example?

    My base OS is Fedora Kinoite and I’m considering have AlmaLinux in a podman container for some applications and tools. Replacing it every year because fedora is eol is too often in my opinion.

    Hasn’t Kate been replaced by an upgraded Kwrite or is Kate still maintained?







  • @Pantherina i use fedora kinoite and yeah it’s really awesome! new packages and a safe system.

    I wanted to use Fedora CoreOS on my server but no providers offer it so I ended up installing AlmaLinux instead. But yeah the ignition file setup is really painful. tried in a vm but never managed to get everything i wanted. i’m gonna stick with enterprise linux until they make it easier, i think
