From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That's why I moved to fedora recently...didn't like to see 30 or so mounted filesystems every time I did an fdisk -l to mount some disk
Luckily Debian is upstream of Ubuntu.
Fedora is actually my main on my other machines. This is my server though. I've tried fedora server in the past, but it wasnt quite working for what I needed it for at the time. And now, I don't have time to rebuild =\
Sure..I wouldnt choose fedora for a server..maybe RHEL..I chose debian for my home server..can't go wrong with debian in the server 😅
Why would you server fedora when RHEL exists? Still, debian is prolly a better choice.
and why would you use rhel when you can have rocky :D
I'm not necessarily endorsing Fedora Server, but I'm running it on my Plex server since Fedora is the other distro officially supported by Plex (besides Ubuntu) and after I had some issues with Ubuntu Server + Plex I switched to it. Haven't had any issues since.
@fernandu00 @terminhell I mean a simple grep to filter them out could have sufficed and then that could be aliased but yeah makes sense. Also zsys and their half assed ZFS integration made no sense.
You're right.. But I don't have an ssd in my machine and didn't want tons of mounted filesystems in my 10 year old machine..I'm far from an expert but seems to me that is simpler to have all my packages from dnf or apt ..I've changed to fedora because dnf seemed better than apt resolving dependencies ..not just because of the snap thing
