Agree; Gnome on Fedora is just more polished in general than Gnome anywhere else. So sasy to add another language and that input language works everywhere including Flatpak apps Qt apps, etc. Fedora is winning me over in this regard and I've kind of been a Red Hat hater these days.

  • Pwm flicker should be regulated on all LED devices, from smartphones to household bulbs and car turn signals.
  • Price displayed is exactly what you pay. With tax, no credit card or smartphone surcharge or "cash discount"
  • Tip screen on POS cash registers is displayed before you swipe/tap your card, not afterward.

The theme to Star Trek IV. Underrated.

Also like the Klingon theme.

Best Trek movie.

I can not answer your question regarding vegan communities, but I lived in Ecuador for many years and started a family there. The best thing I miss about Ecuador is something called chocho which is a pure protein bean that everyone snacks on. It is regionally specific to Ecuador since I never found them in Colombia.

So during your trip, give it a try. You can mix with chulpi, which is dried salted maize.

After 26 years of using Linux, I did my first baremetal "immutable" distro install last week.

My youngest son is starting school and instead of the Chromebooks that they recommend, I took a chance and installed Fedora Silverblue on a $200 Lenovo "student-rugged" class laptop. Everything works and he hasn't had any issues so far. He gets access to the same student platform as the other students through Chrome, but then I can install Minetest and Tux Paint and GCompris as well.

The older kids run Debian stable for years now, but if this works out, I might transition them over next semester.

I love the old Mac Pros and even built a trashcan setup for Debian a few years ago. But TBH, they use a lot of electricity for the processing power they provide. If you already have one or can get one for free, great, use it. Linux runs great. But I wouldn't go to OWC and buy something that would be outperformed by a fanless, low TDP machine these days.

They don't have a choice. About a third of Jakarta is already below sea level. It's sinking fast and the rains are becoming heavier and unprecedented more often. About a quarter of the city will be underwater in 25 years.

It's a gamble. Design a new planned city with 60% rainforest now and in 75 years it will be a new metropolis but better thought out and with sustainability in mind while other cities fall into the ocean.

Yes. At one employer, we had an entire domain in our AD forest that was Red Hat / CentOS / Ubuntu workstations for the developers.
