I'm kind off dissapointed in the discourse here tbh (like with a lot of Fedora stuff among other things). Black and white thinking and bad faith takes are more common on GoL comment sections nowadays, which unfortunately makes the whole place less welcoming imo.

Personally, I think people are being quite harsh and unconstructive when they write of the distro after this decision, especially when they are still in the process of finding a solution. Critisizing them for making a SIG is really confusing to me, why would it be a bad thing to bring a attention to it?

We're talking about FOSS software here, most people are doing this work in their free time and nobody's perfect, and I can imagine that people get frustrated. If we look at the forum discussion, the moderator was trying to move the discussion back to something constructive. That's not the same as "toxic positivity" imo.

I have been using Fedora for years now, and it is generally quite stable, I think they're doing a pretty good job, especially considering they're at the leading edge of package versions.

I agree with ssj17vegata on the AI thing. It is an interesting reason to switch distro because of the reasons mentioned. Another reason is that this is about how contributers choose to program the code: it has zero impact on your user experience, it is not like they are inclusing an LLM in the distro itself. Besides that, I personally find LLMs very usefull and I see many developers around me who can leverage it effectively to make quality code faster/more easily. Not everyone uses it to vibe code you know. People are very black and white on AI, especially in the FOSS space, but it has it's advantages too.

That said, I do question why KDE installed Dolphin as a Flatpak rather than baking it into the OS image. In my opinion, the file manager is best installed as a native package.

As far as I understand it, one of the goals is to improve the quality of KDE Flatpaks, so it might be on purpose

Thank you @Eike for mentioning Wero! I was just about to post how it is a shame we don't have a European-wide "Ideal"-like system but apperantly, we are getting one for at least a few countries. Let's hope they expand it to most if not all Euro countries. Amazing!

I think I am slowly seeing a more logistical or exponential growth instead of linear growth for the first time, but it is too early to say based just on the graph. Anecdotally, it does line up though. Let's hope it is the case.

Eh? Microsoft doesn't own Unity?

My bad, you are right: Microsoft doesn't own Unity. They are always so prominently displayed on dotnet documentation I figured they were. Still funny that a game engine that prominently features C# as it's main language is less up-to-date than one where it is not the main one.

I still find it hillarious that Godot has a fairly up-to-date C# version when Microsofts own Unity still runs Mono.

I always thought the reason for Fedora Flatpaks was to have a broader range of apps on the image-based repos when there were not a lot of apps on Flathub yet.

FYI: Next, time if you are looking to auto translate an article, you might want to look into Deepl. Their translations are bit more natural and it isn't from Google.

If the app has been updated to go direct to PipeWire it may not work yet.

What does "direct to Pipewire" mean here? Does it mean no Pipewire support at all or something else?
