Oh yeah that would be great. I hope it’s really coming🤞

Yeah you can be proud of your city for such a thing.

Je vis à Genève et j’adorerais qu’on suive votre chemin en la matière.

My girlfriend’s 2012 MacBook Pro is also running Fedora like a beast with its upgraded 16GB or Ram and its SSD.

It’s great that old hardware gets a bew chance to shine!

• AppIndicator and Kstatusnotifieritem Support
• Auto move Windows
• Maximized By Default Reborn (doesn’t work on some of my apps which open at the start of every session)
• Tiling Assistant

I love Gnome stock but I really think these should be there by default.

I’ve also learned to wait a few months after each new version of Fedora as the extensions always need time to become compatible.

Sometimes I’m intrigued by how much I could recreate what I love in Gnome in KDE.

It might be your reality but it’s clearly not mine.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve rewatched Alien or Terminator.

So yes it’s true that I’m using Netflix more than my DVD’s, but I’ll watch a lot of these movies again for sure.

Also, despite the low resolution, DVD’s now have some kind of charm in their picture quality and it’s perfectly good enough for me.

But, of course, someone who doesn’t enjoy cinema the way I do shouldn’t be going through such a hassle.

Interesting. I didn’t know about it.

It’s clever, but they should have used this money to make discs more durable instead😇

I’ve found my happiness with MakeMKV for the DVD’s at least.

I’ll see how I’ll proceed with the Blurays in the future, but I don’t have any other Bluray player except my Playstation 3-4-5 for now.

I guess I’ll use Make MKV Beta as it seems to work well and VLC can open the MKV files. Thanks for your help!

But then would I be able to read them on any computer without burning them?

I think it should be possible to still run Linux on almost every 25 years old computer.

If the computer is older than this, it really becomes a piece of history and I can accept that it’d take efforts from the user to keep it in use, just like a collection car.

I only hope no bricking update is gonna be proposed to the people running such old hardware. The distribution should check if the hardware is compatible with a newer kernel before updating.

Still I think it’s important that Linux remains the OS of choice for old hardware and that the some distros remain deficated to these museum pieces.

Well I think Tuxedo computers would work easily with any other distribution. It’s not based on anything factual but I guess we would have heard a lot of bad things about Tuxedo if they were acting like this.

From the little I know, they have some aditional stuff with Tuxedo OS, but they are also trying to get it added to the Linux kernel.

If course I would want to be corrected if I’m wrong as my knowledge is kind of limited.

Franework isn’t even available in my country (switzerland) so I guess it’ll be difficult to find refurbished ones in the EU.

I remember being stressed when I deactivated the S mode on my Surface Go 1 as if I was about to make a big mistake😅

That was way before (re)discovering Linux and installing Fedora on it.

Oh I love Gnome too. It’s 95% perfect and I ain’t sure I can find better.

Yeah I should clearly wait more before upgrading. I kind of know it’s, but I keep repeating the same mistake😅

Still, at one point, I might try to reproduce what I love about Gnome (1 window per workspace and the ability to switch between them) in KDE.

This is really annoying.

I’m trying to use as little extensions as possible so I only use 4. 2 out of them haven’t upgraded to 48 yet and aren’t usable for now.

This is especially annoying because I’m trying to respect Gnomés philosophy with my extensions…

I’m curious about your experience with a M1 Mac on Linux. Are you using Asahi Linux then?

Because it took me a few years to create my perfect Fedora workstation installation.

If one days it becomes bricked, I’d probably switch to an immitable distribution, but I’m sticking with workstation as long as it works.

Also there is no real upside to switching for me.

The article was really interesting and made me appreciate everything Valve has brought to the Linux ecosystem.

It’s also why, once I’ll have a Steam Deck in a few months, I’ll probably buy my games on Steam instead of GOG even if game preservation is important to me.

For image backups I use Clonezilla.

It works well but I don’t know how easily you could take an image from one computer to a different one. I tried once and it didn’t work because of Legacy Bios issues…still I guess it works between two modern computers.

I’d love if something like this was implemented directly in a distribution for ease of use.
