I still don’t see how having the choice is a bad thing. If you don’t like Red Hats position, then don’t use Fedora. For those that believe using Fedora will help better the Open Source ecosystem, they have the ability to do so.
Getting rid of a choice completely because you don’t agree with a position in a nuanced conversation seems childish
Why would this be a good thing at all? One of the main goals of the ecosystem is to have multiple choices, and as others in this thread has mentioned, Fedoras made significant progress for the adoption of Linux as a whole
Thanks for this. I’m on 1440p so hopefully the performance will be a bit better. The A770 seems like it has great price to performance though, making it one of the top spots on my list.
Glad to hear that support is solid on Arch
Hilarious that these subscription companies learned nothing from the cable industry that they’re disrupting
Appreciate it. It sounds like with the new announcement they’re putting quite a bit of support behind it so I’m optimistic improvements are made quickly
Exactly. This is classic strategy for first movers. Once you hold the market, use legislation to dig your moat.
I was kinda bored for this announcement. I have a M2 Pro MBP for work and I really have no desire to get anything faster.
I was hoping for a new iPad Mini announcement
I’m in this camp as well - I personally don’t think that the Fedora distro will see much of an impact. From what I can tell, it’s still in their best interest to ensure that Fedora receives the community support that it always has. That said, like I mentioned in the OP, I get why they made this move for the company.
We’ll just have to wait and see whether their Fedora support will continue. The great thing about Linux is the choice, though. So if there ever comes a time where Fedora’s no longer pro consumer, there’s always Arch and Debian.
Yeah I believe the primary problem (from the community) is that the telemetry was proposed to be default opt-out. Meaning the default choice is opted in.

Helix looks cool - haven’t heard of this. Definitely will try it out!
I’ve used this a bit - it’s pretty nice, especially if you’re working in a team. You can share “notebooks” (basically lists of commands and workspaces) with your teammates. But I wouldn’t use it personally. The fact that it makes you register with an email gave me pause during onboarding.
This is my experience as well. I went back to Arch after trying NixOS for a few weeks. I just ended up spending way too much time tinkering with the system instead of using it. Also, I feel like a major advantage to nixos is only viable if you have multiple machines. I only have a main desktop.
