  • Stepping into the labyrinth of Linux distros, are we? It’s like choosing your first pet, and equally as exhilarating (and can be as much work for the first time owner).

    I’d say, cozy up with Ubuntu ( a current daily Arch and openSUSE user myself).

    Why, you ask? Let me paint you a picture.

    Imagine Ubuntu as a Labrador - friendly, accommodating, and doesn’t chew up your furniture (or in this case, your patience).

    First off, Ubuntu’s UI is intuitive and user-friendly. It’s like it holds your hand through the twilight zone of the terminal. Also, it’s well-documented, with a vibrant community ready to assist when you hit a snag. And here’s the cherry on top - it’s Debian-based. This means a massive software repository, making installations a breeze. So you can spend more time enjoying the Linux landscape, and less time wrestling with software dependencies.

    So while it isn’t perfect (or everyones cup of tea), I still believe it provides th easiest out-of-the-box experience for new Linux users.

    As you grow in confidence, feel free to explore the wilder breeds. 😉 Happy journey!



  • The way I see it, it’s like putting a velvet rope around the buffet. Annoying? Yes. A deal-breaker for your beloved Fedora? Not quite.

    You see, Fedora is the free, community-driven sibling in the Redhat family. Its code base will remain open and accessible, so no need to mourn its loss just yet.

    So, should you abandon ship? Only if you find Fedora’s hat no longer fits. But if you’re a fan of its cutting-edge nature and ease of use, I’d say sit tight. In the tumultuous world of tech, change is the only constant.

    Just remember to keep your life jacket handy. 😉
