I know what you meant but its kinda funny to say “I want to mess with an immutable distro” 😀

Yeah that name would suck 😀 As I wrote in previous answer, I really like Plutonium just like that.

Aha, I get it. And I like that its kinda nerdy. I dont think majority of the people will get it though. Just Plutonium would be fine, sounds actually real good and I think searching for plutonium os should be distinct enough (given the fact plutonium is not an element of everyday life). However if you still insist on the shorthand, what I saw people do, have a paragraph explaining what the shortcut means and how to call the os. Something like “the p-239 stands for plutonium and that is what we call the os - Plutonium” or variant of that. Maybe have it on the homepage even as a part of some baner or simly as second or third element under header. And it can also link to the full story (that it was a codename at first…)

Why the name? I find distros with these names that are hard to say annoying to speak about, so I would suggest better name. Something short, catchy and easy to say for people with different languages. But don’t make it too general either so that it is also easy to search for.

In current climate? I’d say almost the opposite, get 16 gigz of RAM and only add more if you really need it or if it gets cheaper. You can add ram any time, it’s the beauty of a desktop pc builds.

Imho they are first and foremost entertainment. If you take it as such, it’s fun. Although as others mentioned it has a bit downward tendency. I think Linus, Luke and others are intelligent, reasonable people and that makes it easier to stick to watching them. True that Linus is sometimes impatient, we all saw his Linux challenges 😅 but they are ok

Guilty until proven otherwise? I think in civilized society its the other way around, right?

I always had too many bugs on Ubuntu. Fedora has been solid from the beginning. Only ever had two issues with it in 4 years. I never had such stable experience before.

Ah, makes sense, thanks! I can imagine small projects must be careful. On the other hand if someone does it for fun and learning that is fine even despite the risk of not finishing :)

Whats wrong with rust?

How is this related to the keyring security issues? (Don’t get me wrong, it’s interesting news, and I already saw it in the Privacy sublemmy)

Exactly the same for me. Fedora is goat.

Yeah its not that bad, was an overexageration.

If the distros didn’t matter nobody would have strong preference. Instead there are Distro wars raging for years now, with plenty of casualties.

For me the preference came from reliability. I tried many distros and they never worked well. They either had bugs or didn’t work the way I wanted to. When I finally found what suits me, you can be damn sure I will tell everyone who listens that its the best distro on the whole planet… FOR ME. But I will gladly recommend it as well 😊

I think the combo hardware + kind of person can create many unique preferences… almost distro-count amounts of preferences 😀

Where can I download it? 😀

I think smart home already proved that talking to our appliances doesn’t work. Imo LLMs will re-define how some people think, maybe lots of tasks will be delegated, but there will still be surfing, gaming, development, etc… at least in the next 10 years I don’t think desktop will change significantly.

I think its possible on Wayland. I can’t find it in KeePassXC, but Proton Pass currently has it as experimental feature and I tried it and it seems to work. I am not sure if its virtual keyboard though… It actually shows this dialog upon first auto-type in the current session:

Go Fedora, you won’t regret. It’s currently the most solid distro out there.
