Immutable distros works great when you want them exactly as they come. Anything else is a shit show IMHO.

As an example, multiple fedora based immutable distros dont have the codecs required to play YouTube videos. You have to either replace the rpm-ostree based Firefox with the flatpaks one or layer ffmpeg over the base system. Both solutions I wouldn’t expect someone without Linux knowledge to be able to do.

“OK then do me a favor, shut it down, unplug the power for 5 second and plug it back in”

I dunno, I’m getting tired of them

I’m currently trying Fedora Kinoite and from the get go the hassle of getting a proper Firefox+codecs to watch online videos feels like a major step back.

Then you have the issue of installing software in flatpack (is: vscode, texmaker) that are either not fully working of need to have their access tweaked. Atomic distros appeal is to “just work” it doesn’t seem like it does.

Dumb and Dumber: UwU edition

It doesn’t make sense, Forgejo just forked gitea and discarded all of the history (I.e.: issues and PR) previously included in gitea’s github repository. Of course they could host it on their own platform, it was already functional and they could start from a blank state.

Here’s the specific response and it’s even better than anticipated.

I don’t care how much you think your code is readable, plain text comments are readable by everyone no matter the proficiency in the programming language used. That alone can make a huge difference when you’re just trying to understand how someone handled a situation.

And the best of all… Uwuntu
