Hey! I’m currently on Fedora Workstation and I’m getting bored. Nothing in particular. I’ve heard about immutable distros and I’m thinking about Fedora Kinoite. The idea is interesting but idk if it’s worth it. CPU and GPU are AMD. Mostly used for gaming.

    2 points for vanillaOS. What’s the problem with their security? Also, coming from KDE, what’s that about gnome mouse thing you’re talking about? Just curious lol

      I don’t have a particular problem with their security, I just don’t have a clear picture of what they’re about yet - and I don’t want to give the impression that I’ve investigated it and found everything’s in order.

      Gnome’s mouse thing is about running the human input devices in a separate thread, prioritized over the rest of its spawned processes. The practical upshot is, if your system is chugging under the weight of too many programs, your input won’t be laggy

        Fair enough, thanks for honesty. The mouse thing sounds sick, although I have a pretty powerful setup 😜

          Yeah, the input thread priority sounds cool and it would be nice on KDE as well, but if you have a faster computer than a potato, I'll guess you won't be needing that kind of "optimization".

            You’d be surprised. I’ve got a mid-tier i7 laptop from 2017 and it munches through most productivity tasks.

            It’s my i9 desktop that suffers when I’m running everything I want to have up. Between containers and compilers, VMs and videos, tabs and terminals, you can really put the hurt on a machine. I likely won’t be swapping until everyhing has adopted 45, or until I figure out how to make hyprland work the way I want it to
