That’s fine for installing patches to the same version, and updates to some major software, but you won’t receive all the new features, and since versions are only supported for 13-months you’ll stop receiving updates by then. It’s good to familiarise yourself with the release cycle https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/lifecycle/

That’s still not how you upgrade from one Fedora version to another. Please try not to provide information you’re unsure about, it’s irresponsible.

This is the documentation: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-new-release/

This isn’t a correct answer to your question, that’s why it’s getting downvotes.

My biggest regret was getting rid of a perfectly good portable CRT TV that would have been ideal for pre-7th generation gaming, just as they stopped making good quality CRTs.

I’m about to get rid of my ageing “dumb” TV and not replace it. Everything comes in to my laptop now, so any monitor and set of speakers to plug it in to will do.

My prediction is that this is going to be the end of the line for TVs as stand-alone hardware - just like most people don’t really have stand-alone Hi-Fi systems any more.

OK well I’m not sure where the AppImage “purists” and Flatpak “critics” are but I’ve not really encountered them.

I mean they are two things that co-exist, it’s not like they’re in commercial competition. Flatpak itself is usually distributed as an RPM or deb.

What’s off? That looks like it might be useful.

Yes, I was kind of being rhetorical there, I thought that would be enough to draw attention to what’s going on. Also a new Lemmy account that exclusively links to one unknown website is a big red flag.

Well he’s on Mastodon so I guess that’s your answer.

Why would we attack the author? That seems like an oddly specific request that makes me oddly suspicious of the author, if anything.

That’s a good interview but what about it brought it to mind with 6.5?

It was ~20 years ago so my advice to myself then would be pretty irrelevant now. I messed up my laptop, and my advice then would have been don’t start with a laptop (because laptop compatibility was lacking back then compared to desktop, different times).

First of all I wouldn’t use a pre-installed OS (I would always wipe and install my own for security reasons).

Secondly: Thinkpads (at least when I bought mine, last year) let you buy them without an OS and don’t charge you for it.

Thirdly: the linked manufacturers above tend to be either US-centric and/or more expensive than Thinkpads.

Not for me it isn’t, smartphones and tablets have always been a horrible user experience (and I’m always bewildered by stories about them replacing desktop/laptops for people), I only have a smartphone out of social pressure, making them even worse is going to drive me away further.

Not sure why you’re being hostile to me but I’m not interested in an argument.

If based on the thing I used most then it has to be Firefox!

If you want something more trivial but personal, openttd - the best game ever. :)

Finally! I have a lot of good will towards this project and understand there can be setbacks, but having been lead to believe that the Flathub version would be the flagship release channel, and then waiting for almost a month for the big new release without explanation of the delay it’s not been a great look to be honest… hopefully they can seriously sort this out in future.

Yes I actually checked whether my flatpaks were updating properly the other day because of this. I think being the official package if anything I would have expected Flathub to have it first, or at least within a few hours. I understand that things don’t always go to plan but starting to get a bit impatient here with the lack of explanation.
