For me its especially the DE

OpenSUSE MicroOS is meant for servers and runs well on my VPS for 1-2 years already

I actually would recommend it for that reason. It’s different from traditional desktops and polished at the same time, you dont need to fiddle with it. I think it’s good way to show people that alternative (to windows) doesnt mean bad.

It’s basically a read only mirror with links to the right place. That makes it easier to find or clone for many people

Talented people working on Intel GPU drivers sounds great.

In case you use GNOME it has keybinds you can map to console commands built in

apparently btrfs can get corrupted if it unexpectedly loses power?

What do you mean by that?

Corruption on power loss is something that journaling should prevent and modern filesystems do that. So btrfs should be as safe as other modern filesystems.

Edit: Btrfs does no journaling, it implements resilience with another mechanism, namely Copy on write.

You said you tried Apps from F-Droid, still FossWallet in F-Droid works good for me.

If you have autologin on boot enabled you could try disabling it and then login manually on boot

That helped for me

I wonder isn’t there a step missing where the flatpak extension org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.openjdk21 is added to the specific vscodium flatpak? Or does it add all installed sdk files automatically to the apps environment?

GNOME because it works out of the box like GNOME

Weird, but good that you found out!

Are you sure the right partitions have enough space? On my tumbleweed the installer made several subvolumes i think

Alternatively you can configure a hotkey in the GNOME Settings, or the equivalent for other DEs, to execute a bash script or anything.

No issues except that if you want to source files to set env vars you might have to use a plugin (foreignenv in my case)

I still write scripts in bash. But fish’s command completion is incredible. Idk, maybe other shells can be that good as well, but fish does out of the box.

Edit: Also some people used to bash wondered what that nice shell is on a server we administrate together. They had no problems using it coming from bash.

And sticking with POSIX is good if you want to stay portable, but my shell mustn’t be portable. It should be friendly and reduce mental load.

I’ve never used another init system, but i see no problem with systemd. The declaritive approach makes things very robust. Surely some things can be improved, but it’s a good tool.

Edit: Also managing user services the same way is nice.

No. It’s only about the kernel itself, not Linux Systems(aka Distributions).

Earlier the kernel did only consist of C code, but for some time now the option to develop parts of the kernel in Rust is being worked on. In the end it both compiles to native machine code. The running kernel does not require the Rust toolchain to be present.
