Very clear presentation. May suggest Fedora 40 as a daily driver? It is on two notebook PCs and my desktop PC with a Hyprland environment. I do have Budgie and Gnome available at logon, but Hyprland is where I live. Fedora is a winner.

Fedora is King. the only issue they have is their codecs are a hassle to isntall, but Nobara & Bazzite take care of that if you want your OS for something specific like Video Editing or gaming.

Looks like those 4 clusters mentioned in the video first came out on the top500 list with Almalinux in June 2022. There was a blog post on almalinux website about it.

Thanks for the video! Do you know why they prefer Alma Linux instead of Rocky Linux? I know both of them are RHEL based, but I don't know why you would prefer one over the other.

Hello, can you please share the program

Fedora as a desktop OS is solid,never had a problem with it myself and upgrading every six months is simple to do and painless.

I greatly respect you, Julia: four kids, a husband, a job, and a master’s degree in the works. I do love your office, but to me, it would be very distracting to work on a long document. After more than 40 years I decided to go back to college; I got my bachelor's degree last month, and I will begin my master’s this fall. I have four places at home where I go to work on my papers, and I rotate them whenever I feel like it. BTW, I am not planning on going back to work; this is just for fun 😂. Best regards, good luck with your thesis, and stay safe 🙏. You earned my sub.

Hey, can you make a video about the Wayland Xorg battle that has been going on.

Fedora is not testing ground. It is fast release distro focused on current stable version of all software involved. It does not include experimental versions of software. Centos Stream will have every release as for 9.0 to 9.1 leading ahead before it happens to Redhat. But packages are still very old co, pared to Fedora and are focused on bug fixes. Both red hat and centos stream get high security fixes asap, while non critical security fixes might go asap in centos and on on next 9.x in red hat. Look in packages in the repos. It is very easy to understand it just by seeing the version changes in them.

1. AlmaLinux or 2. RockyLinux (commented from RockyLinux)

My experience with Fedora is relatively neutral. There have been good things and problematic experiences with desktop multi operating systems that constantly need os probes to regenerate a new bootloader menu. Have had the experience where Fedora and Debian based operating systems seem to ignore picking up other operating systems for the bootloader menu. What has made this most annoying is that the boot directory for Fedora on several occasions was totally erased when installing or upgrading a Linux Mint operating system leaving no way to get into the Fedora operating system, every file disappeared. Was able to cut and paste a segment of a grub config file on several occasions where the boot directory was not deleted yet had to start from scratch with a fresh install of Fedora when all files disappeared. When reinstalling Fedora, in most circumstances. the installer provided a more reliable os probe that recognized other operating systems on the desktop and provided an accurate bootloader menu with all the other operating systems on the computer. Unfortunately LInux Mint has on their live version a boot repair application that never recognized Fedora when attempting to use that option to get Fedora back on the bootloader menu through Mint's grub config file. I started off with Fedora back around version 23. When upgrading through a fresh install when 27 and 30 were released obtained a complete DVD 14+ disc set of the complete repository for Fedora and installed the entire repository on a desktop with adequate memory for storage. Installed programs through terminal command line procedures that took quite a long time to completely install yet a deep dive learning experience that today might be obsolete since buying these complete repo DVDs is no longer available through OS discs. With current versions of Fedora your option for installation is on-line repositories, something that leaves you out of luck if you have a computer that is off-line so far as convenience and limited time is concerned. Over the years I believe Fedora has made a lot of stability improvements. I most often use the Lab version of Design Suite or Workstation. Have recently upgraded two computers to version 40 and found something I really liked deprecated, the music multiplayer Amarok. For several versions Fedora maintained Amarok with a link to Wikipedia for any song you are playing providing information about the recording artist that was very interesting, that does not work in 40. The positive side was the transition from 39 to 40 worked well on both an older desktop with legacy bios (still lots of RAM 16 GBs) and another with UEFI. One issue you mentioned in this video about improvements with recognition of GPU's is promising. I have dabbled over the years with the program Blender, recognition within that program of GPU's for use of cycles for rendering frames has been a problem with graphic card drivers or Blender's lack of picking up this feature when you have a card installed. I have attempted to install the graphic card manufacturers' proprietary drivers, yet with the exception of a short interval of Blender recognition after installation this most often lead to other requirements of changing the Linux kernel with procedures that were too far above my understanding. When the installation did work upgrades to the operating system removed the successful installation that did happen on a rare occasion. This problem is most likely my limited experience and ability to understand the complexity involved in getting this to work properly.

I found Fedora kind of slow. May be just my obsolete computer doesn't work well with Fedora.

"Red Hat EL", let's call it "RHEL" :P

No No No centos stream is a recipe for disaster on servers sorry, Centos stream is very very slow rolling release this is not good for server of any kind

Great video! I've been an off and on Fedora user since its inception. Thanks for the explanation of CentOS Stream as well. It would good to include AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux in future discussions.

Everyone! RHEL distro's need to be avoided like the plague cause they can sweep the floor up from under your feet. RedHat programming already saturates a lot of linux and it's kinda alright because they make good code, but if you invest in a distro only for it to go proprietary or paywalled, you're the one fronting the cost of your effort wasted. CorpoLinux is always an investment and at some point they WILL need to cash in.

Fedora was my entry into Linux (after a failed attempt at installing slackware) around 20 years ago. Then came Ubuntu, later Arch Linux and many in between, but a couple of years back now I rediscovered Fedora, and loved it. Recently started playing around with Fedora Coreos for my homelab.

To me as a desktop Linux user, Fedora seems to basically be one of the most solid distributions out there! I can easily recommend it to all tech-savvy people coming to Linux. Though personally I also like the DIY or otherwise experimental distros - like Arch, Alpine (postmarketOS) or Guix.

I love the posters! :)

Try Are-Eh-EE-L.. easier to pronounce.

Thanks for the update

So is Redhat EL a spin of Fedora? 😁

How has your experience been with Fedora? Any interesting stories or challenges?

What happened to Fedora?

Nerd mom and son

Thank you for the video! Interestingly, I bought almost same books as in one of your your videos! I got myself a copy of "Hands-On Machine Learning" and a book about SQL. By the way, "Simple SQL" also has an accompanying volume "Mastering SQL Joins". Sebastian Raschka has a new book: "Machine Learning Q & A". As far as I understand, SQL would provide tools for data extraction from the database. Then these data can be used for ML. I have a basic experience with Python, but would also like to learn Julia programming language. For some reason I like Cairo plots, produced in Julia (I also like Matplotlib very much). However, at the moment, I have no motivation. I need to get myself a new-ish PC setup to begin with: I have never thought how outdated is my laptop. It really struggles with VS Code! As I understand, you are finishing your M.Sc. in physics and considering doing a Ph.D. I would like to caution you against doing a Ph.D. This advice comes from a person that done Ph.D. in life sciences. I did Ph.D. in molecular biology. Recently I was reflecting on my past and understood that I do regret it. If I had a chance, I would have never done it! Job experience, tangible/measurable achievements and skills are much more important that a Ph.D. For one job that does require a Ph.D., there are 100 jobs that do not need it.

As a Fedora user I could see going to Cent OS on one of my PCs just for the experience of learning how to maintain the system on my own. Since it's RPM based, repos would have the latest updates. A Cent OS users group would be beneficial. Interesting presentation.

Any suggestions for distro which is good for sysadmins and hpc application developers on ARM 64 bit hardware?

Oracle is a bad name. Don't go with Oracle. UPDATE: I don't go with rpm:s - my favourite ultra-boring distro is Debian stable - but I understand the special needs for people that needs a secure stable OS and are running specialized supercomputing clusters, and I only hope that the rpm-side problems will be solved.

... but, CentOS is open source. I thought Open Source meant that you could do whatever you want with it for yourself. Why do people keep doing this - claiming that the end is nigh when the truth is that the only thing that has changed is that the tool is no longer being supported by others for free? If you need CentOS, just keep using it and maintaining it for yourself. If the current version is working now, it will keep working forever unless you really don't have the resources to be using open source tools in the first place. If you've been dependent on others to maintain your platform and tools, is that really "open source" or are you just cheaping out and only using FREE stuff? An organization that I've been involved with since the mid-90s has been using a Linux distro based on the 1.0.9 kernel and associated tools for a web and ftp server. Never been hacked. and has only been rebooted 5 times in that many years (still running on an old MIPS computer, as well).

Well, the reason why CentOS was discontinued was pretty evident. At least to all of us Linux enthusiasts. It was bad for RedHat's business. Going to some other Enterprise Linux offering is probably the easiest option right now. Though personally, I would like to see more people consider choices outside of that monoculture. Debian is definitely a solid contender - it's stable and predictable and it's also very much a standard. But then there's GNU Guix, which is frankly the most interesting (though possibly still unpolished) option out there. It provides very unique features like unprivileged package management (non-admin users can quickly and efficiently get the software they need on a shared system), declarative OS configuration, transactional upgrades and even automatic software provenance tracking (Guix records exactly which versions of all packages you had at each point in time, so you can easily reconstruct that environment later on or on another machine).

Good reasoning on the distro choices! I would recommend (assuming no software that is restraining usage to RHEL like Linux) considering Debian and Ubuntu Server LTS. I have been using them for years and standardized on this as soon as the Stream versions of CentOS were created some years back. It works great!

Como en todo, habrá gente que prefiere la estabilidad, habrá gente que prefiere la experimentación. Desde mi muy humilde punto de vista (durante la plandemia casi me mata Ubuntu) prefiero mil veces la estabilidad. RedHat estuvo presente desde que me inicié en la programación y todo indica que que seguirá vigente por mucho tiempo. ¿Es la mejor distro? No lo creo. ¿Existe una distribución mejor? No. Es gratis??? Si! Entonces, ¿por qué no? Sorry, Ma´am, I got to say this in my languaje. Btw, keep the great work!

interesting how she is saying Lыnux

I work for a college, we switched to Rocky Linux, we have not regretted it and consider this our new home until Rocky goes away, which hopefully will not be any time soon :)

I switched to Ubuntu after the death of CENTOS. Never looked back. RedHat screwed up. Badly.

Cent OS didn't make redhat any money, so they ditched it for good. Better support is such a bs reason (I worked IT in customer support as well as other IT roles

There's nothing better than Slackware

It is with great pleasure I announce my mother did not damage my PC in the making of this video.

Which switch is it? Sounds nice

Actually I am 14 years old and I have been practicing touch typing since I was 12 and in these past two years, from the hunt and peck method(42WPM) I went to 122WPM by touch typing. So I suggest you should move on touch typing, you will see great results, by the way good video. And can you tell which keyboard did you use in the video

I should follow you on this...

Who else is thinking about self-learning machine learning? If so, for what purpose? What made you decide to undertake this project? Here are my two main reasons: 1) I need to find a way to connect my nanomagnetism research and ML. 2) To make my resume stand out, once I’m ready to look for a job in the industry after I’m done with my MSc (and perhaps followed by a PhD).

"Dreams that not scare you are not big enough" Finally, I understand.

Omg, why such a nice talk got so few views 😢

Is the feature for free
