Why I Do NOT Use SuSe and Redhat Fedora

Why I Do NOT Use SuSe and Redhat Fedora

SuSe and Redhat Fedora has gone commercial for over a decade.

They has lost the community that backed them before they went commercial.

For Linux community is essential and there used to be "Flame Wars" and not any more.

They are Vocal and Constructive.

In corporate set up  Guys and Girls do not complain but stomach any inconvenience.

The CEOs do not like constructive criticism and they live in a world that they are always right.

That is the malady with SuSe and Redhat.

They community forks are at least two to three years behind and in the fast moving digital world that is a disaster.

I say Debian with many flovours and Live DVDs tops the Linux World and Ubuntu with its Unity and Wayland has done enough to the Linux base.

Even Pop Os (cosmic has not hit the market, one cannot do that with a small community), Zorin and Tuxedo have failed in the market place.

The Third I recommend is Emmabantus Debain Version 5. However Emmabantus Debian Version of 12.4.0 cannot write a boot USB. I tried twice and gave it up. Do not use the latest version of Emmabantus (torrent files).

Valve and Steam OS

Valve and Steam OS

What Valve and Steam OS done to Linux is unbelievable.

Even SuSe and Fedora and Nobara and Ragata jumped the wagon wheel of Linux Games. 

I cannot afford $350 to 500 buy a steam deck but even PS3 and to 5 are porting lot of games now.

I am currently downloading 6.6GB Game Linux of Fedora to test.

That is all, I can do that in my twilight years.

I wish I could play a game like wizard kid!

 

FireFox is doing a Good Job

FireFox is doing a Good Job

FireFox is my favorite browser which I have used it from Mozilla time.

In fact, I have given my email address and registered with it.

I browse Google under FireFox.

I have never had any problem except when the Grammer Utility when it went commercial wanted me to use it as my base for writing.

I do not need Grammer for my work.

I use AbiWord. 

Additionally I have Scribus, Inkscape and Blender for my work.

Redhat Nobara Steam Deck and Game DVD

Fedora Also has a Game DVD of 6.6GB

I am just finishing writing Nobara on a USB stick.

I will report soon once I mount it and test it on my own leisure. 

It is  5.7GB and one need at least GB stick.

If you do not know how to prepare a USB stick one can purchase it from Nobara site. 

I am doing a service and I do not need to pay for it. 

File system include 5.7 Nobara partition, 12MB Anaconda Fat Partition and partition 3 is 307KB unconfirmed file and 10 GB Free Space.

It does not let me use the Free Space as a FAT partition.

I have nothing bad to report about Nobara Live Session except it did not tell me how long it takes to test file in my 320GB Toshiba Hard Disk with 3 other distributions in it.

It took a long time and did not find any problems with my file system.

1. It has its own package system and support Flatpak, which is good.

All the packages are available for installation including AbiWord, VLC and Digikam.

2. Configure the wireless easily.

3. Web browser is Chrome which I hate, did go to the Nobara site straight away which I have browsed adequately through FireFox before writing the Iso image.

4. Probably after my reporting both SuSe and Nobara has torrent clients to download.

Direct download took 6 hours to download 3.2GB but torrent downloaded both in less than five minutes. 

More torrent client faster it downloads.

But Ragata was in the A-Z list of Torrent Index but Nobara was not.

Thank you for the torrent clients.

5. For games it has only Steam support and no native support for Linux Native game clients.

If you are gamer you are better off installing Ragata.

6. I think I have served justice for my old flames of Linux and wish them both success.

7. I am nothing against Linux guys going commercial and doing better work than windows but my grouse is that guys and girls saying that this distribution is better than the other.

It is like chocolates, they are only different Linux flavours.

8. They are all based on Debian and I am a Gnome User and the day I decide to use KDE, I will consider both SuSe and Nobara good as choices.

9. Ubuntu has a special interest in me from Version 6 and I still have those CDs.

10. Puppy Linux and Knoppix are my entry points to Linux.

11. The Installer of Nobara is Calamara, which I begin to hate but BUT Debian has decided to go with it and I have no qualms!

Happy New Year 2024 to all.
