    Somehow, I feel called out.

    I mean, I'm on Debian and I'm on the same install instance I've had for almost four years now. I'm constantly reading about how some of you people keep hosing your other distros with a normal update...

    Fedora is security? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love it, it's my daily driver after trying just about every distro under the sun, but I would've figured something like Qubes would stand head and shoulders above it.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (6 children)

    Qubes is specialised, whereas Fedora is a general purpose distro with a security focus.

    i would say fedora is the "security distro for every day people" kind of distro

    Fedora 41 is now the 'wait 45 seconds every boot because you don't have a tpm chip' version.

    [–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (6 children)

    Can i get some context please? My fedora install wasn't using TPM, i had to manually configure it; i haven't noticed any difference in boot speed with or without TPM encryption

    When you run OpenSUSE, you can feel it was made by Germans.
    The installer is a beautiful example of German engineering.
    The package manager is a perfect example of German over-engineering.
    If you run it with KDE, you have 2 redundant GUI admin tools for every config in the system, and 4 for setting up printers.

    Yeah that sounds like a typical BMW engine layout.

    Sees "Germany"

    Die Kommentarspalte dieser Pfostierung befindet sich ab sofort im Besitz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland meine Kameraden!

    Ahoi, Genosse! Wie läuft die Germanisierung? Verbreiten Sie erfolgreich das Wort von Linux in Ihrem Heimatland?

    OpenSUSE is the "all of the above" of Linux distros

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    It is? I had tumbleweed installed and switched to fedora after only a few weeks because it kept freezing.

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

    oh my girlfriend's laptop also just keeps freezing with opensuse. do you have an nvidia card by any chance?

    Qubes is the actuall security distro tho.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

    Qubes is specialised, though. The four distros above are general purpose with a focus.

    How slow is qubes? I imagine that virtualising everything is slow. Does it have a containerised mode?

    It really isnt that slow virtualization overhead is pretty minimal nowdays.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

    It's decent as long as you have adequate numbers of cpu cores and memory for the apps/VMs you run

    [–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

    As slow as you expect, at least on anything that requires gpu such as watching videos

    Konsole must be a KDE app, but since KDE is a German project...
