Incredible, someone at Red Hat is apparently reading my toots and slowly scrubbing their website of references to their "compressing the kill cycle" project. Here's the file they don't want you to read: web.archive.org/web/20260402… p.s. if you work at Red Hat and have inside info on what's going on, my Signal is "@legoktm.12345" - happy to protect you.
Disgusting. For those unaware, IBM has acquired Red Hat a few years back (they are heavily involved in Linux development and related technologies). "Technology is apolitical" bros can bite me.
This has been my experience more or less for the past decade. I moved to Gentoo on my desktop in 2020 so I could have better control of all the bells and whistles (trying to balance web dev, game dev, ham radio, astronomy, CAD/CAM, GIS, and gaming on one machine), but up to today Fedora has been what I run on anything I don't want to fuck around with (like a laptop that I want to stow for a couple months, update the night before a trip, and not deal with any bullshit when I should be packing). I've also set it up for a few coworkers in addition to my brother, and they've been fine. I was truly shocked to hit so many problems in the installer this go-around. It is very uncharacteristic of my experience overall.
