Linux Is Best<p><span>I am really upset (mix if disappointment, sad, a little angry) with Ultramarine Linux.<br><br>They've released a solid distro release since Fedora v34 or v35. They've been going strong for years, and then "poof". <br><br>Every time, there is finally a good distro for newbie, the development geeks out. This is why there is no Year of The Linux Desktop. Your Grandma is not going to learn the terminal, and if she does, it will be because she first had that Windows-like experience, the same why some Windows users eventually learned Microsoft PowerShell. <br><br>Linux needs a dumb pipe distro. Something so point and click easy, that if I themed it like Windows or Apple, the newbie would not know the difference. Ironically, there has been several such type of distros. But they all "geek out" and lose themselves.<br><br>NO, we did not need you to waste time on making your own hardware (that didn't go anywhere, did it?). No, most people are not trying to flash a Chromebook device (it is a niche user base). No, you did not need to focus on ARM64 support (also still a niche user base). All this would not have been a problem, if you did not try to start all of this at the same time, while also trying to develop a new installer.<br><br>As I said, they "geeked out" and likely burned out. Time and resource management is not something Linux developers are good at. Because I see this happen with so many promising developments.<br><br></span><a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Ultramarine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ultramarine</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/UltramarineLinux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UltramarineLinux</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Fedora" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a></p>
Linux Is Best<p><span>Fedora v42 Beta is now out. <br><br>Meanwhile, Ultramarine Linux, never did release v41. "Soon" turned out to be "never".<br><br></span><a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Ultramarine" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ultramarine</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/UltramarineLinux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UltramarineLinux</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Fedora" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://mk.absturztau.be/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a><span><br><br>RE: </span><a href="https://fosstodon.org/users/fedora/statuses/114184434389886938" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://fosstodon.org/users/fedora/statuses/114184434389886938</a></p>
