Nice choice, Thinkpads are amazing!

My favourite exercise is cycling

I’ve used Linux for over 20 years, it just works and gives me the freedom I want, so there’s no reason for me to use anything else.

Pros: OS doesn’t spy on you, better privacy, freedom, the OS will not tell you what you have to do. Just do whatever you want to do, change whatever you want to change.

Cons: Maybe gaming support, this is what I see people complaining. I don’t game myself, so can’t say much here. After using Linux for 20+ years, I personally don’t have any cons. The OS works perfectly fine for both professional and personal life.

I know this feeling, also removed all my stuff from Github.

For private projects I’m using my own private Forgejo instance, iinstalled via Podman, which works very well in a quite cheap Netcup VPS.

For open source projects, I’m using Codeberg, they provide an amazing service!

I’ve been using Linux for more than 20+

First distro: Slackware, then Debian for many years, finally Fedora, since 2014, very happy user.

What I like in Fedora: the 6 months release provides bleeding edge experience without compromising stability.

Slackware, in the 90s, installed from floppy disks. I also used SuSE, Debian and now stick with Fedora.

Reddit sucks, it’s getting worse day after day. I’m still there, but moving to Lemmy.

Still using Firefox but looking to move to LibreWolf

If you have budget, Thinkpads can’t go wrong. You can also find refurbished.

Tuxedo and Framework are also excellent choices.

Fish is amazing, I’ve been using it for years in all of my computers and servers

Same here

Mostly for fun/learning and to tweak some Fedora packages to my needs. I keep my own RPM repository.

Fedora with GNOME.

I’ve been using it for over than 10 years in my main computer.

It simply works, it’s nice, fresh packages, stable, GNOME is productivity champion (at least I know all the shortcuts, and how to tweak it to my daily use). I also know how to build and manipulate RPM packages, so it’s pretty convenient.

Coffee. I mean, high quality Specialty Coffee. Grind the beans by yourself, feel that aroma, complete the ritual by sipping the black nectar of productivity. It will be the best moment of your entire day.

I have been using dnf for years, both on desktop and servers, and never had a problem with it. I have the opposite idea, it’s getting better with dnf5, I think it’s a great tool and upgrades not only the regular packages, but the entire distribution during new releases without any problem. I upgraded my notebook from Fedora 38 to 39 and finally to 40 through dnf, no complains.

Yes, at least 30 minutes a day

I always use Rocky Linux or Alma Linux, since I have extensive experience with enterprise Linux and RPM packages. I have Fedora on my main desktop computer. Both Rocky Linux and Alma Linux are rock-solid and are ideal for any kind of workload.

Also, Debian is a good choice if you know how to manage DEB packages and you feel comfortable with APT.

Fedora is a good choice if you want fresh packages and are willing to upgrade your server every 6 months (following the Fedora release cycle).

Rocky Linux and Alma Linux follow a similar slow release cycle of RHEL, wherein you can install your server and not have to worry for years (as long as the packages are updated with dnf update) Debian is also a slow release distribution, which makes it good for servers.
