Switched from Manjaro to Fedora after being told Manjaro is "a bad distro" by many. Looking for a telnet terminal such as Syncterm to run on rpm or flatpak. (lemmy.zip)

Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.

I'm my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I'd prefer running an app locally if possible.

I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn't have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it's simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.

Looking for options.. if anyone can help a Linux noob I'm all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.

It's trivial to set up a fairly solid up to date rolling release on debian if that's what you prefer, stable isn't the only release debian offers.

Why didn't you install Arch OP?

You do no that docker is local, right? It runs in a container but that container is still on your computer.

Oh cool no I didn't know that. I thought it was running code hosted elsewhere.

Install manjaro

Switch to arch repos

Profit

That's what I did for a while and it was way more stable. Now I just use fedora cause I find it simple and easy out the box.

So... using Manjaro without using the AUR is fine?

I've heard that Manjaro is a "bad OS", but I've been using it for a few years and haven't had any issues with it. As a noob, though, is probably avoid most Arch distros, though. They're not impossible or anything, but they can be intimidating and may leave a bad taste of Linux in your mouth if they're not set up right. I do like Fedora quite a bit. It and OpenSuse are my dailys. Mint was my go-to for years, and I would still highly recommend it for beginners. (E) Mint is a deb based distro.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
