why or how is fedora security?

[-] superkret@feddit.org 203 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

It's amazing how OpenSUSE got my laptop's valve covers to leak oil.

As the owner of many old German cars this is funny but only because it means no one read the technical manual that came with the car

I think I've put fedora on at least 4 personal systems and it has never caused an issue. It's so smooth it's boring in the best way. Switched to it for daily computing about 4 years ago. I use a minipc as a media server with Arch and turning it on it's exciting. Just this fucking morning the default configuration decided that my main audio device was a microphone. Lovely. So flexible.

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...

[-] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 22 points 1 week ago

Four years? Some rookie numbers you got there.

Real. Though sometimes running a recent version of something is a real challenge, unless it ships in appimage. If it’s a small program you can usually backport the package from unstable or just build it yourself, but if it depends on some rust or js libraries or whathaveyou you have to do so much crap you might as well just be running trixie

I'll never stop hating that debian is labeled stable. I'm fully aware that they are using the definition of stable that simply means not updating constantly but the problem is that people conflate that with stability as in unbreaking. Except it's the exact opposite in my experience, I've had apt absolutely obliterate debian systems way too often. Vs pacman on arxh seems to be exceptionally good at avoiding that. Sure the updated package itself could potentially have a bug or cause a problem but I can't think of any instance where the actual process of updating itself is what eviscerated the system like with apt and dpkg.

And even in the event of an update going catastrophically wrong to the point that the system is inoperable I can simply chroot in use a statically built binary pacman and in a oneliner command reinstall ALL native packages in one go which I've never had not fix a borked system from interrupted update or needing a rollback

[-] dezmd@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

You are maybe conflating stability with convenience.

"Why is this stable version of my OS unstable when I update and or install new packages...."

The entire OS falling down randomly on every distribution during normal OS background operations was always an issue or worry, and old Debbie Stables was meant to help make linux feel reliable for production server use, and it has done a decent job at it.

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

[-] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

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

Flexibility translates to unpredictable.

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 week ago

I’ve never had any issues with my Arch install being unpredictable. It has always worked exactly as I expected it to, even though I update it every couple of days.

[-] lukstru@lemmy.world 32 points 1 week ago

It has always worked exactly as I expected it to

Just expect it to break, then it will behave as expected taps head

I've been using Arch since 2014. If I could be arsed, I could write you a looooooooong list of regressions I've had to deal with over the years. For an experienced Linux user, they're usually fairly easy to deal with, but saying you never have to deal with anything is just a lie.

My experience with Arch is basically: it's all very predictable until it isn't and you suddenly find yourself troubleshooting something random like unexplainable bluetooth disconnects caused by a firmware or kernel 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.

[-] richardisaguy@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

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

Check the comment from superkret, basically overengineered, redundant and not very intuitive.

I work in german SW development, so I understand. I would put it like this, german backends are among the best you can find but german frontends are usually complicated and not intuitive...
