Maybe. Fedora just got another kernel after a massive 9 hours of uptime. 
Important to me? Probably not. Do I want to skip 10 kernels before 
updating? No.

If I get another kernel that fast, it is because there was an error when 
making the previous one. I usually get about one a month.

Leap 16 uses the 6.12 LTS from November 2024. Fedora is at 7.1.5. It 
probably makes no difference to me but so it goes. For example 6.19 
included improvements for btrfs. Both my Leap and Fedora boxes use btrfs 
but I haven't noticed a difference. 

Leap 16 is Python 3.13. In October it will only receive security fixes. 
Fedora 45 is scheduled to move to 3.15 in October when it is released. I 
expect there will be more fixes. 

Plasma on Fedora is 6.7.2, 6.4.3 on Leap, and so forth.

Part of the decision making when selecting a distribution is how up to 
date you want to be. Fedora is semi-rolling and has fewer surprises than a 
rolling release like Arch or Tumbleweed while staying close to the newest 
versions. Leap is downstream of SLED and arguably is more stable. Ubuntu 
sort of splits the difference. 26.04's kernel is 7,0, which would have 
been 6.20 except Torvalds ran out of fingers and toes. It's a LTS release 
so while it has Python 3.14 I don't expect it will ever get 3.15. Ubuntu 
derivatives like Mint are a mixed bag. Mint's kernel is 6.17, its Python 
is 3.12. Newer kernel than Leap, older Python. I'm using those as 
indicators. systemd is 259 on Fedora and Ubuntu, 257 on Leap, etc.

The nice thing about Linux is you get to pick your poison.

Never have any problems with Arch Linux for a decade, the only one THE 
VERY BIG THING was systemd introducing. This cause "little" pain, mostly 
with bad rc scripts conversion to systemd units and overall third party 
software hickups with systemd. And that's it. All other things was 
purely third party software bugs and AUR maintainer fuckups :).

Just subscribe to Arch news (e.g. via RSS) and read them before 
updating. All neccessary manual actions will be there. And try to update 
your system at least once per week (I do it on saturdays with morning 
coffee).

Actually, I was surprised how systemd was made so good comparing to 
another software from same author - PulseAudio :).

It’s the only service manager I know of that also works for user
sessions, not just for systemwide services.

And that goes for its log handling, too.

Well, MacOS kept syslogd separate.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the idea for systemd
came from MacOS's launchd.

BTW: Whenever someone posts their reminiscences of all the trouble
they had with printing on Linux, I point out that nowadays,
Linux printing is as easy as on MacOS -- thanks to CUPS.

on Mrs. vallor's Mac Studio.  Same goes for our phones. ;)  )

I'll admit I was amazed when I plugged an old Samsung CLP-375 in and it 
just worked. I have a fraught relationship with printers that goes back to 
the '80s.  

I'm amused by my dentist. She has two printers and trying to get either 
one to print a receipt is an adventure. I've told her the receipt 
ultimately goes in the trash and I don't need it for anything but she 
insists. She has mastered the technique of 'if it doesn't work, hit it 
harder'.

   Linix printing HAS improved, considerably, over
   the past five years or so. NOW it usually "Just
   Works". Yay !

   Still couldn't get LibreOffice Writer to properly
   print a damned envelope though ... "good enough
   for the USPS" by abusing margins, but not ideal.

   Heh ... I made the "mistake" of mentioning to
   someone in my dental office about how it was
   going with their Great New Biz System. The
   response was something like SHOCK.

   Some glib salesman had sold them on their Great
   New Better System - but NOBODY could get it to
   work worth a damn. Disaster !

   However their IT guy IS happy ... he got paid
   to xfer their files over to the new system, and
   now AGAIN going back to the OLD system that
   actually worked  :-)

   Oh, the Great New System is called "Dolphin".
   Now they have a dart-board with a dolphin
   pic on it. Really.  :-)

I don't know what my dentist uses. I know they changed software, and 
they have some computer with the old system in order to see the old 
data. But on their new terminal they have a 3D representation of my 
mouth, they can see in isolation a single molar, in 3D.

I cant answer for today but when my niece set up a dental practice it 
was all windows and the networking sucked. Microsoft didn't want  a 
desktop PC loaded with image processing software to talk to the x-ray 
machine.

Took a week to get it all working.

I installed EndeavourOS and it worked well. I did update it frequently, 
probably every two or three days, and after one update it didn't boot. I 
screwed around for a while with a USB session, chroot, and all that good 
stuff but couldn't get it fixed. I had a SUSE iso I'd been running in a VM 
on another machine and there wasn't enough work/data to worry about so I 
reinstalled.

I never could decide which got more new stuff 'pacman =Syu' or 'dnf 
update' on Fedora 44. EOS includes 'yay' which is nice for the AUR stuff.

    I had *fair* success with Endeavour. Seems to
    be a pretty nice system.

    However, as also experienced with Manjaro, the
    UPDATES seem to soon fail. Then you have to
    dump the whole system.

    Sorry, NOT gonna replace crap with more crap.

    The Archiverse needs to get its shit together.

    And DON'T like their dual, regular + "AUR",
    repo system. Get it all TOGETHER guys !!!

    Still gonna stick mostly to "MX". It "Just Works".
    Mint is pretty much the same.

    See my notes on "DietPi" also. SOMETHING has
    gone amiss on what USED to be a good minimalist
    OS.

    The more complex and convoluted Linux distros
    become, the more ways it can all go WRONG.

    Somebody somewhere needs to look back maybe 15
    years and figure out why all that used to
    go very WELL.

Yet you're using distros with PPA support and most likely have one of 
them added to your repositories list. Am I right? How this is different 
with "regular + AUR"? And, actually, it is MUCH MORE WORSE!

The only thing I hate about those COPR, PPA and other type of third 
party repos in distros like Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE is that there is no 
guarantee that when some dependency updates these packages will be 
rebuilt in timely manner, so it is more likely you will have broken app. 
And moreover you cannot do it yourself with simple command - you have to 
download package sources, build package, install built package, and it's 
THREE different commands.

In Arch I can do that with simple "yay PKGNAME".

We can go futher - Gentoo's portage will rebuild packages automatically 
if dependency was updated. But due to nature of distro I am not using 
it, because I have work to do, not to mangle for hours with system update.

Fedora's RPMFusion isn't quite the wild west that AUR is. iirc when I was 
messing with VirtualBox I had to add RPMFusion. I got rid of both.

No, thanks. The update to 6.17 was bad enough. It's an old netbook with a 
Broadcom wifi chip and the dkms process would fail and it would revert to 
6.14. To even install I use a Panda USB wifi dongle. Once installed, the 
Mint driver manager was able to get a Broadcom driver. It had been working 
but not with 6.17. I was able to find a deb with one that worked. Oddly 
when troubleshooting the problem I got a lot of hits on Mac sites and I 
think that's where I finally found the update. 

I can't remember what I had on the netbook prior to Mint but it was the 
same cha-cha. Install with the dongle the iso recognized and then get the 
Broadcom driver.  I don't know if it's because it's from 2011 or if 
Broadcom support isn't up to par.

Broadcom Wi-Fi is a biggest crap in Linux world because there are no 
good driver for it. To eliminate this problem just buy an adapter or 
dongle that uses Atheros or Realtek chip.

The Panda dongle I have uses the RTL8812AU. The rest of the boxes are 
either Realtek or Intel.

I think there is, these days.

bcmwl-kernel-source or broadcom-sta-dkms are AFAIK proprietary but 
supported by broadcom

IIRC many Raspberry Pis use a broadcom chipset, and they mostly work

But I agree, in the past it was a complete pain

Along with Nvidia GPUs, but at least they made their drivers feely available

Funny thing is that I never have any problems with nvidia graphics on 
Linux using proprietary drivers. NEVER. Running CUDA? No problems! 
Gaming with wine? Here we go! Native gaming! Lets ride!

I won't speak for power problems of course, still remembering my pain 
trying to get gtx460 working on full power, but it was solved by 
disabling powermizer. Even now there are some problems with power, 
sleep/resume...

Except Wayland, of course. Wayland and nVidia starts to work together 
very recently.

And moreover, I think laptops with intel+nvidia are best for Linux, 
because I never experienced much trouble running games on discrete card. 
On wayland it just works, on X11 I was launching games in another X 
session so composition pipeline won't ruing my input latency.

Everyone praises AMD, woohoo, open source drivers, so configurable... I 
have a desktop with 5700xt and it won't made things simplier - I have to 
specify VERY OWN RADV OPTIONS FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING TO WORK PROPERLY. 
Now that desktop gaming firmware (Windows :-D). And EVEN THERE videocard 
sometimes just get lost so I have to reinstall amd drivers... Nuts!

And yes, don't be confused with rpi working fine - they using specific 
chipset with specific radio, make BCM4313 work flawlessly :).
