Because it took me a few years to create my perfect Fedora workstation installation.

If one days it becomes bricked, I’d probably switch to an immitable distribution, but I’m sticking with workstation as long as it works.

Also there is no real upside to switching for me.

The article was really interesting and made me appreciate everything Valve has brought to the Linux ecosystem.

It’s also why, once I’ll have a Steam Deck in a few months, I’ll probably buy my games on Steam instead of GOG even if game preservation is important to me.

For image backups I use Clonezilla.

It works well but I don’t know how easily you could take an image from one computer to a different one. I tried once and it didn’t work because of Legacy Bios issues…still I guess it works between two modern computers.

I’d love if something like this was implemented directly in a distribution for ease of use.

I have a Surface Go 1 and I’m really happy with it.

But, I have to admit it was tricky to boot Linux on it and the blutooth doesn’t always work. The cameras too, but I don’t care.

Still, it’s a great device that you can attach to a big screen to get the best of both worlds (easy to transport and useful at home).

My experience with Linux sounds way easier than yours even if I agree with a lot of your points.

I never had to save an OS except when I tried to have two DE installed.

Otherwise it’s been pretty smooth except for minor issues related to my hardware.

Thanks I’m gonna have a deeper look into this then😇

I didn’t know red hat was working for the US government. Can you tell me in what way?

What’s also great is that’s some evil company products like my wifés MacBook Pro 2012 or my Surface Go 1 might get cheaper than other friendlier devices once they aren’t supported anymore.

So, if you’re willing to go through some difficulties, you could get them for cheaper than something from Lenovo.

But yeah I ain’t a fan of these companies…

Daily driving a Surface Go 1 with Fedora since 2022.

It works really well except for cameras, sometimes bluetooth and being laggy 1 time out of maybe 30 startups.

The last problem can be solved just by plugging and unplugging the usb-c cable connecting it to a screen.

I’m really happy with it even if it’s not what I’d bought if I had gotten back to Linux already when I got it.

I mostly see Asahi Linux as a way to keep these M Macs in use once they’re too old to get official updates and once they become really cheap on the used market.

If on top of this Apple is forced to bring back some repairability/upgradeability, it would be great.

Buying an used computer is the only thing environnementaly friendlier than buying something from a brand like Framework.

Thanks for the answer, but then how do I remove all of these packages?

I haven’t found a proper answer on the web.

I’m sorry to judge you, but I don’t think a 2 year old should be using a computer.

I think it’s important for kids to learn how to really use a computer (instead of just a smartphone), but it’s mostly important to show them they can have fun away from screens.
