I'm obviously not an expert. But, from what I can tell, the scene seems quite healthy. And I don't see a reason why it wouldn't thrive further. Especially as the Linux market share is in the lift. Anti-cheat shenanigans are a lot more concerning. Though, I'm optimistic that Valve is actively making progress on that front.

Btw, just as an FYI: I know people that were more interested in software piracy. But I digress...

Vague statement. Please, fam; either be more explicit from the get-go. Or, engage with the comment section.

I suppose you meant the piracy that involves games and/or software. FWIW, I'd be more than happy to elaborate if you could clarify.

Ah..., the conundrums of subjective morality.

programs

Consider being more explicit about what you want/need. Some programs work great with wine and others have never.

In the now up-to-date README.md we find the following line:

A couple of privacy-related patches not built elsewhere

Cool. But..., could you name those explicitly?

Mullvad Browser is also based on Firefox ESR and is the product of a joint development involving both Mullvad and the Tor Project. Could you please explain why anyone should consider Konform Browser over it?

Does anyone happen to know the state of Wayland on Linux Mint?

Domain-Specific Language. In the context of NixOS, that would be the Nix language.

Let's hope places like Lemmy stay relevant, vivid and slop-proof.

Freedom, it's that simple. Any other reason is a derivative of said freedom.

The article unfortunately does a horrendous job at highlighting AerynOS' unique features by only giving vague descriptions without going into any technicality that matters.

FWIW, my two cents on AerynOS:

• It offers (yet) a(nother) novel approach to atomic distros. The gist for its ambition (or, at least, my understanding of it) would be NixOS, but with FHS intact and without a DSL.

There are already many good answers in the comments, so I don't feel the need to add much to it. But perhaps the following is worth mentioning:

• Fedora has got enough agency to continue efforts in what has been abandoned by Red Hat. Or, vice versa.
  • For example: it has continued to offer Btrfs as the default file system, while Red Hat has long since deprecated it.
  • Or, conversely, Red Hat has big plans for bootc. And while Fedora has done a decent job with Fedora Atomic, it certainly does not enjoy the resources and commitment it deserves; a pretty bad regression for (at least one of) the Fedora Atomic images was not considered a blocker for one of the more recent major release updates. Heck, it has become so bad that even the likes of both CentOS Stream and GNOME OS have shown to be more receptive when it comes to addressing problems and whatnot.
• It has been pointed out that Fedora would probably not survive in the event that Red Hat would cease 'its support'.
