F*ck Windows: move to Fedora or Ubuntu (lemmy.world)

Today, lovely Windows 11 installed an update. And since then I don't have internet access because Microslop Wincrap 11 can somehow magically no longer connect to the DNS server - to any DNS server. No other device in my network has the same issue. I've been bugfixing for over an hour and haven't found a solution. setting the DNS manually, resetting the network adapter, flushed all DNS entries (I used the commandline tool on Windows!). nothing works.

I don't have ANY more patience with W11!

I already tried Linux. I'm using Ubuntu Server for hosting Nextcloud and Fedora just to play around.

Do you prefer Fedora or Ubuntu? I have an old Thinkpad...

(And no, I will not go down the rabbit hole of Arch ;-) At least not for now.)

Bazzite on my gaming machine, Bluefin on my other machines. Both are Fedora Atomic based (meaning read-only kernel). Secure, stable, amazing. Apps are installed via Flatpak, and cli tools using Homebrew.

I've been a full time Linux user for 25ish years now. I'm currently happy here, but have tried most of them

I've been on Bazzite for like 2 years now, and I've never (purposely) used Brew. What kinds of things do you use it for?

[–] negativenull@piefed.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not a whole ton truthfully. If you run 'brew list', you'll see a lot of things already installed via Homebrew. The main one I install explicitly is 'yt-dlp', and I've played with llama.cpp and similar too

Hmmm, I use yt-dlp but forget exactly how I installed it. Definitely not flatpak, definitely not distrobox, and I'm pretty sure I never layered it.

App image maybe?

Edit: I think I literally just downloaded the Linux binary?

from pip? that's how I have yewtube

I used to download their binary from github and put in /usr/local/bin
Hoembrew will update that now whenever I update my system so I don't think about it anymore.

Hmmm, I guess I've just been running an outdated version of it for a while then.
