trogdor3000··on Bluefin LTS Is Released
Boots currently relies on OSTree, you use OSTree enable base images. But the work is well on its way to transition to composefs which uses kernel native tech to replicate the features need from OSTree, so any systemd enabled distro can become bootc-able, for a bunch of example see: https://github.com/bootcrew
trogdor3000··on Bluefin LTS Is Released
Hi I'm jreilly1821, I made those COPRs for Bluefin LTS. I guess I could put something malicious but you can see that they are all just packages from Fedora DistGit. I'm not sure what your preference would be? I think distros have mystique given to them that is misappropriated. At the end of the day they are mostly middlemen packaging someone else's code.

Bootc is and will change things, images will be tested as an integrated experience and we'll continue to strive to pull from as far upstream as we can.

Negativo17 is Simone, an NVIDIA employee who has been instrumental in packaging nvidia drivers for linux for years. I don't know for certain, but I wouldn't be suprised if they are also doing the official packaging for nvidia drivers as well. Needless to say they are very trusted and a known entity in the Linux community

Element X only supports FCM cloud push notifications right now I think

What about bash shell? Bourne Again SHell shell. That's the same thing. But i think it can be a helpful distinction between using bash shell as an interactive shell and using the bash scripting language.

The sad thing is that no one cares abou the quality of the degree outside of academia. All they care about is seeing the BS on your resume.

I agree the article isn't well written but I do share some of the author's concerns about the right to free speech vs. the cultural norms of public discourse, private disagreements among friends, friendly debates, etc.

I read the book The Coddling of the American Mind [1] a while back and think I can sum it up with that modern American equate disagreeing with someone opinions as a personal attack and that we need to avoid touchy subject for the sake of tolerance.

You have to add a flag to get off of the LTS brach, Maybe '-d"? Both 16.04 and 180.04 are LTS. the next LTS will be 20.04
