Fedora Linux

But what I hadn't used was a big update that they introduced late last year called Cosmic Desktop.

And while I have messed around a little bit with Cosmic Desktop on Fedora, this is my first time using Pop! OS with Cosmic with a laptop that they made.

And the crux of my video is like, hey, sure it might not be a better hardware experience than the big guys like lenovo and dell and things like that uh and sure it might i mean you know pop os is uh not everybody's cup of tea i would say framework you know uh they you know tries to tries to keep linux distros in mind when it comes to hardware compatibility but i can't think of another company that does both Like they've got the hardware, they make their own distro, they're doing real cool stuff over there.

And so it's fun to check out the full experience.

With a few basic commands, users can push this tiny synth to say nearly anything, showcasing an elegant bridge between eras of computing.

Jumping from vintage-meets-modern to bleeding edge Linux, the Fedora community recently introduced the Asahi Remix 45 beta, designed specifically for Apple silicon Macs, a bold move that extends Linux's reach into Apple's walled garden.

The Asahi Remix isn't just a technical demo, it's a full-featured beta that brings Fedora's stability to the latest Mac hardware, and developers expect general availability for this remix as soon as October 2026.

This release is a leap toward inclusivity, enabling Linux users who favor Apple hardware to enjoy the versatility and freedom of open source platforms.

Fedora's work here is part of a broader trend as more open tech projects bridge gaps that just a decade ago seemed too tough to tackle, making open source more accessible and diverse than ever.

Meanwhile, over in the world of databases, the development activity in PostgreSQL has truly hit new heights.

As contributor Tomas Vondra pointed out, between 2010 and now, the weekly commit count has doubled from about 25 to nearly 50.

It's a classic open source conundrum as the lines between public good and private advantage blur, putting intellectual honesty and collaboration to the test as artificial intelligence breaks new ground in fundamental sciences.

I suppose so, yeah.

Well, then I would probably shift to Fedora.

Because it would have that weight of community support behind it and a certain bar of quality and certain unwritten, unpromised, but yet existent quality bars that means that the thing is going to work.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, if the whole Debian thing went away and I couldn't just switch to Debian, then yeah, same.

Fedora is just the obvious choice, isn't it? I mean, Ubuntu, we're used to.

fedora is a bit different but ultimately it's a great distro so yeah that's the obvious answer what about you graham like if arch and ubuntu went away what would you do

I guess the obvious answer is KD Linux, like Fadum said, but I'm going to assume that KDE's gone as well.
