From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.

I'm my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I'd prefer running an app locally if possible.

I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn't have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it's simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.

Looking for options.. if anyone can help a Linux noob I'm all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.

That's wrong though, isn't it? AFAIK, Manjaro hosts their own repos with a focus on up to date but slightly more stable packages

That's the main repos, not the AUR.

For sure, but the AUR poses a risk to any system if you're not careful. I don't think it's really fair to blame Manjaro for that

But it is other way around. Manjaro clients were spamming requests to AUR taking it down.

I wasn't aware of that. That definitely seems like a fair thing to criticise then
