That is indeed the big question, if there's nobody willing to put in the work, then there's nothing to release.
Maintaining something like Leap, with the contributor base that has historically existed, isn't sustainable, long term, especially when the upstream is going in a different direction.
Honestly, I wouldn't make any specific recommendation. Because when you do, you instantly become most peoples personal support technician, when they can't sort something out.
I'd probably make the general suggestions of Fedora/Silverblue/Kinoite, openSUSE Tumbleweed/Aeon/Kalpa, and maybe Pop!_OS if somebody put a gun to my head. But no recommendations.
That's how you read the GPL, you might be right.
When I read the GPL, and I have read it a number of times over the years, while I might find what RedHat has chosen to do to be distasteful, I don't find it in violation of the GPL. It's entirely possible that I'm wrong.
But I'm not a legal expert by any stretch of the imagination, are you?
I feel perfectly fine. I have no idea what you're on about.
I am only peripherally involved in Fedora as a contributor, but as I understand it, yes there is governance and infrastructure in place.
I shouldn't, but I'm going to…
Define "Bloat".
Seriously. What do you mean when you say "Bloat" and why is this an actual legitimate technological concern of yours?
(This comment has absolutely nothing to do with Manjaro, or any other distribution. It's got more to do with the use of the word "Bloat")
Wait a minute. Since when are LXQt and XFCE "Distributions" ?
I don't even know what that vaguely gear-like one in the top tier is, or the one next to the geeko in the second tier are.
(Just as a sidenote, as one of the openSUSE LXQt maintainers, and sometimes LXQt Upstream contributor, if we're providing our own distro somewhere, this is the first I've heard of it.)
Element/Matrix can be E2EE, it is most decidedly not P2P
They're welcome to it. I haven't deleted my reddit account yet, but I did kill the tab in my browser. I just don't care anymore.
The performance issues will sort themselves out. The timing is just bad for kbin.social
But it's not a performance issue, so much as it is people learning how the Fediverse works. At it's best, there shouldn't be any megaservers where everybody is signed up. There should be many smaller servers, that are interacting with each other, via federation. It's a little different way of looking at things.
For my part, I've only participated in the whole reddit thing under protest. I'm involved in some open source projects, and I felt it necessary to get involved there, just to fight the FUD.
I never liked it. Even before this whole API hullabaloo.
I've got my popcorn, and I'll be happy to watch reddit die in a fire. (One can only hope.)
Correct, SUSE, the corporation is no longer providing a traditional linux distribution, after the SLE-15 EOL.
openSUSE, which is a community project, and not controlled by SUSE, is currently debating as to whether we have the contributors interested in doing so, and in sufficient numbers, to continue to provide a traditional point release distribution.
Tumbleweed (the rolling release) is not going anywhere. The community has not yet decided if the interest and manpower is there to use the ALP sources provided by SUSE to create A) A traditional linux distribution, akin to what Leap currently is, B) a "Slowroll" version of Tumbleweed, that has a slower release cycle, or C) Nothing at all, because there isn't the community there to support the development of it.
SUSE != openSUSE
