    • Find an open-source software that you’re interested in, but your main distro doesn’t provide it in the official repo. Be a packager for this software.
    • Open your distro’s wiki, rewrite (or contribute, if already good enough) a page or section.
    • Try the bleeding-edge version (or very-early testing) of your favourite distro, and submit some test results, regarding to your hardware.

    IMHO these tasks are interesting, could learn a lot from these tasks, and other linux users could benefit from these work


  • Also: I think rpm-ostree only supports rpm-based packages, tho; right?

    Can I install .deb software too?

    I don’t think rpm-ostree could support .deb softwares, just like dnf/yum can’t support deb packages.

    Can you share your use case for trying to install a deb package in Fedora? I’m just curious.

    And is there any kind of system-as-a-config-file kind of solution available like in NixOS or blendOS?

    Good question. I only have a few computers, so I had never considered about it.


  • While I’ve looked into Fedora Silverblue, that distro is limited to only install Flatpaks, which is fine for “apps”, but seems to be more of a problem with managing system- and CLI tools.

    No. Your understanding to Fedora Silverblue is wrong. I can just run rpm-ostree install package.name in Silverblue, like other Fedora spins. The small disadvantage is that I need to reboot to apply this update. (re-construct)

    but doesn’t that result in new A/B snapshots, or something like that?

    Well, you can call it snapshots, but there is no need to think about it. In most cases, the system points to the newest snapshot (deployment 0). If a rollback is needed, I can pin to the older deployments. When a major change is to be applied (Like bump Fedora version), I’d manually mark the current deployment as dont-auto-delete.

    Sure, but I’d like to have a more seamless experience, i.e. not having to open/start any “containers” or something like that.

    I never used toolbox in my Fedora Silverblue system. I feel that I can’t tell the difference between using Silverblue and the default Fedora spin





  • I’m kinda a worst-case scenario guy

    Being evicted would be terrible. I understand that you’ll think about the worst-case at this moment.

    As @ImplyingImplications has mentioned, the hearing is a very slow process (disclaim: I have no real experience of it. I just heard some stories). As you mentioned that you’re confident that you can pay your bill in 1-2 months, I’m certain that your pay-off happens before the hearing. In this case, your landlord would lose their stand for evicting, and you will be safe.

    It’s possible to negotiate with your landlord. If I’m your landlord, I’d accept a partial rent payment and a plan to demonstrate the tenant would pay-off in a few months. Evicting a tenant is both time-costing and money-costing.

    However, I’m not sure if discussing your situation with your current landlord is a good idea. Due to the different standings, being too honest may reveal your weakness. Does your insurance plan include legal service?






  • Personally, I’d choose air cool. I have zero confidence about my DIY skills and I want to keep my PC simple.

    As you mentioned

    as quiet as possible

    How much cost are you willing to pay? Bot only money, but also the time you’ll spend on it. If you really love digging into it, then I’ll suggest go ahead for liquid with caution.
