@purpleidea @johns that was the appeal of Ubuntu when it appeared on the scene. But with the past shenanigans of Canonical I've left Deb based distros... Although I've been using Fedora for a long time, it being based in the US and belonging to a mega corp (IBM) makes me want alternatives.
Anyone knows?
@chesterdott @johns I use Fedora too. The number one thing you want is reproducible builds if you want that safety.
@purpleidea @johns so the building from source is transparent (in the real sense of the word)?
@purpleidea @johns All of mine are quite happy running Debian (Bookworm on some, Trixie on others).
@purpleidea @johns Framework 16, Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th Gen, Thinkpad P15s.
@purpleidea Well, I've been doing that for a long time and am happy. Just in the last few days I've noticed I couldn't connect to a couple access points that were WPA3 -- changing to WPA2 made it work. So lazily asking about this specific issue.
@johns I generally only run Debian on servers these days, but last time I had to debug a Debian laptop issue, I first booted a Fedora live image to check if the problem existed there too. (It did not in that case.) I'd recommend seeing if it's a general unfixed issue or a Debian specific one first. HTH
I'm using #Debian on laptops since I have one, i.e. more than 25 years. Can't say, I'm frustrated about it.
@purpleidea @johns Doing this for decades. It just works.
@johns Running debian on laptops is generally an exercise in frustration.
