  • Didn’t Ubuntu propose the same a while ago and had to step back because of all the backslash?

    Is the change coming from Red Had this time? They’re enterprise only so it’s possible they don’t care about home users whom are the ones still in need of 32bit libraries, I think big enterprises would use Windows virtual machines for that.

    I’m not personally impacted since I use Linux MX on my gaming desktop (Debian based) and Debian stood up during the Ubuntu debacle to state they have no intention whatsoever to remove 32bit libraries in the foreseeable future, but it’s certainly a blow for a lot of people, I hope Fedora change their mind about it.








  • On one side, I’m one of those glad for people coming to Linux because Linux is truly fantastic and it can make your life easier on many things, I’m happy for them.

    On the other side, I share your concerns, because everything that gets adopted by the masses is inevitably subject to enshittification, I would never want that to happen to Linux.

    We should find a sweet middle-point tho I have no idea what that would be.





  • Thanks for the detailed explanation.

    I understand the technical point of view and yes, they definitively wrote on their lemmy.world “copy” of this thread given how the fediverse work, tho they should be able to see which instance each post originates from.

    I most probably worded my answer very poorly, I was at a loss of words, not only because of what I perceived as incoherent behaviour, but also because of the circumstances.

    I mean, I’m a lemm.ee “refugee” like many in this thread, I registered here only 2 days ago, still very sad for the loss of .ee, the admins wrote a fantastic welcome post for all of us, and of all the things they could say they come here to remark what they think of the domain? Seriously ?!?

    Not the one you’re asking but I’ve been dual-booting Windows and Linux on my gaming desktop for many years, every time a build a new PC, disabling “secure boot” AND “fast boot” in the BIOS is the very first thing I do and I never had problems (I play on Linux but I keep Windows for testing in case I want to report a bug).

    Fast boot is even more troublesome, since it’s a Windows specific feature that allows it to not truly shutdown so it can startup faster later, but that can cause locks for other OS that won’t work correctly.

    In theory, Linux should be able to support secure boot (not fast boot), but since that one too was made for Windows, there are cases in which it could cause problems, I will always disable it just to be on the safe side.
