  • Red Hat charge for access to the RHEL binaries. That's literally why CentOS came into existence.

  • Everything that's in main gets released to everyone with the security fixes. Canonical's security team works on those.

    The stuff in the universe repo is owned by the Ubuntu community (not by Canonical), so anyone can submit those fixes, but it depends on the Masters of the Universe, who are all volunteers, to get it upstreamed.

    The extra Ubuntu Pro updates for the universe repo come from when someone who's paying for Ubuntu Pro asks Canonical to make a patch. The source is still available to anyone, so someone could take that patch and then submit it to the community who maintains the universe repo.

    Once the 5 years of standard support ends, then the only way to get additional fixes is through Ubuntu Pro, but if Canonical writes those fixes they also submit them back upstream (as opposed to if they grab a specific patch from upstream — and even then it's still available on Launchpad regardless.

    The reason nobody's made a CentOS but for Ubuntu Pro is that it's way easier to submit the patches through the community (and become part of that community who approves packages) than it is to spin up all the infrastructure that would be needed.

  • If by "WRECK" you mean "improve" yes.

  • Someone with your last name commits a heinous crime and their name becomes infamous, would you change that name? Why or Why not?

  • Meanwhile I'm here on Wayland because it does things that x11 doesn't.

  • What technologies were ubiquitous ten years ago and are much less common now?

  • Most places that have QR menus also have printed menus if you just go up and ask for one. Usually it becomes counter service then.

  • Installing a browser in the big 2025

  • My OS came with an officially packed (by Mozilla) non LTS version of Firefox that gets regular version upgrades.

  • Building from source - disadvantages?

    Jump

  • They don't in general, but things that do heavily detailed graphics work (like your compositor or browser) or lots of cryptography work on the CPU can get a bit more out of those newer instructions than many other programs.

    Very approximately, things that Gentoo offers prebuilt versions of because compiling them is so resource intensive are often the things that can get the best benefit out of your architecture variant. (Not singling out Gentoo here as an example of "doing it badly" - they do the sensible thing by providing these prebuilt binaries, but in some ways it defeats the purpose of optimised source distributions.)

    It's a Hard Problem™ to solve.

  • If you're doing this intentionally or if your dialect has this different I'd love to know (I love learning about different dialects of English), but as far as i'm aware I think you mean "slippers."

    In my dialect at least...

  • I solved this by using Linux anyway and being way more productive than other folks.

  • Look I don't have heat in the winter so I compile Firefox for various processors to keep my bedroom warm okay?

  • The irony is that big things like Firefox can get the most advantages from building for your specific CPU variant, especially if you use them frequently.

  • Why are people using the "þ" character?

  • For fun.

  • ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS, with more stable framerates and quicker sleep resume times

  • I don't know what's worse: the fact that nobody at Microsoft registered that short URL for the lulz or the resulting destination for short URLs that don't get found.

  • Europe's plan to ditch US tech giants is built on open source - and it's gaining steam

  • Maybe something like OpenStack?

  • Everything on the system, including the desktop, kernel, and CUPS, can be installed by snap.

  • Probably a good idea to go see how much storage will be necessary...

  • Turns out hosting a bunch of files is very cheap.

  • What's a subject you (think) you know more about than the average Lemmy user?

  • My very specific niche in programming.

    If you ask me about some very common things, I have no clue. JavaScript? More like JavaShit amirite? But if someone can explain OCI layers, describe the boot process of a RISC-V device as it leads U-boot and a Linux kernel, and talk about performance optimisations in modern Python... Well, my team is looking for more developers and this combination of skills seems impossible to find.
