From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Switched from Manjaro to Fedora after being told Manjaro is "a bad distro" by many. Looking for a telnet terminal such as Syncterm to run on rpm or flatpak. (lemmy.zip)

Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.

I'm my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I'd prefer running an app locally if possible.

I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn't have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it's simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.

Looking for options.. if anyone can help a Linux noob I'm all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.

I've been running Manjaro for about 6 years. I've only had self induced issues.

I restarted during a GPU driver update
I only used pacman to do system updates and it kept failing. I needed to use pamac for those round of updates instead.

Arch is a better OS in that you have more control of exactly what it will do. But Manjaro also provides a great experience out of the box with all the major DEs. It really comes down to how much convenience are you willing to trade for control.

For what it's worth, I've only noticed the slower Manjaro repo helping me once when steam fonts broke on the arch repo. So I basically had a warning and was able to switch to the beta version of the steam client to avoid that issue. So the slower Manjaro repo is not a selling point IMO, but the DE tweaks and configurations are.
