No, I am using fedora silverblue which is point release. But there are rolling release immutable distros like opensuse aeon/kalpa im pretty sure. Basically the system files are read only and packages are "layered" onto the system image through transactional upgrades. Most of the packages you want to install should be in containers like flatpak (for gui) and distrobox (for terminal). This keeps the base system clean and small and doesn't get "bloated" like other mutable OS's.

It's a way to go at least for rolling release. However, tw is looking less and less interesting than it used to 5 years ago now that all these shiny new immutable distros are coming out.

I feel like this ruins the aspect of an archive of information where users can go back through and find useful info similar to SO in a way. Maybe there will be a meta search engine for looking through all of the popular instances?

Wow I had no idea Kate had support for LSP after using plasma distros for years. I always assumed it was a basic text editor and used vim instead.

Tbh, I feel like it's a loud minority tho. The majority of linux users (also happen to be the quietest) are "normies" that use Ubuntu and don't have this type of attitude.

Yup, that seems what it is. Thanks can't believe I couldn't figure that out myself 😅.

 

I've found that some of the replies in kbin have solid lines and some are dashed even though they are relplying to the same comment. Are dashed lines for accounts on unfederated instances or something similar? (still new to fediverse so not sure how this all works)

@wheresyourshoe in situations where the exigency clause is applicable such as a health checkup, you may have to let them into your home as you no longer have the 4th amendment protections against unreasonable/warrantless searches and seizures.
