Man it's crazy how these fuckers basically get to ignore copyright law whenever it's inconvenient to them but if you have one too many Windows machines provisioned they'll send the Spanish Inquisition after you.

Big part, for sure.

Uranium isn't the only possible fuel. It's just the one we've been using (because it's the one that lets you make nuclear weapons).

Nuclear power is actually safer than almost everything, period. Even with the major accidents. Yes, even renewables and other "green" energy.

It's incredible that this is such a big point of debate. This kind of thing is really ignoring the material reality of racism in favor of the minutiae. Let's have some 40 acres and a mule, then we can start talking about race conditions.

All the PPA maintainers went to Arch.

I think you already got a good answer but let me throw in another:

Fedora's dnf provides some good history and update reversion tools. You can use:

dnf history list

to get a list of all actions taken on the system since install. Use "dnf history info 5" to get info on the 5th transaction. (Get the transaction ID numbers from "dnf history list".)

Then to revert a change use either:

dnf history rollback or dnf history undo

Using undo reverses a single transaction, so if you have one where you did something like "dnf install tmux" and then ran undo on it then that would be equivalent to running "dnf remove tmux" in terms of what it does on your system.

Rollback does what you might think: it basically goes through all the updates between the most recent and the one specified and it reverses each of them, theoretically restoring the system to the state it was in at that time.

I say "theoretically" because this isn't a perfect system. For example, if you have an update where you removed some software that had some customizations done to it and then went through a rollback it'll put that software back but may be missing configurations you applied to it, so potentially it could cause some issues if those were important. This gets into a lot of complicated stuff and tbh it is a powerful but imperfect system. Something like Atomic gives you more of a guarantee that a rollback will work because the whole system state is defined by the installer, not just the packages.

There's one more note: Fedora removes old versions of packages from its repos so you'll need to add their historical archives repo to do certain things. I forget how to do that off the top of my head.

This may not be what you want exactly but it's a powerful tool that's good to be aware of.

See this for more info.

dnf remove @gnome-desktop dnf autoremove

For the curious.

Note that the autoremove might not do anything here. Removing @gnome-desktop removes the whole package group and should get everything in it.

I imagine something like Fedora with an RT kernel and CPU partitioning could be as reliable as an old Amiga. CPU partitioning would let you reserve one or more cores for specific applications such as music production software. Now, the software in question may not be up to the task but that's a different problem.

They used to be good, almost as good as the Windows drivers. Lately, though, they've been kinda trash and the AMD open driver is pretty alright now. (Performance isn't as good but other than that it's good.)

Doesn't KDE basically have color management with 6 or 6.1 or something?

Ubuntu previously was excepting Gnome point releases from major testing on the grounds that Gnome's point releases are all big fixes and thus don't require Ubuntu's major testing process. Gnome shipped a new major feature in a point release and so Ubuntu said "oops, guess we gotta test their point releases after all". Practically, it means Gnome point releases take longer to get into Ubuntu than they previously did (but are more tested for bugs).
