Linux distro's heading to where macOS today: where the root filesystem is mostly immutable, but not entirely. #ChromeOS arrived there a decade ago, but everyone seems to be moving in the same direction.
I decided to try building #FreeCAD from source. I used a F39 toolbox on my #Fedora 40 #Silverblue and installed the prereqs; most from packages, but pyside2 from pip (inside the toolbox) since it hasn't been packaged in Fedora for years. The segfault I'm getting from libshiboken isn't illuminating to me. I could imagine a missing dependency on a package causing a segfault, or maybe no one is building FreeCAD on Fedora and it just doesn't work on F39. 🤔
Not clear that I'm close enough to the beaten path for this to be worth a bug report, though. Quite likely PEBCAK...
I was so happy yesterday! I had a desktop computer that had been sitting around my house for several years, and I decided to bring it back to life. I bought a new NVIDIA RTX 4060 card and a new case for it. I transferred all the old components to the new case and fired it up, installed Fedora Silverblue, and even played a bit of Fallout 4 at full graphics settings. It was such a breeze!
However, today when I tried to turn it on, I think the motherboard just gave out. Looks like it's time for a new CPU, motherboard, and memory.
For the fellow nerds out there, what would you recommend? I'm looking to play some games and compile Rust code.
