When did you start offering swimming lessons @BrodieOnLinux?

ugh. $260 CAD for a 10 year passport. this citizen thing is a racket.

Ailunarenth,

The more and more I read and hear about Canada, the more convinced I've become that it is just as dystopian as the United Kingdom.

Ailunarenth,

What even is your purpose for existing as a distribution when people can more or less do the same on Fedora? Nobara at the very least has its gimmick of being a Fedora-based Linux distribution focused on gaming. I've yet to really hear about any defining qualities which set Ultramarine Linux aside from the rest other than being yet another RHEL derivative.

Ailunarenth,

Just thought of something interesting worth sharing that you could do to distinguish yourselves from Fedora while continuing to provide the quality of life changes that you are known for @ultramarine. You could rebase yourselves on Fedora Rawhide to become a rolling release in a similar vein to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed while providing the stability and ease of use that Ultramarine Linux is known for.

I believe this would be a very cool and meaningful way to set yourselves apart as a standalone project and not just another Linux distribution riding on the coattails of RHEL as Red Hat likes to think of their clones. In this sense, you would be more akin to Manjaro who are doing their own thing independently from Arch Linux despite being based on the latter.

Thought I would provide some tangible solutions to coincide with my constructive criticism from the other day.

Edit: Sorry for the multiple notifications for those tagged. 😫

Ailunarenth,

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed which I cited in my previous post is an example of a rolling release done right. Nothing is stopping you from providing a rock-solid and stable experience on a Linux Distribution derived from Fedora Rawhide. How stable a distribution is ultimately comes down to how stable you want to make it. You could, for example, have an atomic filesystem using BTRFS snapshots and that alone would drastically reduce the likelihood of something breaking causing damage to the system and inconvenience from that.

Ailunarenth,

OpenSUSE uses something called Snapper which has functionality built-in to provide atomic transactions whenever zypper is used to manage packages. There was an AUR package which aims to replicate this functionality on Arch Linux so it shouldn't be too difficult to either fork the package or create a script to do the same for DNF. Back when I transitioned from Manjaro to Arch Linux proper, I used BTRFS with snapper and pacsnap to provide atomic transactions for pacman which combined with the option to boot from previous snapshots in the Grub menu at startup made for an incredibly stable system.

That's why I personally don't buy it when people say that Arch Linux or that the rolling release model is too unstable or unreliable to use in production. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed manages just fine, so it should be possible for other Linux distributions to follow in their footsteps and achieve similar results without compromising on their mission statement.
