• SUSE working on a RHEL fork

  First, it is important to state that Stream is not a rolling release, at least not in the sense that you are thinking. It is "rolling" within a major release, but so are plenty of Linux Distributions. This is also why the centos.org website stopped using "rolling", and started using "continuos" instead at December 2020 (commit). So anyone that keeps using this wording is intentionally being misleading or... Source: 10 months ago

• Keeping Open Source Open: Rocky Linux

  I get that Red Hat has shown themselves to be less than trust worthy given the sunset of CentOS 8, the removal of the centos.org repo updates and the characterization of anyone who uses their software via a clone distro as being a "freeloader" or "parasite". Source: 10 months ago

• what is the typical size of Linux updates?

  This might be a good use case for RHEL family distribution (such as CentOS Stream or AlmaLinux) or Debian. These are much longer lived distributions, and provide fewer update churn over time than other distributions. Source: 11 months ago

• How to learn Linux , what to learn in Linux , how to prove them i know linux?

  The easiest approach to this is to download CentOS 7 from centos.org. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Wallpaper from CentOS

  I looked out for days now but didn’t find anything. I’m looking for the stock wallpaper from CentOS Stream. Like the background on their official website: Https://centos.org Does anybody have more luck or better sources than me? Thank you in advance. Source: about 2 years ago

Alpine Linux mentions (25)

• Installing Debian bookworm without systemd

  Anyway, if you're after a distro that doesn't use systemd and is a joy to use and tinker with, take a look at Alpine [0]. It is a lot more compact and faster compared to other distros for using Musl instead of Glibc, which means you may find software that has not been ported yet, however so far I've installed it also on mini PCs and laptops with great results. 0: https://alpinelinux.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• AWS is asleep at the Lambda wheel

  ×You can deploy your own arbitrary base images to Lambda, for example images based on Alpine or Debian Linux. To work with Lambda, these images must implement the Lambda Runtime API. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fix rustup failed with "error: linker `cc` not found" on Alpine Linux 3.17 (Rust 1.66)

  Alpine Linux offers Rustup package as well as Rust. I built the development environment with Docker. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Does it make sense to try to install / maintain a gentoo system in a vm for learning more about Linux?

  Gentoo could provide an easy way to learn about init systems other than systemd. But in practice, coming from Arch, Artix is probably a better choice for most of the alternatives except for OpenRC (Gentoo or Alpine is better for that) and the traditional LSB init.d setup (where Devuan is really the only practical option anymore). I’m specifically mentioning Artix here because it is Arch, just with proper support... Source: over 1 year ago

• How to create small Docker images for Rust

  Alpine Linux is a security-oriented, lightweight Linux distribution based on musl libc and busybox. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
