  • What is your favorite desktop environment?

    At the risk of being downvoted to hell, but to offer a different perspective, my answer is, that my favorite DE for Linux (not only Fedora) is... Windows with WSL(g). I'm a huge Fedora fan, have installed it bare-metal, but use fedoraremix WSL distro almost exclusively. The problem with that solution is that it requires an absurdly huge amount of memory to work comfortably, so I admit, that it is not a good solution for any system with less than 32GB of RAM.

    You could download the msix bundle for fedora remix from Github or using winget: winget install --id whitewaterfoundry.fedora-remix-for-wsl
  • Podman v4.2.0 Released

    BTW. I'm not using Ubuntu WSL, and I'm on fedoraremix instead - you can install it for free from https://github.com/WhitewaterFoundry/Fedora-Remix-for-WSL/releases. As of now it installs Fedora 35, but you can upgrade it to 36 and there you have podman 4.2.0 available for install. Maybe it would solve some of your issues?

    Disclaimer. I am not using Windows to test above solutions anymore. More than a year ago I used [2] but from a casual look maybe [1] is better now.
