    > I was looking at this just last night and the story with Ubuntu is horrible. That's essentially going to be stuck on v3.4 for ten years because it's "a lot of work" to get into that distribution.

    They used to provide relatively recent builds in their kubic repos. Unfortunately, for some reason, they decided to discontinue it[0]. They mentioned some CVEs or something in some issues raised around this, but to me that means pushing a new version/build and not discontinuing it.

    Anyway, one of the members of the Containers org provides unstable kubic repos[1][2] for non RH systems. Unfortunately, this includes RCs, and non-stable versions, which is fine to get bleeding edge, but I'd rather just have the stable versions.

    Due to the above, I've written some scripts to build deb packages for all the latest stable versions. So hopefully you can simply download the deb from GH releases[3] and then `dpkg -i *.deb && apt-get install -f`.

  • 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.
