I was wondering what happened to the proposal from a month ago…
I understood Matthew’s position as “this should be discussed in the Workstation WG first”, not as a “no”:
in favor of the process outlined above (tl;dr: talk to the Workstation WG, and if that does not come to a satisfying outcome, file a Council ticket for next possibilities).
It also seemed more likely that they would promote KDE without demoting Gnome.
But was there a follow-up on that (e.g. in the Workstation WG)?
I’m glad Fedora comes with the most usable no-bs/out-of-the-way (in my subjective experience) DE by default. Yes I do run it with Tweaks and a few extensions, but otherwise I have no need for extensive customization for customization’s sake (which seems so many ppls problem with GNOME, smth that I couldn’t find more irrelevant), since everything about its UI/UX is so intuitive. I understand if people don’t like its opinionated workflow, but it’s just right for me personally…
I don’t get the proposal either way bc Fedora has always been the spearhead of vanilla GNOME and there is an official KDE spin iirc
Or you can run OpenSuSE which comes with one of the best Kde versions by default.
It’s another enterprise type distribution that’s rock solid. It also has a rolling version.
1lso it’s based in Europe, which some see as a plus.
I plan on switching to Slowroll once it’s matured, but I think I’ll stay with Gnome :p
Slowroll does sound like a great model for versioning and patching software.
But for the actual package management I dont want to use anything but rpm-ostree. The immutable OpenSUSE variants are a joke and dont offer any real benefits over Tumbleweed to my knowledge (after having researched them).
Fedora may offer that “more stable package set” when sticking to the old release, currently F39. Not its still less seemless.
