@BrodieOnLinux I did indeed believe the ego boost of what is said here, that using #Firefox helps to try to make a dent in #Chrome monopoly, obviously one person does not make a dent at all, still a nice ego boost.
I do like Firefox dough, it's really good. I also enjoy it on mobile, it just works.
The honest reason I use it on desktop frankly is going to be that's a preinstalled app on #fedora. #justbehonest ( #linux #wayland )
Surely there's a way to say "always allow" to this kind of warning that I'm just not seeing, right?
... right?
Because otherwise, this is a critical bug which makes #GNOME pretty much unusable as a desktop environment for a console-like PC, it pops up every time I try to move the mouse cursor using a controller via #Steam. But surely that's not the case, because it has been like this for many many years, surely it'd have been fixed by now??

I have been using #Fedora 42 immutable for a week or so now and it is so stable i don't have to worry about anything. Despite the fact it isn't released for a few weeks. Kernel 6.13 wasn't great for me for gaming. 6.14 seems miles better
A colleague gave me an old Macbook Pro 9.2, which was too slow even to open Safari or read emails...
After upgrading the ram from 4 to 16gb, changing the old HDD for a new SSD, installing #Fedora... I made a Zoom call while I had 20 tabs open on Firefox, with Nextcloud, Thunderbird, Telegram and Emacs open in the background.
But the thing that amazed me was the strange sense of #empowerment (?) I felt during the process.
Almost ready to wipe my Tumbleweed laptop and start fresh again. Currently leaning towards Bazzite for more stability, easier/supported app installs, and official Framework support. Wondering about app freshness on Bazzite though.
I do need to look more into atomic distros vs rolling (EndeavourOS is also on the table), and how much RedHat controls the Fedora project.
So, I have been using Project Bluefin the past few days, on two separate devices.
One is my now aging "gaming laptop" a circa 2018 nVidia Optimus equipped Dell G7, and the other an all Intel equipped Lenovo T14 that I bought used off eBay a couple years back.
So far I like everything about it... so much so that I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and the suck to appear, but so far there's nothing but pleasant surprise after pleasant surprise.
Fedora Linux 43 may ship with RPM 6, bringing enhanced security features like enforced signature checking and multiple signatures per package.

When I started looking into KDE there was something poking my nerves for quite some time until last year at FOSDEM (2024), how could one switch color schemes in the KDE applications?
One hurdle was down and I started experimenting with several ones, fine you would say? No! :)
Konsole still didn't want to follow color-schemes no matter what I tried, until today, found out (thanks Fedora VM) how they worked and then started checking this on Haiku.
Switched to sway, love it! Easy to transition from i3 and super simple to configure. Now i have everything set up just how i like it. Dotfiles on my github.
I'm actually getting frustrated with running a rolling release; Tumbleweed has had a lot of problems over the last few weeks: graphical login screen crashing to console when I move the mouse, Wayland + KDE Plasma 6 hanging during login just before showing the desktop, CapsLock being locked on when I wake the laptop from sleep.
Bazzite's right there, and Fedora is officially supported on Framework. 
That's a wrap for #SCaLE22x! It was great to see so many familiar faces and have so many great conversations about #Fedora, #Kubernetes, #DevOps, #Nextcloud, #podman, #QBASIC, and other #Linux adventures!
See you all again next year if not sooner!
Ok so using Toolbx (no typo) i can launch an app directly from the terminal (without having to enter the container) by using 'toolbox run', which i have now aliased to 'trun'. This saves a bit of time (assuming i only have one container).
I used to use Distrobox but i am trying to layer as few things as possible now i reswitched back to #Fedora Atomic from Workstation.
Hey #SCaLE22x, I've used @thunderbird for 20 years. Come find me at the #Fedora booth for your bingo.
I think I just ran into a great example of how different tasks can require different energy levels that don't necessarily match their "difficulty".
I recently got a "new to me" laptop and at first set it up with Fedora Workstation but quickly realized I much prefer Fedora Silverblue (not the point of this post, so I won't get into why here) and needed to re setup everything. I didn't want to click through a ton of apps in GNOME Software and install them all individually then organize them in the overview.
So instead of doing all that manually I wrote a bash script from scratch to:
- remove any rpm packages I didn't want
- remove any flatpaks I didn't want
- reinstall fedora flatpaks from flathub
- remove the fedora flatpaks repo
- layer the few rpm packages I wanted
- install all the flatpak apps I wanted.
- create custom folders in the overview
- sort all the apps in those custom folders
- pin my most used apps to the dock
This felt like it required way less energy for me. Not because it was easier or faster. In fact I'm really rusty at bash scripting and I didn't even know how to organize the overview from the terminal, so I even had to learn something new and it probably took me way longer. But writing a little script was more fun for me and therefore didn't feel draining or overwhelming like the tedious task of clicking around for a couple hours would have.
