Next time when someone asks me which #Linux do I use my answer will be
@darth but where is all the fun in that?
Why not a more elaborate answer like:
I started out with #slackware
Than I switched to #mandrake (now #mandriva) for the sole reason it had the right drivers for my cd-rw drive.
I looked at #debian a few times and still use that in a lot of places when I want a system that I can keep sort of up to date but especially stable.
I have used #gentoo and #arch but found them lacking as a server operating system.
I have used some #redhat and #centos and #rocky and #alma and the likes but those always seem to be failing in places I don’t expect them too and I don’t really like their package manager systems.
I have dabbled in #suse and #opensuse now and then, but back in the day I was often put off by unexpected parts of German language interface that distracted me.
I did use #manjaro and #popOS and #mint but by now their user friendliness seems to hold me back rather than help me...
I've opened up the Centos-vault archive on the FCIX mirror, so anyone who's looking to grab all of CentOS-vault, or any chunk of it, feel free to use these URLs instead of the main vault to reduce the load on that poor box this week. #centos
rsync://mirror.fcix.net/centos-vault/

This morning's activity is working my way through the #MicroMirror fleet performing s/centos/almalinux.
Dropping the /centos/ module is freeing up a decent amount of disk space on these nodes, so Alma is picking up eight new mirrors because of it. #Almalinux #Centos
Fedora 40 came with a lot of announcements, and not all from Fedora! In case you missed it, here is a roundup of all the news related to Fedora Linux 40 from us and our open source down streams @UniversalBlue, @bluebuild, @ultramarine, @centos, and more! Oh, and the news from @slimbook and @frameworkcomputer :)

I feel like not enough people fully grasp how awesome Image Mode RHEL and bootc are. Seriously this is next Gen awesome and I think will become foundational to how immutable/atomic Linux distros are built in the next few years. SO COOL. ❤️

While having a foundation for foundation's sake is indeed a burden, humanity REALLY needs more operating systems with foundations rather than for-profit companies.
Else, #CentOS

Unlike bloated solutions like #Spacewalk or #Landscape, this framework of QualvoSec is characterized by its minimalistic design, ensuring simplicity and ease of use. It operates entirely in Python, utilizing only a handful of imports to streamline the user experience.

You will recognise me by an ugly Christmas sweater or I'll wear a shirt with my avatar (depending on if I'm freezing).
Just an important note for everyone who'll come by car - keep in mind that you need an approval/permission to enter the environmental (low emission) zone in #Brussels (#Belgium) by car.
If your car mets the conditions you can register your license plate for free here: https://lez.brussels/mytax/en/
See you soon!
