I think it's more related to the language importance than it's size. We have continental countries (Russia, Brazil, etc) that you can also drive for a week without leaving and learning English is important there.

If the world had chosen another language for communication probably US citizens would need to learn another language still.

Wait and see you distrohopping every month for years ending up in a boring stable distro.

Have been using this LTS since its release and it has been rock solid for my use case. It basically goes out of my work, just works and issues are minor. The most stable Ubuntu that I ever used

As an addition to other responses, think that most apps (specially smaller ones) are developed using some framework or set of libraries that might or might not support those protocols.

So let's pretend that I have an app buit using Electron and that framework does not support Wayland. There's nothing I can do on the app side until Electron supports Wayland in this fake example.

So it actually takes time for the libraries to support the new protocol and then app developers to update their apps to support it aswell.

That's why you see that the Wayland migration is incremental and not all at once.

As someone that uses FreeBSD as its main server, it's kinda the other way around haha

Nowadays I don't even bother with upgrades anymore. Snaps and Flatpaks auto updates automatically, and for system updates Ubuntu notifies once a week.

For me the experience nowadays is better than before, where app updates are tied to system updates, meaning that older bases (like Ubuntu LTS) got behind on some softwares.

In Brazil I only see more and more places adopting it, does not seem a failure

In Brazil I pay 20 USD for 500mb. There are plans in my area that sells 1gb for 30 USD. Thay can't put data caps due to legislation, only on mobile data (which I pay 6usd for 20gb cap, 5g)

Don't be like them and generalize everything. Browsers are complex piece of software with many use cases. For mine for example Firefox works great without major issues. It might not be the case for you and that's fine!

I think the key here is to favor stability than latest features as you don't want your server stopping due to bugs.

So the systems being recommended here, like Debian and Ubuntu LTS are good.

Yes, and that's why I switched to Kagi

Why don't you install flatpak on Ubuntu, make the packaging migration before doing the OS migration so you can evaluate your workflow with the new packaging system? Afer you're used and confident with flatpak, backup and restore the flatpak folder into fedora and you transition should be smoother (don't need to worry with 2 stuff at the same time)

That would be the same of hating docker because it creates networks. It's just how it's sandbox works.

Canonical also tried this a few years ago with their Ubuntu Touch crowdfunding and failed. Even released some convergent devices but that didn't sell much. My impression is that although the concept is cool it is simply not appealing for the general audience

An open source alternative is FRP

It's a reverse proxy server that you install in both your server and a VM in the cloud, and it tunnels your server over the VM, like Cloudfare solution.

What do you use as a Google Photos replacement?

I decided to get back into Minecraft to try to finish the End Dragon

It uses activity pub, a protocol that allows servers to share content. So when you post on an instance, it became available for other instances to consume your content.

About slowness, it can be that your instance it being rate limited, or it is not powerful enough to process all its users. You can try another instance.

Activity pub documentation: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

If you remove the app-platform role from Nextcloud by separately hosting the individual apps, what benefit do you get from having both Nextcloud and File Browser?

Nothing really. For almost any Nextcloud feature out there, you can find a server app that does the same.

But that's the point in my opinion. I don't want to waste time managing tons of apps if I can manage one Nextcloud instance. Nextcloud basically decides for me what's the best way to get those features running, so I don't need to figure out myself.

Now if you're into self hosting one container for each feature, go for it, no reason to not do so.

Stray. It's an awesome game to play casually, lots of fun pluzzes.
