Greetings! I come from EndeavourOS(Arch).

I’m a growing college freshman with big dreams about open source and Linux.

I’ve never used an RHEL based system before. I wanted extra stability over Arch but still wanted the latest packages available. Fedora seemed like the perfect system.

I joined because I have some issues with Gnome-software. Some packages don’t show up for reason. If I can get that fixed then I think I might fully convert to Fedora.

I hope to become a software engineer/entrepreneur for developing Linux software and hardware(think SYstem76 but for my spin of Fedora).

I hope to learn from all of you great people in the hopes of making my dreams.

Welcome, @suppaman . As an Arch Linux and Fedora Linux user, I think you have chosen well.

Welcome! You’ve definitely come to the right place to talk about things like making a Remix. For the GNOME Software questions, our sibling site Ask Fedora is more focused on end-user help and might be more directly relevant. Either way, glad to have you on board!

I’m a longtime Fedora user focused on games. I’ve developed some games from scratch and fixed up others. I maintain a few packages in Fedora. Recently I’ve been trying to increase the profile of open source games. I did a talk about restoring old free software games at the last LibrePlanet. I’ve done a few talks about Gamerzilla, my open source game achievement system. Feel free to see what I’ve been playing.

Where would be the best place for a wild pitch on a remix idea to set up a “consumer cloud”?

Essentially I’m thinking of a Minikube-focused remix on Silverblue (for immutability) to set up a publicly traded cloud service commodities market, hosted in the world’s largest “semi-reliable” Kubernetes service mesh :slight_smile:

I figure if big tech got to make huge profits last year from spare cloud computing capacity, why not let people sell extra resources from their home computers?

Hi, I am Nicolai

I am new to Fedora and as I have not used a non-container OS on a server for years, I thought I’ll give Silverblue a try. The concept sounded elegant but more end user machine friendly than NixOS. I hope for a friendly community for people of all kinds of backgrounds as long as they are kind and caring. I studied cultural anthropology and philosophy, I work in the realm of DevOps, SRE and Resilience engineering, I like trains, recumbent bikes and I collect cute stickers.

Hello !
I am Yann.
I started using Linux since kernel 1.2.7 (bought with a book and a CD with Slackware).
I work with Fedora since it was one digit old :slight_smile:
I made music using Fedora and I manage a COPR repository with tools for music under Fedora (since Fedora 20 as far as I remember).
Check out the gloomy / horror / chiptune music I made using LMMS and various other tools on Fedora on Jamendo:

I use Fedora Live to with a friend of mine playing metal and dance:

Hi, I’m fuller (also my FAS).
I’m a Linux user since being introduced to Debian in college and have been running Fedora since Verne (16). I’m a PhD research engineer in combustion chemistry from the US, now living in Germany, moving next to Israel. (I keep thinking the next stop could be the last stop…).
My contributions extend to testing and some scientific software/LaTeX on GitHub (mefuller)

I wonder for how many academia people the main entry to Open Source is actually through LaTeX.

That’s definitely the case for me, as I started to use Linux because of emacs-auctex package. And also my first use of git was to store my PhD thesis on GitHub :slight_smile:

I think, in my field, the plurality gateway is Octave to replace Matlab (works best when the license server goes down and they can’t make their plots). Python use is widespread, but it doesn’t really make an impression as far as the FOSS holy wars go, in my experience.

Since I’ve been hear over now, I’ll introduce myself :laughing:
I’m Tor, and I try to help out with the growing Mobility SIG. I mostly use Fedora Silverblue, but am also running Fedora IoT on a raspberry pi for some containers (pihole) and desktop Rawhide for developing for the mobile image.

Here we go and greetings from Norway :slight_smile:

I’m originally from Germany but moved to Norway for many years ago.
I’m an inspector for electrical installations. Thus, the energy is under my control :smiley:

I startet with Fedora Core 4. I tested SuSE Linux, Debian and Ubuntu but went back again to Fedora. I followed Fedora through every release :slight_smile: From Fedora 26 and above the Fedora Server Edition became interesting to me. I played around with Centos but the packages wasn’t not up to date enough over the time. I decided to give the Fedora’s Server Edition a try. And yeah, Fedora 33 Server Edition runs almost satisfied. I am struggling with some challenges which I will hopefully find solutions her?
For the rest there’s my family and when I’ve a little bit of sparetime I like to design something with Blender and E-on Software VUE.

Best regards,
Woti
