Toolbox solved that.

It’s not that I can’t run Docker or Plex, it’s just that doing so on any immutable distro is a pain in the ass compared to the relatively simple set up on a standard distro.

I’m fine with standard Fedora WS.

Docker should run OOTB. Also, there's toolbox, where you can run anything inside, even daemons. And Flatpaks, too. Avoid messing with the core. On Gnome, well, Fedora it's almost its home.

Just get the default Gnome spin and look up for info (online) in order to replace Fedora's Flatpak repo to the Flathub one.

Since I run both Docker and Plex Media Server, atomic spins aren’t really a good option for me. The way they interact with certain system files is pretty much incompatible with an immutable distro. The number of workarounds that I would have to employ in order to get it all to work would be a gigantic headache and would pretty much undo any advantage I would gain.

Also, I really don’t like cosmic desktop. I used to use PopOS, and I was very excited for it, but when they switched to it, it just really wasn’t ready, and I still don’t think it’s ready yet. Plus it offers no framework for extensions or plug-ins yet. I far prefer GNOME, and GNOME 51 got some massive performance improvements. Plus, it looks almost exactly like macOS, which I really like.

Fedora Atomic works really well, even better with the Cosmic edition I use. I can't wait to the kernel upgrade (7.3) in order to get even more performance. Altough I'll keep an old Hyperbola setup for my old netbook because my biggie amd64 machine it's mainly for Rust and modern gaming (Total Chaos and the rest are either libre games such as FreedroidRPG or libre recompilations). The netbook runs faster and snappier on CLI+TUI under UXTerm + CWM + TMUX (and mpv/nsxiv/mupdf...).

New? Exciting? That’s not the fedora experience. Fedora is boring and stable. And that’s the whole point of it. It’s extremely well designed and extremely well-made and it just works. It’s not trying to impress anyone with some flashy new feature that might make the system unstable or unreliable in anyway, and it’s not trying to make some flashy changes to the interface that people have to constantly adjust to.

Nope. Stable, reliable, and boring that’s what I love about it. Lol.

I’ve got it installed on my 2011 iMac that use as a plex server. Runs great.

Gnome 51 certainly came with some performance improvements that were very noticeable on my very very old server, but others might not have noticed on a more modern machine.

Updated to Fedora 45 Workstation without a hitch and I didn't notice anything new or exciting but that is honestly OK with me. One of the things I dislike about modern updates (e.g. Android) is that they always seem to change how things look or function with little obvious benefit. I have been using Fedora since 43 and the only thing I had to fiddle with was the Super I/O module so that I could get "Sensors" working and it has been rock solid since then through two major updates.

I love the combination of the clean UI and desktop environment, great gaming performance, and packages that are "almost" rolling-release fresh. I haven't tried Arch yet but I did start out with Ubuntu about 10 years ago and Mint more recently so Fedora seems like a solid middle of the road option which I definitely recommend for anyone who is looking to try out a different distro.

I just mark the due date as an event with a date using Thunderbird's calendar

You don't want me, I'm just curious as to how one calculates the factorial of linux

Have you tried submitting a PR to Thunderbird?

I shall work

At one point while looking for a calendar app I needed one that could import events from a text file (not ics) and khal was recommended. I was able to import 250 events in one command. I didn't want a cli calendar, but I ended up just keeping that one installed along with todoman for task lists. It isn't ideal, but I haven't noticed the problem you have said about due dates and start dates.

It's terminal (well, has a gui if you want) based, which always is a big plus for me. It allows for a lot of tinkering. Here's a link to the website FAQ, is you want more. Username/Password == notabot/notabot

If you like tinkering, customizing your .*rc files, then you'll probably enjoy it. If you don't like the terminal or tinkering with txt files, then your mileage may vary. Although the Tcl/Tk gui is pretty user friendly.

What makes Remind awesome?

ProjectLibre sounded interesting, but they're pushing their subscription SaaS product hard. That kind of mindset doesn't bode well for it's future. I would look elsewhere. The term "libre" doesn't belong on paid subscriptions.

I just use Remind, which is the best calendar app ever. If you aren't happy with the calendar on Thunderbird, do you maybe want to take the step to using a full project management app, like ProjectLibre, GanttProject, Gnome Planner, et. al?

Proton calendar because i get the notifications on my phone

As a Fedora Atomic Cosmic edition user, it perfectly supports them.

Ask the AI that wrote the app.

Unless Cosmic specifically supports Flatpaked applets, it's not possible. Applets should be part of the system. Or are you talking about an app?

Tip of the day: When an admin of an instance adivses you not to break the Terms of Service… consider refraining from doing so.

Good-bye.

Do not use ableist slurs on Lemmy.World.

On Debian I have freely installed Gnome, KDE, and one or the other of the LX ones, and had no perceptible problems.

However, I just tried to shortcut installing KDE on a vanilla Ubuntu, and boy, they don't handle that well.

After using Arch and Debian (two great distros) I have been using Mint for the last 7 years or so and I have yet to feel any desire to change distro: it's just what I was looking for.

'Better' only exists in regards to specific needs: what do you think is not as good as it should be with Mint? Then ytou will be able to decide if this or that other distros offering it are indeed better ;)
