Delilah (She/Her)

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

I’m an arch user (primarily) but I wear my socks at NixOS, Mint or sometimes Fedora because I never threw out my pre egg-crack socks.

1. This is the entire theme of Ascendance of a Bookworm by Miya Kazuki
2. In a job I had a while back, I’d put up a pull request on bitbucket and send out a teams message saying basically “okay done, anyone see any problems?” and far too often I’d get an immediate approval that implied to me that everyone trusts me too much to bother checking my work and… that just hurts inside. Like we’re all responsible for preventing bad code! Stop trusting me to get things right the first time, I shouldn’t have to be my own watcher! Just once I’d like to make a mistake and have someone else catch it…

• Fedora makes very minimal changes to downstream. The gnome experience on fedora is the experience the devs intended, for better or worse.
• It often experiments with new technologies. It was the first to ship pulseaudio out of box. And then again for pipewire. And if it wasn’t the first to install wayland by default, it probably was the first to stop shipping XOrg out of box.
• It doesn’t install snaps instead of native packages when you run rpm install
• It’s also Linus Torvald’s distro of choice if that’s worth anything

If you’re going to shill a corpo distro, at least shill a decent one like fedora.
