I have asked the same question on Reddit and a Fedora maintainer has provided some additional info that goes against what you, me and the general public thinks in terms of Stream being a “rolling release”
CentOS Stream definitely has releases. Stream is a build of the major-release branch of RHEL. Every RHEL minor release is just a snapshot of Stream that gets continued maintenance.
The confusion around this came from some early descriptions of Stream from Red Hat staff, who called it a "rolling release." And one of the reasons I made those diagrams that compare RHEL to other releases is that from the point of view of someone who works on RHEL -- which is a set of feature-stable releases -- the idea that Stream is rolling relative to RHEL makes sense. But that terminology is very confusing, because from the point of view of people who work anywhere else in the Free Software ecosystem, Stream is just a normal stable release, because most of the Free Software community isn't building feature-stable release series like Red Hat is.
I've seen a number of Red Hat engineers call the use of that term a mistake, and they don't use it any more

Opensure Tumbleweed is more like Fedora Rawhide, they get the absolute bleeding Edge. CentOS stream is downstream of Fedora, so you get less newer packages

Isn’t CentOS Stream equivalent to Ubuntu LTS in terms of stability? They both tend to use packages that have been somewhat tested alas not to the point of Debian/RHEL
Loucypher 2 months ago • 50%
It is to match them based on how cutting edge and stable they are
If we take stability as a parameter, is it safe to match them like this? - Fedora --> Ubuntu - CentOS Stream --> Ubuntu LTS - RHEL --> Debian I know that CentOS stream is more kind of a rolling release but... feels like an LTS distro in practice... or it is just me? Edit: adding some context. I am planning to setup a dev machine that I will connect to remotely and would like to babysit very little while having stable **and** fresh packages. In the Ubuntu world we would go to an LTS release but on the RPM/Dnf world is there any other distro apart from CentOS Stream? And also is CentOS Stream comparable to an LTS release at all considering that they do not have release number?

You can install the apk from their website, it cannot be found on the Play store. It can block stuff at the DNS level. If you are on iOS then you can also do that and you can enable the extension for Safari.
I have started with PiHole, then played with AdGuard Home and loved it so much that it replaced my PiH. I kept it until I found Technitium, which can do all of those two can do and more as it can also act as an authoritative DNS. I would not recommend this to those not interested to really play around with DNS.
Long story short, I still have AdGuard on my iPhone but only use it with Safari as the dns filtering has been plagued by a bug and just drains my battery. The disconnect app can do that with little configuration to do. For pure DNS you could also get DNSsecure, I can pass you the link for iOS but it also exists on Android and it is open source :) https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/dnsecure/id1533413232?l=en-GB
This allows you to change the DNS of your phone so it will override Google/Apple or your ISP

That is only if you use it on a phone as it kinda runs like a VPN, right? They can’t do this stuff if you only use their DNS

Old MacBook Airs make great Linux machines. EBay is a good place to look for them
Loucypher 6 months ago • 100%
It is not Linux per se lacking support. This is due to those that make apps/games. And, in fairness, to the fact that dev in Linux has been a bit of a mess in the last few years, with all the Wayland & o shananigans
Loucypher 6 months ago • 100%
Yeah but the current version is based on Bookworm. In other words a lot of drivers are included on it and it is really plug and play. I have I installed it on a 2012 Air and everything just worked out of the box

You should have tried LMDE. That is the best way to get Debian and also ease of install

Perfect is the enemy of good. TrueNAS has been happy and running non stop for 6 months now

Huh actually yes, I have one with TrueNAS on and have created a couple of Zvol connected over USB. It is not like having a big server but it does the job while using little power

Any chromebox can be used for this. You can grab one for cheap from businesses that have decommissioned them

Oh you mean for command line applications, yes, Flatpacks cannot do that yet. Personally I manually enable Snaps in the distros I use, as some apps only exist there, but have been orienting myself where I can limit the exposure to only the packages I want.

You are not buying but I am not selling. This is all stuff you can test yourself.
I have been testing for a few weeks Mint, originally started on 21.2 on an old 2012 MacBook Air… the OS was flying! As I was looking at this now 10 years old machine, now back to usable speed again I was pleasantly surprised. On my desktop was still running Fedora that is just a bit more shiny and has the latest “stable” packages. I had a negative bias on Mint as I disliked the idea of a newbie’s distro and was two steps away from Debian so for some time I left it aside. A couple of weeks after that I decided to dust off an old 2013 iMac for my wife to be using as desktop machine and, she being a windows gal, I thought a safe bet would have been Mint that doesn’t feel alien for those coming from that OS. Again, mind blown by the performance. I decide to play it risky and so I reimagine it with LMDE: everything works out of the box. I just install the NVIDIA driver from Synaptics and then the computer is set. This was the drop that made me go on the rabbit hole. I went on a spree to install LDME on an old gaming laptop that was hidden in the dust for now 5 years and then to a few other machines. (Yeah I have a bit of spare hardware lying around) The last few days I have been thinking to put mint on the main desktop but was afraid of letting GNOME go… and so I decided to test GNOME on one of those LDME machines… Omg…. Mind blown again. Essentially we can now have Debian with all the delicious little Mint tools. This kinda feels like how Debian is supposed to be! But it is Mint! Even GNOME contains all the little things that, on Fedora for example, I used to have to install manually but now they were there already! Like Gnome Tweaks, or extensions like the Places indicator or other small ones… I am not sure I am managing to convey how this feels… I have always wanted to have Debian but Debian has made it, one way or another, impossible for me to stay. Mint is making it possible today. What a blessing of a distro. Rant over. Side note: I think I have fallen in love with Cinnamon, oups!

I am failing to see the interest in having tons of IOT devices to manage, connect, segment, etc… Why would someone want to do it? To be clear, I have friends deep in it but… I still don’t understand. Can anyone try to explain the magic I am failing to see? **Edit:** Thank you all for sharing your experiences! The ones I found more interesting are those that can easily translate in reducing or tracking consumption. The rest I hear but makes more sense when I look at it from an hobbyist perspective.
As per title, have you experienced any distro on this device? Currently torn between mint/Debian or just vanilla Debian
Does any of you know firsthand how the ad industry works? I hate them with all my heart and I already go out of my way to block them but maybe you have been on the other side of the fence and can share some internal insight on what to focus on to really disrupt the data collection. I.e. even if I use uBlock can the ad network still build a profile? Is the benefit only cosmetic on my end? I also run a local AdGuard instance on my network
Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all my friends for years about moving to Fedora (back then it was because I hated Unity) but now… I mean, I know that we are suppose to hate it for Snaps and what not but… Christ, it does run well! In fairness all my VMs are running DietPi (a slimmed version of Ubuntu) and coming back to the APT world feels like coming back home. On the other end forcing myself to be on Fedora allows me to stay on the DNF world that is compatible with Amazon Linux etc (which I use for work), it has updated packages, it is nice and clean…. Argh, don’t know how to decide! Thoughts? I am not in the mood for Debian. I like the Mint approach but I am not a fan of slow rolling releases and also would like to keep myself as close as upstream as possible, the Debian version is the only one that seems reliable enough but, again, it is Debian, the packages are “old”. Pop Os and similar are two hops away from upstream and so I’d rather not. Is Snap really **that** bad? Edit: thank you all for sharing your experience !
