Hey Phoronix got me through some kind of puzzling stuff relatively unscathed. I just liked some of the more pointed comments from this article, like its either RPM and reboot or Flatpak from the cloud.

Ha, no offense meant at phoronix. It is their brand of click baity headlines I am not a fan of. Their performance suite is something that is useful taken in context. I just wish they would do something more substantial and take it to the next level. You see all the great ingredients and then the work is left as an exercise to the reader ;-).

Techrights however, I won't even bother.

I never personally used MS much past dos 6.2. I think thats because I got a late start in computing and was exposed to Linux early on. I think I joined tlug in 95 or 96 and settled into Red Hat. So like most people, I poke fun at the things that scare me, like having to learn a whole new OS updating mechanisim. Or having to fudge rpm packages into apt updates.
