So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit… issues… I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

    I use Rocky! Thanks a lot @Leigh ! Great work. I wish Rocky/Alma wouldn’t go in the way of redhat with dropping support of rpm for libreoffice but I know it’s a pipedream.

      I’m glad you enjoy it :) They’re following what Red Hat is doing because they’re intended to mimic precisely RHEL. We used to say that Rocky is a “bug for bug” mirror of RHEL. So they have no choice but to follow suit.

        I know :( I followed the drama around btrfs being removed. I wish someone did a community respin of Rocky with more general stuff that wouldn’t be bug for bug compatible but fill the Debian niche in Red Hat space.
