What Linux Operating Systems do you like?

[Rainmaker]

Thanks I'll take a look at that. The reason I reached for it was I've been trying out iperf3.16 as it's been updated to use multithread cpu now. I got pretty frustrated trying to plant an OS that was easy to push across multiple systems... wsl old bare metal and new ish stuff, tried Arch Debian which just didn't translate as well. It runs better than I expected though.

Here you go mate.

Either download the binary linked in the README and put it in /usr/local/bin or wherever, or download the source, then:

./configure
make
sudo make install

Latest version of multi-threaded iperf3, stable base system. Done!

The latest release of Hexchat will be the final as nobody has offered to take over the project.

I'm spinning up some more rust just to see if it's worth paying the £79p for the WSL version!

Christ, no. Don't pay for the 'unofficial' WSL. Grab the free AlmaLinux one instead, it's the same base (Red Hat Enterprise Linux - downstream of Fedora).

e: Or install it in Hyper-V?

 

[Ad_Augendae]

Don't like hyper-v the installer is the same as well more or less, good start..

I didn't look that hard if I'm being honest (unofficial)
Ummm, all built now, I do have a problem.. well not a problem but iperf3 starts in ipv6 mode I have to force -4 no big deal I guess. I like the way you just get to choose GUI-server, pretty funky.

I just disabled ipv6 via grubby, boots to ipv4 now. No need for ipv6 for this experiment anyway!

I tried from IPv6 enabled hosts and from IPv4-only hosts and it always defaulted to IPv4 for me. Just one of those things I guess, but as you said throwing in the -4 switch is no biggie if needs must!

I don't recall Fedora doing that, 3.16 was installed from the package-manager though, Rocky was built from source, I guess if you let it fly.. etc
It just gives this message... warning: this system does not seem to support IPv6 - trying IPv4.

Indeed. I span up a Neon live USB and it's very nice indeed, some nice little touches. I'm not sure on the floating task bar (which turns into a docked one after use) but it's certainly got an extra level of polish and some nice little touches.

Old KDE was a bit rubbish. New KDE is excellent and it's now my no.1 DE.

I'm still running TuxedoOS. Waiting on TuxedoOS 3 with KDE 6 the I'll do a clean install of it.

I’d give it a try regardless as deep down I think I enjoy suffering

But yeah, I’m hearing good things thus far

Fedora wants to port the new rust based Cosmic desktop and they have confirmed that they will go wayland only.

Excited to see whether Cosmic was worth the wait. Also feels necessary for some distros to push Wayland and keep that momentum going.

My main concern is whether they continue to support it long term… *coughs* Canonical *coughs*

Feels like the whole distro is really dated at this point, but I know they were focusing on this and a couple other things. I found them to be a good balance between Ubuntu and Fedora so we'll have to see.

They are incentivised to do this well as they ship it with their hardware, so I'm quietly optimistic.
