Linux

title, and to be clear I mean for my usecase specifically. Redhat is being absorbed into IBM and i'm a little worried about how that might affect the fedora project. I'm aware that they've been owned by IBM for a while but we are seeing all the typical signs of a company about to go to shit thanks to bad management. I am looking into and preparing to switch in case the fedora project is messed up as well.

I use my pc mainly for gaming (so steam is required) and stuff in my browser and I have a gtx 1650 (can't get new stuff bc i'm broke) so although I don't need the proprietary drivers necessarily, I prefer them. I use KDE with a handful of kwin scripts (like temp virtual desktops and karousel) and some cosmetic stuff like klassy, better blur, and a custom color scheme. I need all of that to remain possible. I currently use fedora kde edition, but I have been looking into immutable distros because I don't know what I'm doing and I want to have a much lower chance of breaking stuff (or at least a way to easily unbreak it). I also want something at least reasonably up-to-date, because I like to get new features quickly. I don't need to get them as fast as something like arch, but ubuntu and debian are way to slow for me.

what do y'all think would work best for me? I've looked at a few things but I haven't been able to find anything but fedora that serves my usecase the way I want it to yet.

Legal, HR, Finance, and Accounting moving to IBM from 2026. Engineering and others staying put… for now.

• Backward compatibility is broken. Be careful.
• Now data uses \0 as a separator between process name and parameters instead of previously used space. It is important and will help to avoid any problems with spaces in paths and process names.
• CLI is slightly changed: -w is for human-readable output, -r for raw, script convenient, format.
• New -c "--clear" parameter for removing process data from a single file or all files in a directory (including subdirectories)
• New -d "--dir" parameter for printing out the short summary for the dir (process name, number of files, total size of those files)
• Some refactoring: mostly translating C to C++.
