ok i was just thinking that because id seen this article a couple weeks ago: "dnf update" considered harmful

No this has to do with doing regular updates (not upgrading to a next release) inside of your X sesh and the X server crashing and borking your update.

If you use dnf-system-upgrade it will download and prepare everything, then reboot to do the actual upgrade. It's pretty painless.

Fedora 23 ❤️ Parallels, apparently 24 too but Fedora wants to update to 25 and Parallels is all ☹️

I mean I use CentOS 7 at work which I just had to downgrade from 7.3 to 7.2 because the special snowflake builds don't work in production.

Parallels is trash, use vmware

fedora wiped my zfs dkms stuff a while back and i had to track down older kernel packages. i wish it would stop the upgrade if it couldn't build the modules but idk how any of that stuff works

You can always boot an older kernel

hifi posted:

im a bit fuzzy on what happened, but fedora only has 1 kernel-headers package installed and i think it cleaned everything out when it triggered a rebuild. maybe i screwed it up myself but i remember tracking down an older set of kernel packages and pinning them to that version until zfs updated.

You have to install the metapackage for kernel headers instead of specific ones, that way it will always get updated with your kernel.

I've had to use freebsd on the command line when helping out a friend and it's very similar to a frustrating dialect.... I had to look up how to do a lot of system administration tasks and the concepts are the same, but the implementation is slightly off. And then there's zfs.

As opposed to what, Linux? It's just more unix-y because well, it's an actual Unix.

I think I read something about this AGL being done for cost reasons because ofc it'd be cheaper to have just one computer instead of a whole bunch

the approach to security would then be to use some Xen variant for "securely" segregating VM's.
