Convenience, time saved.

Yup. Go back a version of xfreerdp. Done.

sudo dnf downgrade xfreerdp (or whst ever is the name of the package)

I don’t imagine there are many alternatives?

I love it. But this part on their website has me scratching my head:

“Your purchase includes a 12-month Sailfish OS full license subscription valued at €59.88 (€4.99/month), granting access to all releases, commercial components, and feature upgrades. After the first year, you can choose to continue your subscription and support Sailfish OS development further. Even without renewal, your device will continue to function, but future software updates and commercial component upgrades will not be available.”

So does this mean they will be cutting the security updates or just feature updares? Because cutting security updates after a year is a bit of a dick move.

I get that you can always apply patches yourself but … it rubs me the wrong way.

What the fuck are you on about? Jesus christ, we get ragebait in here too now?

Know your usecases. Thats it. Linux isn’t hard if you do.

But no, let me recommend the jet engine service manual to my 6 year old that is learning to read. You’re going to have a bad time.

For the record, since this post and most comments irked me, arch is fine. I’m using arch on my workstation/personal rig for years. Fedora on the laptop because I need a stable work thing. Alpine VMs on the homelab because it needs light and stable.

USECASES!
