Switching desktop Linux from Debian to Fedora
Last week I switched the operating system on my daily driver (Lenovo ThinkPad T14s) from Debian 12 to Fedora 40. In this post I write a little about why I switched and how the switch went.
How to create Bash aliases in Fedora
Creating your own Bash aliases is a relatively easy process. That said, I recently switched my desktop linux distribution from Debian to Fedora and there are subtle differences.

Fedora 41 upgrade 😚👌
The new default terminal application in Fedora is pretty. I love that it has the Dracula theme included in its theme options.
I purchased my current laptop a year ago. It’s a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s and it’s been nearly perfect for my needs. I got the model with 16GB of RAM, I should have opted for the 32GB model. My next laptop will have 32GB or more.
Looking forward to upgrading my daily driver to Fedora 41. I’ve been running 41 on a test system for the last month and it’s been solid.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it is far easier to set a custom new tab page and create a custom search engine in Firefox on iOS than it is in Firefox on my Linux desktop. This does not seem right.
New accent colours in GNOME 47 are nice. I like slate.
Upgrade from Fedora 40 to Fedora 41 Beta complete. 40 is an excellent release and I'm excited to see how 41 progresses.
Found a machine to test the Fedora 41 Beta on. Performing the upgrade from 40 now.
Looking forward to giving the Fedora 41 Beta a try. I've not got any spare machines at the moment, so it'll have to be tested in a virtual machine to begin with.
I don't game much these days, but tonight I connected a Xbox controller to my Fedora gaming box for the first time and played some Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr (that's a mouthful) on Steam. Everything just worked and the game plays much better with a controller than with keyboard and mouse. I'm now tempted to move that machine into the living room and connect it to our TV for some big screen gaming.

The Insecurity of Debian - unix.foo In the end, the choice between Debian and Red Hat isn’t just about corporate influence versus community-driven development. It’s also a choice between a system that assumes the best and one that prepares for the worst. Unfortunately in today’s highly connected world, pessimism is a necessity.
