I've been looking through the archives recently, and realized that it seems one user always asks why people use debian over fedora, and no one ever responds to him. I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for ignoring you! Here is why I use debian over fedora.
>minimal debian install does not come with networkmanager and pulse audio from the get-go like Fedora's minimal netinstall >In the past, Fedora was not able to use strong encryption due to US export laws. I'm not sure if they still use AES128 instead of AES256 for full disk encryption >need to install a 3rd party repository (RPMfusion) in order to obtain mpv and ffmpeg >Too close to RedHat, a US based corporation for my liking. This means if the US ever passes a law that encryption needs to be backdoored, Fedora will have to switch to backdoored encryption
I hope you see this user, and if not, I'll link to it in the archive if I see you again!

Josiah Barnes
You're a pretty good guy.
Adrian Parker
I want to install debian using full disk encryption but the installer insisted in write random data to my ssd disk first.
How can I install an encrypted debian without kill my ssd disk?
Kevin Rodriguez
Fedora is awesome but I have how they just don't care about font rendering. I'm on the computer 10+ hours a day and that shit makes my eyes bleed.
Nathaniel White
try arch
Camden Ward
I.. I think I'm that user.. Thank you for replying
Jose Thomas
At least I've asked this many times over the past month or 2 and am gonna take it as directed at me :^)
Grayson Roberts
I'm not that autistic.
Oliver Bell
I've always wanted to try Fedora, but I'm just too stupid to install drivers, codecs, flash, and all that stuff.
Every guide and command I try fails.
Nathan Cook
>drivers do you have unusual hardware? fedora has worked out of the box for me for years
Luke Edwards
Just hit cancel? It'll still proceed to set up LUKS or whatever, it just doesn't overwrite the disk with random shit first.
Landon Rivera
Yeah it's definitely you then. I'm sorry for not responding in one instance, I should never have ignored you.
Lincoln Hill
go though the archives, here and on other archive sites, and youll see a fedora shill going on nonstop about how people needing to switch to fedora. I just set up filters for Sup Forums, now that I think about it I might have to add fedora to them because of this fag.
Brayden Phillips
I dont use debian, and Ive never seen you ask in a thread. but Ill answer anyway. I tried fedora server and the network manager thing was bullshit and reminded me of mysql.
If you are the fag that has been making threads about fedora for months and ignores all of the replies then you cant act like nobody ever tells you.
Brandon Rivera
> (You) > (You) >If you are the fag that has been making threads about fedora for months and ignores all of the replies then you cant act like nobody ever tells you. Ah no, I'm pretty sure plenty of people have made fedora threads. I was specifically asking about Debian vs Fedora. Try not to get so angered on an Egyptian pallbearer support forum.
Eli Ramirez
>pallbearer you got that right. I tread though the catalog like Im walking though oncology.
Jason Rodriguez
That's a cute boy.
Anthony Wood
its a roach.
Alexander White
The hell is wrong with network manager and pulse audio? They work fine.
Lucas Barnes
>no adams apple >hands >collar bone nice try friendo
Jacob Rogers
just sayin, those traits arnt guaranteed. if they block testosterone early on then none of those things would have developed. also the dick wouldnt have grown so no inside out dick pussy.
Dylan Allen
He's male tho.
Noah Lee
>network manager its very grating to have to use its cli interface. it wouldnt be so bad if it took the netctl approach. also the first time I tried to install fedora the installer fucked up and it couldnt find an interface or something. wasted over an hour trying to trouble shoot it only to give up, wipe the install, redo the install exactly the same and somehow it magically worked the second time.
Angel Smith
>minimal debian install does not come with networkmanager and pulse audio from the get-go like Fedora's minimal netinstall Oh hi hello, Fedora's cloud images do not include NetworkManager; rather, they use the LSB "network" service. Same goes for pulseaudio! By the way, it's easy to craft a kickstart matching your personal preferences. >In the past, Fedora was not able to use strong encryption due to US export laws. I'm not sure if they still use AES128 instead of AES256 for full disk encryption Hello again! This never happened. >need to install a 3rd party repository (RPMfusion) in order to obtain mpv and ffmpeg RPMfusion is pretty much a standard repo, maintained by the pretty much the same people revolving around fedora. Without rpmfusion you're sure you won't have proprietary stuff at all. >Too close to RedHat, a US based corporation for my liking. This means if the US ever passes a law that encryption needs to be backdoored, Fedora will have to switch to backdoored encryption Hello again! This is pure plain inane bullshit, and you know it. Linux and Mr. Torvalds are US-centered as well, might as well start using a kernel developed by Russia or something?
Xavier Morris
Oh, no.. I need real proof pronto.
Aaron Sanchez
Oh fuck I didn't realize who it was
Grayson Foster
It goes to a weirdo list of process for the installer if I hit cancel :c
Christian Martinez
Now I'm curious, who you thought he was?
David Green
Some rando. Had never seen that pic and it doesn't look like him at all to me desu..
Brayden King
You have to do a expert install and go through all the steps one by one. To do a full disk encrypted with luks, choose to encrypt sda2 first, and then format that encrypted partition as a luks one.
Nathaniel Brown
Ok... I can understand now why Torvalds dislike debian installer.
