From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's still possible on almost any distro with pyenv or asdf-vm.
The absolute sass lol
print “Fine. Fuck y’all.”
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("Fine. Fuck y’all.")?
What i really look forward to is that the FD41 LXqt spin uses LXqt 2.0
Oh nice. I used lxqt a couple years ago while I was taking a break from KDE Plasma. I liked it, light and fast and simple. I didn't know v2.0 is coming out, I'm definitely going to try it.
bye felicia
Friggin' GIMP 2 is sun setting. GIMP 3 with everything replaced in GEGL and non-distructive editing is the new standard. Who tf needs Photoshop?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A change proposal has been filed by Red Hat engineer Miro Hrončok for retiring Python 2.7 within Fedora 41 and to drop packages still depending upon Python 2.
We do not wish to simply orphan the package, as we are afraid it would not receive proper care if taken by somebody else.
If there are potential maintainers interested in maintaining Python 2 in Fedora beyond Fedora 41, they can talk to us and demonstrate their ability and will to take care of Python 2 by joining the maintenance early.
Users who need to run their application in Python 2 should do so on a platform that offers support for it.
Developers who still need to test their software on Python 2 can use containers with older Fedora releases or unsupported CentOS/RHEL versions."
The F41 change proposal still needs the approval of the Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo), but it will presumably proceed -- well, assuming GIMP 3.0 finally releases this summer so as to not block the Python 2.7 removal.

Does that mean yum too?
yum is just an alias.
No way...
LOL
I just told a guy that he shouldnt use yum anymore. While he was using dnf all the time.
Well, you're not wrong here. It is better to use dnf-related commands. yum as an alias exists to make sure that old server scripts for RHEL remains compatible.
Generally the lifecycle with this sort of thing is old_thing becomes an alias to new_thing, and eventually old_thing gets dropped as an alias down the line.
It's still decent advice to learn dnf native calls and to update scripts using yum to those native calls.
These things are like corporate things and many corporate software use old version of software
Corporate stuff is probably already running on unsupported and unpatched Linux distros if they still haven't migrated to Python 3. I doubt the new version of Fedora removing the binaries will make much of a difference.
