Advice choosing a Linux distro

Published 2026-08-30

This is a post written for the kind of person who watches programming influencers, or maybe for the kind of person who watches LTT. However, I’m comparing distros for general desktop use, not server nor gaming specific.

So what’s the best distro? Fedora. Why?

It’s well configured by default, in large part because Fedora has close relations with many of the big Linux Desktop projects, like GNOME and systemd.
Packages are mostly vanilla, which usually means they have fewer bugs.
Even if it’s not the most popular, it’s popular enough, so you can find things like forum posts that solve your issues, or custom repos for proprietary software like Sublime Text.

It’s not without problems

Lo que no importa con Daniel Matamala

Published 2026-08-22

Lo Que Importa es un podcast, en el que Daniel Matamala entrevista a expertos sobre temas relevantes.

Cuáles temas relevantes? El podcast ha tenido, entre otros:

Dos capítulos sobre natalidad
Tres capítulos sobre trump¹
Como cinco capítulos sobre corrupción

Cuantos capítulos sobre el costo de las viviendas? Cero

Aquello en lo que la mayoría de la gente gasta el 30% de su plata o más, parece que no es algo que Importa.

Evidently Firefox

Published 2026-06-24

Every once in a while, there’s a controversy about something Mozilla does. Integrating AI, or changing their terms of use, or creating Privacy Preserving Attribution, or installing a weird Mr. Robot themed extension.

I don’t usually agree with Mozilla’s decisions, but I understand where they’re coming from: they need to diversify their funding somehow. And their incentives are far less bad than the ones at Google or Apple.

Of course I use Firefox. It wouldn’t make sense to use anything else.

Hugo infrequent blogger experience

Just in case I migrate off of Hugo, then forget why I did that.

Sifu

Published 2026-01-18

Que maravilla. No todos los días encuentra uno un juego que vaya tan bien con sus gustos. Sifu es uno de esos juegos para mí.

El sistema de combate es suficientemente complejo como para que uno deba estar atento al jugar, y se sienta orgulloso de sus victorias. Un motivo por el que no me gustan los RPGs es porque en lugar de ser el jugador quien mejora, es el personaje quien mejora. No es el caso en este juego, lo cual es bastante fácil de comprobar: después de haber avanzado harto, uno juega el primer nivel de nuevo y resulta impresionantemente fácil. Cómo no sentir satisfacción con uno mismo?
