I also wanted Hyprland and after I went to Ubuntu 24 on that box I saw Hyprland maintainers recommend against using it on Debian distros. It came down to Arch or Nix after that. Maybe a base install o...

I'm not really a Fedora zealot... Ubuntu is probably a better base for most things. I pretty much use it because they tend to be at the head of the line of new desktop features. First it was BTRFS support, and lately it's been things like TPM-based filesystem encryption with measured boot.

for what it's worth, I am in complete agreement with @Dave on the podcast <-> feed identity structure. We've been talking about it for years, and we even talked about it the last time I was on the show.

He's merely modeling reality, and that's a data structure problem. Noticing friction because of a bad data structure is just how we got here.

We've been dancing around the issue in the namespace ever since we added the podcast:guid tag.
