Long time reader (subscribed in 2015 after having read it quietly for a time). Not very frequent poster. I have been doing some reading at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org It is as if it is a totally different list compared to this list. I had not even heard of Silverblue until reading there. Seems like a good percentage of the contributors are using it. There are some questions that would fit right in here but mostly not. So I am either missing something or the user base of that list is not the same as here. Maybe we are all the old school and they are all new? But even if it were 100% the same I would vote with the folk that like the mailing list much better. I will not promise to never read that forum if this one goes away but I know I will check it much less than I have been checking this one. -- Doug H. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
