(jflory7, 14:57:11) * A: Thinking about other kinds of challenges or difficulties limited to hardware, particularly for those using older hardware, battery life, and other optimizations; program variety helps so having the tools available to be alternatives to popular proprietary tools is helpful. For me, Fedora is mostly perfect as it is. (jflory7, 14:58:33) Meeting ended at 14:58:43 UTC.
