Dom0 OS Selection

Is this the canonical thread for the “other distribution for dom0” conversation? I’m thinking no?

I noticed the Github issue was set to “this is not the best place to discuss this”, but it’s not immediately clear to me where to go to follow or participate in that discussion

The issue links to this Discourse group URL, but that fails to load for me

Though I don’t have much currently, I would be happy to contribute whatever time I do have to development or testing. I’m capable of (at least) building, developing glue and testing

… from the Github issue though, it seems to me there’s still considerable work and discussion required just to determine what distribution would be suitable, and why

My interest is backed by a pretty weak case - would be very happy to be rid of Fedora (or any RHEL-based distributions) simply because I don’t like using them, as a function of not knowing their tools and conventions well in the way that I know those used by Debian. Not reason enough to make a serious argument for all Qubes developers and users, I admit :slight_smile:

Is the best place for this discussion in the real-time chat app used by Qubes devs? (Forgetting the name but I have a Qube set up for it that I just haven’t yet actually used)

I’ve considered it’s very possible this isn’t really “a thing” anymore, due to priorities and a possible lack of substantial “pain” from Fedora
