I've been using Silverblue and Universal Blue's images for at least a couple of years now and although there were a couple of rare instances I had to manually intervene with my system due to issues, the experience is considerably better than a traditional distro.

Simple, they've been working with goals of each release, so most of the things that clearly aren't going to make it to the next release don't get top priority compared to the things that will. It also just so happened that a ton of these year-spanding works have finally being considered done today lol

It's power-profiles-daemon. The new version came out a couple of weeks back (and reached stable bascially in the same day as F40 released) with much better performance, as it now detects if your system is running on battery and adapts both the balanced and power saver modes accordingly to save on power, it's pretty great!

Also, highly recommend checking out Universal Blue's Surface images! It's pretty much everything you need out of the box! https://universal-blue.org/images/surface/?h=surface

I know, I'm on the Flatpak side, just appreciate the intention behind snaps (although I quite frankly hate the execution).

It's a partnership for those that really want the distro branding and that want to see part of the money spent going back to fund FOSS development (as 3% of the sales goes to the GNOME Foundation). For those that don't, it's basically just a Slimbook Executive 16.

podman is almost AFAIK 1:1 compatible with docker, the team does great work on it

welcome to fedora!

the TL;DR is people were coming from HN to harass one of Asahi's devs mainly for being a trans woman
