From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Where should I request Fedora Silverblue to include all Noto fonts in the image? (lemmy.one)

Including all compressed Noto fonts, which require approximately 104MB of disk space, would be a worthwhile addition to the 2.8GB Fedora Silverblue image. This would provide out-of-the-box support for numerous writing systems worldwide. I hope that Fedora will consider including all Noto fonts in a future release.

However, I don't know where I should send my statement to them.

Alternately, you might consider using a Universal Blue image, which is a spin of silverblue that includes a lot of nice goodies like this as well as the full version of ffmpeg, Gpu drivers and some other nice things out of the box.

Do you recommend Aurora or Bazzite or something else?

If your primary use case of Linux is gaming, choose Bazzite

For all other cases, I highly reccomend using Aurora. personally I use the aurora developer spin that includes extra developer tool goodies

Unfortunately, I don't see any extra Noto fonts in Aurora's packages.json. But, at least, I can communicate via Github issues?

The noto fonts are in the main images, which bazzite is built from: https://github.com/ublue-os/main/blob/main/packages.json

Feel free to file issues there!

Bazzite is freaking amazing. Easiest distro I've ever used.
