#78 Run Distrobox on Fedora Linux
Closed: scheduled by theevilskeleton. Opened by rlengland.

Closed: scheduled
Reopen Issue

Distrobox is an ongoing project. It looks like Toolbx with more compatibility.

Note GLB's comment in the proposal below: "If we run this we should probably recommend that the host system be Fedora Linux (even if it is stated in a way that is obviously a bit tougue-in-cheek :yum:).

BTW The article title is up for modification depending on how the article is slanted.

Can I edit and make a featured image for this one? @glb @rlengland

@theevilskeleton Yes, definitely. Just put yourself down as the "image-editor" in the metadata section of this card so that we know you are working on it.

Thanks!

Metadata Update from @glb:
- Custom field publish adjusted to 2021-12-27

If you are editing as well, don't forget to add yourself as the editor as well.
If you have question on the code block conversion to preformatted, let us know.

Metadata Update from @rlengland:
- Custom field publish reset (from 2021-12-27)

Can we change the title to "Using Distrobox on Fedora Linux"? I'd like to suggest (even if only subtly) that we recommend Fedora Linux be used as the host OS.

Edit: Or perhaps better yet, "Run Distrobox on Fedora Linux".

I like "Run Distrobox on Fedora Linux".

Sorry forgot this, done now :thumbsup:

@89luca89 Thank you.

@theevilskeleton: It looks like this was supposed to go out today but it does not appear to be ready. It still needs a cover image. Will you be able to finish this by Wednesday?

Thanks.
theevilskeleton commented

Yes. Sorry for that.

@89luca89 is Distrobox's logo under the GPLv3 (just like the rest), or is it under another license? I'd like to know because I want to use the logo for the featured image.

@theevilskeleton: As a general rule (though not a "hard" rule) we like to avoid using the logos because we don't want to imply any sort of endorsement when we haven't necessarily received such approval. Since Luca is the author of this software, you certainly can, in this case, use his logo with his approval. But as a more standard practice, we prefer not to use the product logos.

Thanks.

@theevilskeleton no problems on my part on using it :+1:

Alright, I'm done with the featured image. What do you guys think?

Looks great to me! Good job.

@theevilskeleton: This article does not appear to be scheduled yet and (as mentioned in an earlier comment) it is supposed to go out in a few hours. Is there a reason this hasn't been scheduled to run?
