    The rolling release thing isn’t for me, but I get why that model might appeal. Brave, though? Why?

    Damn, not sure I’m a fan of any of this. I left Arch because I didn’t want to be on Rolling release any more, and really liked what Nobara was offering for the out of the box experience.

    Brave is super sketchy, and not sure about putting in yet another thing to handle updates (replacing plasma-discover and gnome-software).

    I’m wondering if its worth forking it to remove some of these changes.

    First I hear about them, and since Brave is the default browser I know I don’t want to know more. Smooth!

    At least they disable the monetization features of Brave but making stupid Google Meet such a hard requirement to compromise of all ethics? WTF?

    Does the rolling release model mean Nobara is based on Fedora Rawhide now?

    Edit: I found the answer from the developer on Reddit.

    the VERSION updates are rolling. (N41->N42->N43+)

    nothing is changing in the update process. we still do a monthly snapshot of fedora and provide that to users. we are -not- using rawhide.

    the “rolling” simply means when its time to go 42->43 you’ll receive those updates as standard package updates without needing to do any specific commands/changes.

    I’ll definitely uninstall brave but it makes sense why they chose it. People crying over it are being dumb. Hopefully when Firefox fixes its crashing issue it can go back to the default.
