• Scott Williams (vwbusguy): Fedora at SoCal Linux Expo 20x

  Fedora at SoCal Linux Expo 20x

  The So Cal Linux Expo again returned to Pasadena, CA and Fedora came back as an exhibitor! I have now attended SCaLE every year since 2010, shortly after I moved to Calfornia. Since the last SCaLE was in late July, there was less time between them. As a result, I noticed a few things that contributed to this year's SCaLE being an especially special year: Many larger corporate vendors who were at SCaLE last year didn't come back this year, so it felt like there were more hobbyist and community groups to fill in the space. At the same time, many who had not been travelling due to COVID returned for the first time in years. It resulted in SCaLE feeling a bit more geniune this year with a crowd of people who largely knew what Linux and open source are about and were excited to be there.

• Grub vs. Systemd-boot: Which One Should You Use as the Bootloader

  Systemd-boot, previously called "gummiboot" is Grub's newer competitor. On compatible EFI systems, you can use systemd-boot in place of Grub to boot the system's operating system. From a high-level perspective, systemd-boot links to the bootloader already in UEFI, offering the most basic feature set for selecting an operating system.
