Fedora Will Get An IoT Edition

[macemoneta]

If Fedora is shipping unstable libraries, then why would i use it in my IOT stuff?

They are not. Pulseaudio is now 14 years old and quite stable. I haven't even thought about it in many years; it just works. If you're having a problem, recognize that you're in the minority, and probably using some very unusual hardware or your software is screwed up.

this is normal with PA, I simply use ALSA directly ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utviLZ5c9SE

I've never had these problems with pulse audio on other distros.

No it's not. It's at least 3 years that it's not normal for PA to run like crap.

I am running Fedora at the moment.
I'm having a lot of issues with pulse audio. Many programs output garbled noises.

All that is to say, I'm not sure how Fedora will fit in this environment. They can't directly interoperate with proprietary devices, and they can't interoperate with many LAN of Things devices. Not much info at the Wiki. Maybe MQTT will be the basis? But that still excludes the bulk of existing devices.

LoRa too

Why do you think Atomic is not good and do you have any concrete examples of it being forced on people ?

i wouldnt say Forced just yet, but eventually they will;, as Atomic + Modules seem to be the way Fedora is going

Most IoT devices use proprietary cloud-based implementations and apps. Not exactly inline with the ideals of Fedora. I've been replacing firmware with open source code (like Tasmota), as well as my own software on flashable / configurable devices. In this way, none of the devices on my network phone home or use Internet connectivity. Remote operation is via SSH / VPN access only (LAN of Things).
