Talk to your Fedora system with the linux-mcp-server! - Fedora Magazine
fedoramagazine.org
Generative AI systems are changing the way people interact with computers. MCP (model context protocol) is a way that enables LLMs to run commands and use tools to enable live, conversational interaction with systems. Using the new linux-mcp-server, let’s walk through how you can talk with your Fedora system for understanding your system and getting […]

Users points out in comments how the LLM recommends APT on Fedora which is clearly wrong. I can’t tell if OP is responding with LLM as well–it would be really embarrassing if so.

PS: Debian is really cool btw :)

    That’s exactly why I migrated from Fedora to Arch, I want a distro with little to none corporation influence.

    To me, the real Linux experience is Arch.

    I didn’t want to wait for some bad decision to be made. Time is showing I took the right decision.

      Now I’m thinking of doing the same because the entire reason I chose fedora was to take advantage of their institutional support

      But if those institutions are going to sell the floor right under me to ai then there’s no point 🫩

        Check out Debian as well! (or lmde) I have recently switched from Arch to Debian (with sway) to have some more stability. Love it so far, I don’t bother about configs or having by dependencies anymore and can just focus on actually doing some work. Arch has a really active community though with a big repository (which quality varies a lot) and nice documentation.

          I might try Debian testing branch first because, frankly, I do not want to deal with arch linux…I just want to use my computer

            Check out PikaOS, it’s pretty much pure Debian, but for gaming, makes updating drivers and managing games easy

      IMO there are two main Linux camps, and most users fall somewhere in-between. Rolling OS lovers who want to tinker (eg Arch). People who want stability over everything (eg Debian).

      The only truly wrong answer is paying for RHEL.

      Same. I was on Fedora Atomic but the stench hardened so I jumped over to nixOS a few weeks back. Glad I did.

        Check out Garuda. It’s a really stable, well maintained version of Arch. I’ve been running the same install of it for over 9 months with only one screw up that garuda’s own health tool fixed for me.

        It’s been a great way for me to learn Linux and Arch, and it rivals Bazzite in my own gaming benchmarks.
