I really hate to complain when someone does good work like this, but…. I feel like Fedora has kind of lost its way a bit. I know these technologies are becoming more popular. But, Java is still the most popular development language, for good reasons. I suspect that there is a very large percentage of Java developers that use Fedora. Java is a big part of Red Hat’s business. Fedora 31 shipped when it was impossible to install Eclipse and it is still broken. I would like to see Fedora be more supportive not just of trends and fads but of technologies people are actually using. And you might complain that I should step up and do it myself, but I have to say that I’ve tried to become part of the Fedora development community several times but never was able to get anywhere. Why haven’t I switched to Ubuntu? I still think Fedora is the best and the problems can be fixed, like not being able to run Gnome because it crashes every 15 minutes. OK, I’m done ranting. I actually think you’re doing good work here but please consider my points.

I think the way to install IDEs in both Fedora and Debian is Flatpaks.
Flathub has Eclipse, IntelliJ and Netbeans.

Powinien być jakiś sposób ‘zamawiania’ nowych art.
np. interesuje się rust-em zatem prosze o art. jak napisac serwer www, albo GTK+ w ruście.
Albo chciałbym podszkolić się z robienia backupu, przesyłania plików rsync czy sposobów na przechowywanie logów.
