I’ve primarily used Arch for my workstations since around 2007, and sometimes Debian Sid. I recently switched all of my workstations to Fedora Silverblue however, and I’ve been very happy with this type of workflow; flatpaks for user apps, containers for my dev environments, and automated image-based core OS updates. I am convinced this is the future of Linux computing for most users.

The use of ‘comm’ and ‘comms’ as short form for communities makes the most sense to me. Lemmy’s url path already uses /c/ as the designation as well.

Like ‘sub’ and ‘subs’, they are one syllable, and are easy to say and spell.
