what can be done with mongoDB ?
I see mongoDB is unsupported due to licencing issues, and thus not in official fedora repos.
For now I've found workaround, but what when it fails ? Everyone said, fedora the best for programers, latest programs, but I see, I can't find nothing other than Ubuntu which have the most of everything supported. I don't like ubuntu. |

https://developer.fedoraproject.org/...odb/about.html MongoDB is like Oracle; they have commercial and free versions. Your 'workaround' is nothing more than editing the URL of the community repository. It is *NOT* unsupported anymore than anything else on a non-commercial operating system is. You have the community version...that means no support. |
Good programmers care about security fixes. They don't care about shiny new stuff and overly frequent changes.
Without knowing what you dislike like about Ubuntu, it's not possible to give a meaningful recommendation. (Personally I put Ubuntu and Fedora in the same category; their key difference being deb vs rpm.) As for MongoDB, my best answer to "how do I do X with MongoDB?" is uninstall it and use something else. I spent several years dealing with a system that used it. It took effort to migrate away, but everyone was happier when we did - including the guy who'd originally introduced it. |

But here's the thing. Fedora official repo is using npm 16. While latest npm is 20. Then on ubuntu, pretty sure it's 10, or some from caveman age, and just breaks everything. I'm not sure, why fedora can't use even latest software, like npm 20, when they said fedora uses 'latest' software. How ? It doesn't look like it. MongoDB, I need to use as it's what company uses. 🤷*♂️ |
NPM? I thought you said you were a programmer. :p
Not sure where you're looking, but Fedora has both NPM v10 and NodeJS v20. Ubuntu v23.10 (Manic) has NPM v9 and NodeJS v18 from November 2023 - slightly behind because v20 only just came out in January, and Ubuntu gets most of its packages via Debian, where NodeJS v20 is still considered experimental - because Debian is for people that do not want to be beta testers. No doubt that'll have changed by the release of Ubuntu v24.04 LTS (Noble) in April, but if you really cant wait that long then alternatives to Fedora include Arch, Gentoo, OpenSuse Tumbleweed. (A quick check suggests all three contain packages for NodeJS v20 and NodeJS v21, and MongoDB seems to be in AUR/community repos.) |

https://docs.npmjs.com/try-the-lates...version-of-npm You seem to just want to complain, and none of what you're saying makes any sense. You got instructions on how to install mongodb...either do it or not. There are AMPLE documentation sources on installing Node.JS and NPM, and even having multiple version of them...either follow them or don't. I think you'd probably be better of running Windows and going to another forum. |
You don't think you're stuck with the versions in your distro's repositories, do you?
Docker. And NVM (Node Version Manager). |
