Fedora Hummingbird

I've seen the announcement of Fedora Hummingbird, but, what is it actually, and will it be a user option or something for the enterprise world and companies in the first place?

Another question: is it rolling release, or like any other Fedora spin?

About random crashes/updating failures:

Is it related to How much you install packs from your package manager, or is it sometimes related to bugs in the software appearing on random devices?

Because after more than a year using Fedora I've never seen a system crash unless I've installed about 500+ packs & dependencies (JS, TS, C, C++, GO, Ruby, R, and some other dev related things and some random CLI tools), and they weren't deal breakers, and after switching to Silverblue 100 days ago I've never experienced any crashes or failures at all.

*Note: I'm not talking about kernel panic or drivers being missed or bad somehow.

*Note2: for dev, I didn't install anything except JS tools (because nothing else is important for me now) on an Ubuntu container and layering VS Code on the base system.

About big problems like failure in upgrading, system stability issues, etc..

I have a serious question: Do these huge problems (e.g failure in upgrading to a newer version or broken system in general) have a big amount of installed things by their package manager or does these appear in any normal installation?

I'm not talking about kernel problems which might nuke network card drivers or bluetooth drivers, because I've seen them sometimes with my USB C port on my laptop.

Because after more than a year using Fedora I've never seen a single problem with system stability unless I've installed a lot of packages, and a fresh installation was always a solution for them.

About Flatpak and Snap I think that they are the best way to install apps, and containers are the best way to develop software, because if they were broken anyhow it's a matter of minutes to install/create them and you'll continue your good time with no heart breaks or data loss.

Reviving a really old laptop

I have a very old Fujitsu Laptop from the 2000-2003 era, it definitely does use the i686 arc and I've tried to install Void OS but 6.12 kernel for i686 wasn't compatible with it, I'm just trying this for fun, and I only have 512 or 256 DDR1 ram sticks, and 1GB is almost impossible to find in my country, is there anything that might work, internet on it isn't required at all even when it does have a good WiFi card.

I've tried Poppy OS and an old Debian image but it didn't work btw.

Edit: after a painful journey with Debian 12 i386, and don't ask me why, it worked, on a USB stick and with the (Install) choice not the GUI install (this is the reason that I wasn't able to install it the last time), I can't mount a HDD or an SSD because the cable that is used to connect them is damaged, and thanks everyone.
