I was on Ubuntu for a year. No major issues, although I used the interim releases, which are supposed to be less solid than LTS. Then, a couple of months ago, I decided to switch to Fedora, just out of curiosity. Many people stated how Fedora is rock solid, Fedora is the new Ubuntu, etc. First some rpmfussion updates broke mesa, then the ostree update broke Flatpak, and recently there was a broken kernel 6.3.11 update that affected some AMD users. A few days ago, I updated my kernel to 6.3.12, and I got frequent freezes on boot. Other users are also reporting such issues. So now I boot with an older kernel. Which is not optimal. There is no LTS kernel on Fedora, the old kernel version doesn’t receive security updates. Was it always like that, or it’s an unusual bad phase.
I moved to Kinoite during the first round of RPM Fusion/Mesa shenanigans.
Tired of their packages lagging behind 5-7 days it was getting bad… blocking system updates unless you swap back to fedora mesa and update first.
So I’ve embraced flatpaks and podman/distrobox/toolbox containers. Solved many issues.
Then I moved to universal blue when the beta for 38 came out.
I never suffered from this issue because Ublu crew had my back :)
