Dangerous opinion, I’ve recently moved to Fedora after Ubuntu and after customising it on the GNOME desktop, it’s literally Ubuntu (But better) in every way except no snaps.

Personally as someone who got the ground running using Ubuntu as my 1st Linux distro, fedora is a comfortable transfer and I really like their spins.

Sure DNF can be slow but you can fix that and sure redhat can be a little… difficult with their decisions.

What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!

    Yeah… I’m actually thinking of switching to Debian. Fedora’s very nice, but the licensing idiosyncrasies and linkages to RedHat kinda annoy me.

    Also: I admit I’m lazy, and the Debian-flavored community is somewhat more pervasive and a tad easier to look things up for, simply because Ububtu is Debian flavored, and Ubuntu is one of the more prevalent distros (even if it is kinda “easy mode”).

      I moved from Debian mainly because I kept breaking apt somehow. But I was saw people recommending it for desktop use, so maybe it got improved.

      Edit: typo

        Yeah this’d mainly be for my personal dev laptop. I’ve got a spare machine I might throw it on to test drive for a bit before I commit to migrating my system again, since I just did that for F40 (upgraded from Ubuntu LTS - again, lazy, but I did get fed up with snaps which is what led me to switch to fedora in the first place)
