I would prefer something based on Debian, like Ubuntu or PopOS, but I’m open for other suggestions as well, as I’m looking for a distro to daily-drive on my new Framework laptop.

    Fedora is pretty cutting edge (updating package versions every 6 months), while still being rock solid. The release upgrade is also the most reliable one I’ve had to deal with - I successfully upgraded an ancient install by 10 versions once.

      Gotcha. For those that are happy with the upgrade process and stability of what they are on though, is there anything that makes it more enticing?

      I may end up giving it a go just to round out my experience with the various flavors and get some real experience with RPM.

        Honestly, Linux is Linux. Once you’re comfortable enough, that’s really all that differentiates distros between each other. (Minus weird shit like glibc vs musl, nixOS, etc) It’s just been the closest experience I’ve had to “it just works” when it comes to Linux desktop.

        I should also shout out that Fedora tends to embrace existing standards rather than make their own (cough Cannonical cough Snap). I’m also a big fan of some Fedora projects, particularly Fedora Silverblue
