    I installed fedora to replace windows on the 31/12/2023. I wasn’t a complete Linux noob by any measure but haven’t run it as a main OS before. Thank you proton for getting me over the edge.

    The whole repo situation on fedora is honestly pretty meh, things are out of date or broken too often. Or they just don’t exist. I have put arch on a number of machines since and find it significantly better. My main box will move away from fedora next time I’m enthused to mess with it and this is the primary reason.

      Yikes… One would expect stability and reliability from main distros, it’s funny to me that Linux Mint is the thing you recommend your family to try because Fedora and Ubuntu, formerly popular distros, went to shit.

        Fedora was always a bleeding-edge distro and never all that stable or reliable.

        The problem is RedHat/IBM have been fucking with everything, and Fedora has suffered along with everything else and it’s just kinda decayed a bit over the past few years.

        …Ubuntu went to shit at least a decade ago, if not longer.
