    I like Fedora for my desktop. Close enough to upstream to get the latest features, but not so bleeding edge that it’s unstable.

      It’s balanced as all things should be.

      I’ve really started to enjoy Kinonite. Fedora’s atomic version of KDE Plasma.

        Yeah, but he has stated that he really doesn’t have an opinion. He just happened to install Fedora on the family PC a long time ago and now he neither wants to deal with two separate distros, nor switch the whole household over.

          I mean that and being open enough of a distro he can change the kernel out decently often, but not so open things like throwing a new kernel in arch leads to poking at other things.

      Yeah same. Its a little annoying having to wait for certain updates, like when a new application can be built from source on arch, but i’d have to rebuild a core dependency from a scratch to get it working on fedora.

      But ive been using it for years, and even if i broke the system, ive always got it working again, which is saying something.

      I’m on Nobara, and if the installation ever dies, i will probably install pure fedora. My previous experiences were all with debian, which drove me crazy as a gamer because when playing current games you want your system to be a lot closer to the bleeding edge of the knife - debian is more like a chain glove for holding it.
