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!

    Fedora Workstation here as well. Stopped my distrohopping for good. Even when I install the betas it seems very stable.

    Tested the KDE spin on a spare laptop too and it seemed fine as well.

    It’s unfortunate that a lot of people are reluctant to try Fedora because the name sounds like a tips fedora meme

      I happily use Fedora for workstation purposes but hate to admit I use it, so it’s an accurate critique. It’s a great operating system though, naming aside.

      Maybe Nobara is a good alternative for people who would care about that? Its pretty close to stock fedora AFAIK (I’m still a novice tho)

        Pretty close yes, but honestly anyone who would write the distro off for that reason alone isn’t serious enough about computing for it to matter which OS they pick. Only use Nobara if your main intention is gaming. Its not worth picking a niche distro unless you have a very good reason or thats part of the fun for you.
