Fedora just works, it made me stop Distro hopping. I don’t want to use something else, but when the day comes on that Red Hat starts making questionable choices, I’ll go back to Debian.
but when the day comes on that Red Hat starts making questionable choices,
Uh that day came and went when they changed CentOS from a downstream source rebuild of RHEL to an upstream dev branch that stabilizes into RHEL. They’ve now gone off the rails with closing public access to the sources and having RHEL T&C require customers to either relinquish they’re GPL right to redistribute the sources or have their support contract terminated.
I’ve been a user for years and I would agree with that. The only issue I’ve seen people have recently are with Red Hat and their recent source code policy change
I like Fedora for the default gnome experience, which I immedieatly start theming. But the package manager is very slow imo even while using the fastest mirror(s). And some if not most people hate the installer cuz of it’s confusing layout. They are apparently working on these issues. Imo best distro for laptops, especially if you install auto-cpufreq. And I personally always get pretty excited for the major updates.
AFAIK, Fedora is considered stable and is a great choice.

Yeah, without Fedora for me it’s either Debian or Arch. Nothing inbetween. And I do like the inbetween, that is what Fedora is.
