      Switched frrom Debian to Fedora. 2 reasons: Gnome is really cool and awesome to use these days, and Ghost Recon Wildlands in Lutris runs a lot better in Fedora vs. Debian (sorry Debian). Debian is very stable and isn't going anywhere, and it's perfect for Windows using switching to Linux, but Fedora caught my eye a few months ago and i've been tinkering with it here and there. Made the switch just this past weekend (March 15/16 2024). I don't think i'll be using anything else anytime soon.

    Fedora is the sweet spot of; stable with decently up to date packages, sensible defaults and minimal fuss. The only major criticism I have is the installer is poor in comparison to other installers (eg Ubuntu). It would also be nice if they included a theme/accent color switcher like Ubuntu does. It is a solid distro and I change very little when installing it.

      Well ubuntu adds those accents manually to the gnome desktop in appearance while fedora uses vanilla gnome which doesnt have it.

    Been using fedora full time for most of the year straight. Absolutely enjoy it big time and don't see myself ever changing it unless something major happened to make me do so. it's simple to use and it's more up to date than debian based distros. Got Gnome and kde on wayland working perfectly fine on my pc. Even when I went to beta 39 everything was just as smooth as 38. No reason to distro hop at all again since everything i need is right here and whatever else can be added. I never once had any set of updates take 5 minutes though. I update all the time though so I am not sure why that would happen to anyone. I usually take a guess that someone is on an outdated 20 year old laptop as with usual with linux people but if not then no idea since I update in moments.

      And I am thankful for that. But I can't recommend Fedora for many people. It's been less stable than my arch setup for me, and their war on any and all proprietary parts (Nvidia drivers, docker,... ) and their early/only adoption of some tools (SELinux, pipewire when it wasn't ready yet,... ) makes it actually take more time to actually use than something like EndavourOS.

    After almost a decade jumping around distros and coming back to windows for the "stability" and "gaming performance" i finally settle with Linux Mint 21.3 edge as my only desktop OS, Flatpak out of the box was a huge deal, no more libraries version incompatibility, i don't mind the extra space you need for flatpak packages, but my main surprise was lan and wifi working out of the box and the impressive gaming performance i can get out of my uhd 770 intel iGPU in dx11 games using a lutris-wine-proton configuration (new build, still don't have a GPU lol), dx12 is a complete disaster but im sure it is because my iGPU support for dx12 is kind of flimsy. With this video you just gave me confirmation of something i was suspecting; a lot of linux distros are moving to a more user friendly first experience without lossing what makes linux so great: "the freedom to make the OS yours", i can see myself using Fedora in the future to get new features and updates faster.

      Why? Do want exact binaries you make from your home computer to work on your work machines as is? As a desktop OS, you are leaving a lot on the table with a RHEL or a RHEL clone distro. If that's what you do, I would consider using RHEL on a VM and just use Fedora as your daily driver. If not, Fedora is what RHEL will become mostly, eventually, but it uses much newer versions of the same technology. Just saying think about it. Be sure to backup your home folder though.

      ​@@linuxnext That's proton usage...not who is using what. To say everyone who use linux desktop uses proton is dubious and not something they are claiming. I for instance have a couple of old work machines that would be pointless to game on, and I don't think I'm alone in that. What about the millions of Raspberry Pi and single board computers out there? I don't think many people, aside from Jeff Geerling, are running proton on those. Never mind the fact as they mention, that doesn't include server context which blows linux desktop out of the water. The king of that is Ubuntu with Debian close by. They are just saying of the people who game on linux, arch is the most popular. Which to me, thinking of the needs of a person who games on linux, that makes total sense, even if you don't count SteamOS. But to say the majority of users use arch is false. Also you forget majority means it is more popular then all the other distros added together which I don't think you mean.

      Pop os, linux mint, nobara and have a grand all time just like on windows.
      sure your gonna have to learn a couple things like what proton to use or apps but thats the fun part of using a new operating system

      Gnome are the apple of linux desktops space, they take a long time to move forward but when they do things are rather stable, also gtk apps look fine under kde for me as kde tries to blend it with their breeze theme and the gtk apps dont have issues under plasma so not a problem for me, also extensions break every 6 months because of new feature release for gnome while on kde everything is there for me/dont need extensions

    Fedora is the only Linux that has the essential (for me with my extremely low eyesight and low mobility) external display brightness tray icon. Unfortunately, that only controls brightness, not contrast, which constantly resets back up to 33% or so.
    Fedora supports Plasma 6.1.1, which is great. However, it refuses to scale non-KDE programs properly. I also have to install Snaps capability and use both for some programs.
    I think it's very sad that Linux desktop has split into 2 versions: Snaps/Flatpaks, rather than just applying some freaking discipline around dependencies. Windows solved this so long ago, and it kills me that the Linux community has to resort to technologies designed for mobile apps, then does to in a way that splits the community into two for no good reason.
    The vast majority of distro use Snaps, sure, since they're much more lightweight and geared toward app installation (like Microsoft's much superior APPX packages). But still, foolish holdouts like Fedora keep Flatpack alive.

      @@linuxnext Containers are very heavyweight and slow by comparison. They result in lots of memory use since the OS can't reuse shared libraries (it's like every app was statically linked). The security model is also too restrictive so many apps which need to access system libraries can't do so without weird hacks that break easily. Flatpak came first, and therefore got some traction, but containers were kind of the 'fad' at the time, and unfortunately got used when they were a very poor fit, and survive now mainly due to momentum. This is just scratching the surface.
      Snaps and Windows APPX packages solve these issues with a custom implementation that does everything via OS features. Isolation is just as complete, but it's just way easier to implement what you need.

      I suspect (but am not sure, might be completely wrong) that I somehow messed up some dependency.
      The downside of Nobara is that in order to make the custom theme etc the Nobara dev replaced some dependencies from the Fedora repo - that seems like trouble waiting to happen.

    I dont know if I dont know how to use it but each time I use fedora software manager app I get problems, like not being able to share screen on zoom or stuff like that.

      sharing your screen doesnt have anything to do with the software manager, zoom simply doesnt support linux fully for screen sharing properly, there are workarounds like xwaylandvideobridge but besides that your out of luck
