I went back to Fedora from Arch on desktop because Arch is tough to install. I have servers/workstations running Arch, CentoS and actually notice a lot of times the Fedora packages are often updated faster than Arch packages now. Also CentOS/Fedora give you selinux whereas Arch does not have that. (I'm not trying to rag on Arch at all, just stating my recent experience.) My servers running Arch I plan to migrate to CentOS 7 for selinux and more enterprisey updates. Also I need to use ZFS with some servers in the future and I believe there is a fairly easy way to do that with CentOS. Actually it looks like this is easy to do with Arch, too. The arch wiki is amazing.
Wayland is quite good in Fedora 23 now. The GNOME Maps app works now (it uses 3D) on my Radeon R9 290x. It didn't work in Fedora 22. I'm running Wayland now as my daily driver.
- deviantways 11y agoArch gives you a PAX/Grsecurity kernel which makes your system orders of magnitude less insecure than what CentOS gives you. You can use Grsecurity RSBAC features if you need access controls. In terms of security though, Fedora is getting better since it is defaulting to hardened packages but no hardened kernel.
