I'm going on 9 successful years of fedora. I spent 4 years switching distributions ever couple months until then. I think its probably different for everyone.

- devnonymous 10y agoI'd recommend fedora as well. It's cutting edge yet stable. The only caveat is, use it if all hardware works right off the box (Eg: you don't need proprietary drivers for your display and suspend/resume works without twiddling etc...). If that's not the case, don't bother with fedora because you'll just end up fighting the hardware with every update. fwiw, fedora has been my default OS for 10+ years now. My dev usually happens on the system (since I don't want to keep replicating my dev environment) and testing happens in containers and/or VMs. It's easier to spin up docker/lxc instances than VMs imho.
- rantanplan 10y agoI'd also like to suggest the Fedora route. I've tried most(and then some) popular distros and the last 6 years I've settle on it.
- brightball 10y agoWhat are your thoughts on Korora? It looks like Mint for Fedora.
- rantanplan 10y agoSince I use KDE as my desktop, I don't think it would do me any good. In general I've found that Fedora's spins(https://spins.fedoraproject.org/ https://spins.fedoraproject.org/) are actually pretty good. So I am not exactly sure how someone would benefit from moving into a considerably more obscure distro. It may be excellent as a distro, I really don't know. I am just thinking out loud here.
- th0br0 10y agoI've been running Fedora Rawhide on my two systems for the past two years. It's surprisingly stable.
