Out of general interest, which kinds of OSS have you come across that aren't packaged for Fedora?
I'm sure there are obviously some; anything proprietary or with patent encumbrance requires using rpmfusion or something, and that may be a step further than enabling multiverse. Some stuff just might not be packaged. Ubuntu and Debian repositories are also exceptionally broad.
But I can't, right off the top of my head, think of that much of OSS that I couldn't install either from the official repos or rpmfusion.
Maybe I've just forgotten about any loops I had to jump through, but I've been using Fedora for about six years now (after moving from Ubuntu), and I've found that the repos are much richer than I thought they were. But maybe I just haven't run into the holes that you have found.
There are some things I preferred about Ubuntu, but generally things have been working surprisingly well for me.
- dorfsmay 6y agoLast time I had checked, the issue were with software with non-free codec and smaller more niche software, but checking rpm repositories there isn't a software I'm missing yet. I'm definitely going to have another look at Fedora and OpenSuse for that matter (specifically their rolling version for small single service servers). Thanks for your comment.
