The packaging system is what originally brought me to debian and ubuntu; RPM caught up a while back, but apt was better for decades. Stability and easy access to good tooling is what I like about Ubuntu; how is Fedora better?
- bravetraveler 5y agoFedora is a maintainers dream, in my (limited) opinion. Things like mock and fedpkg make modifying upstream/bundling your own stuff up super easy. Then add in COPR (like PPAs) and it's a feedback-loop friendly setup
- nerdponx 5y agoIt's also a very "tidy" system to administer for the most part, although sometimes I get tripped up on the "sysconfig" stuff.
