tbf fedora is a nice distro if you want to be near the bleeding edge but not bleeding and don't mind updating often (every 6 months or so). I prefer arch but not everyone wants to be bleeding all that much.
- seabrookmx 4y agoYeah I like it when grub works ;) Kidding aside, I recently tried Fedora for the first time in years and it's been great. I wanted a newer kernel for the 12th gen chip in my Framework laptop, and loading a custom kernel (at least in the Debian-based distros I'm familiar with) is a total pain when you have LUKS encryption enabled. Gnome+Wayland has come a long way as well and things seem quite polished.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoFedora was pretty bad in my experience. Every major upgrade was a mess and left things in some sort of partial state. Had to reinstall everything to get a smooth experience again. Yum corrupted its own package database once. Do they even use it anymore? Arch Linux has been perfectly stable for years on my laptop.
- Xylakant 4y agoFedora has been using dnf for at least a few years. I used Fedora as a primary laptop OS before I stopped using Linux for $reasons at around Fedora 32. I can’t remember any particular issues updating as long as you kept within the supported update window (2 versions back IIRC). If I were to switch back to linux again, I’d pick it up again.
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoI've in-place upgraded Fedora about 5 times (usually doing more than one version at a go) on my main PC and never had to reinstall more than a package or two. There may have been minor breakage a few times, but I've never had a major issue.
