Fedora is now my distro of choice for most of purposes. It is also well supported, easily upgraded between releases, and do not have this sort of pushing things down the throat as of yet.
- petepete 4y agoFedora nails the basics. Nice installer, unadulterated GNOME, well-stocked official repos and easy to add third party ones. That's all I want these days. The only negative thing I have to say about my day to day Linux use is caused by Nvidia's shitty driver and power management issues. My next build will be AMD (or maybe Intel) graphics.
- atemerev 4y agoNvidia works fine for me (even with Wayland) since Fedora 36 (the latest). With X, it worked fine since ages. I am a researcher and simulations developer, so I can't live without CUDA.
- petepete 4y agoFor the most part it works for me, but there are some definite rough edges. For example, I had to disable suspend because sometimes it doesn't wake properly. I need to reboot to make it work again. The fact I needed to enable a bunch of services (nvidia-suspend.service and friends) to even get it to sleep was enough of a pain. I'm running a 1660 GTX so it's not like I have a niche card with special functionality or anything, it's very run-of-the-mill. Compared to my laptop (ThinkPad), where everything just worked, it's a chore. I set up a (Beelink) computer for my parents with AMD graphics and it's been flawless for the past year, I've not even had to do any tech support in that time.
- christophilus 4y agoYeah. Fedora is my favorite. I like Debian and Arch, and am philosophically more aligned with community-driven projects like those. But Fedora hits the sweet spot, so I’m using it until IBM royally screws it up.
