Fedora deserves a mention as a solid desktop alternative to Ubuntu. It ships very up-to-date packages but doesn't require as much tweaking as, say, Arch. The default 'spin' is GNOME but they provide excellent support for Plasma, Cinnamon, etc.
I also think dnf is a more powerful and easier package manager than apt.
- nateb2022 4y agoThis. Fedora is rapidly turning into what Ubuntu should have been, and is retaking its spot that Ubuntu took shortly after it came around. Ubuntu is turning into a legacy desktop, centered around tailoring Gnome to a Unity-esque desktop every release rather than embracing progress. When Ubuntu 22.04 was released, I switched to Fedora for good. They get a GNOME distro right.

- RealStickman_ 4y agoIt also does slightly more stuff than apt (maybe unnecessarily)
- petepete 4y agodnf is annoyingly slow but it's greatly improved via DNF Automatic. I just let it keep itself in sync and apply security updates automatically. https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/automatic.html https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/automatic.html
