Moved to Fedora for the mess around snaps and I'm not going to look back.

I've been setting up the new Fedora 38 sway spin (Wayland + sway wm out of the box) and am really impressed. I've been an Ubuntu derivative user for a long time but Fedora is great so far.

  I've switched to Fedora KDE spin, and I've been loving it. KDE recently got native window tiling support which has been nice. It's not nearly as powerful at tiling as Sway, but it fits the bill for my use.

Fedora + flatpak + everything transparently running in bubblewrap automatically has been a very nice experience. Snaps drove me off Ubuntu, and I'm glad I landed on Fedora.

  Fedora drove me off twice now, because I had bad luck both times with release updates. I haven't even configured the system too much, but there were several things broken after the release upgrate, the most notable being the file manager crashing while opening. Since Fedora bumps its version twice a year, with my experience, you don't get much time to run a smooth system.

    Fedora supports two releases at a time, that stability is in N-1 I try to give the new release about a month to bake
    - npteljes 4y ago
      Yeah, me too. I don't like to adopt early, don't have the energy, I'll just let them figure it out.

        Ouch, and still some woes? The latest (37) wasn't too monumental if memory serves. 38 is being tested now, I'm not ready!

        Yeah, this last time I went from a pristine Fedoda 35 to 36. There was some error upon login, I couldn't open the file manager, and the Night Light feature didn't work afterwards.

same here, left Ubuntu ecosystem when they ignored community feedback on forced auto-updates. It's been amazing. P.S. Bonus for people using fedora who "discover" Silverblue :)

If Redhat has one thing going for them it's that they make an incredibly cohesive system. You really get the sense that Fedora was designed to be a single usable thing top to bottom rather than some base packages and a grab bag of random applications that run wild. Really is a joy to use.
