If you desire stability and you’re already used to Ubuntu derivatives, there’s always Debian.
- kitsunesoba 3y agoThe issue with Debian is how old application packages are, and I'm not really into Flatpak. Fedora's packages are pretty close in recency to what's shipping on other platforms.
- sh34r 3y agoStability and update frequency are inversely correlated. It’s largely an unavoidable trade-off. It makes perfect sense to me that you’d feel that Fedora struck a better balance for you. Many people prefer Debian based distros. Some people use Debian on the desktop because they prefer less frequent updates (among other reasons). I’m just stating the obvious here, really.
- mcagl 3y agoDebian testing is more stable than other "so-called stable" distros, and has often newer packages than the contemporary ubuntu version.
- lmm 3y agoDebian testing puts you in a pretty bad place in terms of security updates; you're not getting new upstream releases as quickly as unstable/experimental, but they don't do dedicated backports of security fixes like with stable.
