Annoying, I have used Fedora for many years now and I hadn't planned to stop that. Even with the slim chance that they don't go through with this, it tells that they have lost their bearings. Oh well it will be nostalgic doing a bit of distro hopping again.
- doodlesdev 3y agoWhere are you planning to distro hop to? I find Fedora has a special balance between bleeding edge and stable that no other distribution I tried achieves.
- tokai 3y agoThats a really good question. Guess I'll check out opensuse tumbleweed.
- bravetraveler 3y agoThat's what I was going to suggest; the SUSE people do good work. If Fedora becomes something I want to leave... that's where I'm going. I don't really need or want this pressure on Fedora -- 'the premiere desktop... blah, barf'. This is how we got Canonical and their brazen licensing I'm happy enough with it basically being RHEL-next. Package the misc things (GNOME, KDE, Sway, etc) with the appropriate SELinux policies and bam, a decent desktop OS.
- justinclift 3y agoOne minor quality-of-life suggestion that I found with SUSE, is after you install things make a soft link from their "zypper" package manager utility to "zyp". That way, you can just type "zyp ..." for stuff which is pretty easy, whereas "zypper" I always found to be more of a pain (for typing). "zypper" seems to attract typos, for me anyway. ;) You could do the same thing with an alias too I guess... :)
- red-iron-pine 3y agoSame boat. Been looking at Arch, or back to the Greater Debian Hegemony, probably Pop_OS. I have a System76 laptop I use mostly for travel / edge cases and Pop_OS is decent enough that I'd consider it on the desktop.
