Isn't that arch?

Even if you qualify "First" with "mainstream", I think there might be more Steam Decks (running an arch variant) than Fedora installs :)

- doubled112 3y agoArch is not always the most up to date. Fedora and openSUSE occasionally beat it to an update. I've seen Fedora packages from git commits where Arch sticks with latest stable as well. glibc and GNOME come to mind as frequent "not first" packages. As a bigger thing, I think Fedora implemented systemd before Arch.
- rozenglass 3y agoArch focuses on fast packageing of the latest versions of existing applications, but leaves all but the most fundamental architectural decisions to the user. Fedora focuses on implemenring new experimental systems at the architectural level, integrating them with the distro, to make them, hopefully, easy to use out of the box.
- ranger207 3y agoArch may have packages first but generally Fedora will have its packages integrated first; ie, if package A and package B release new versions to work with each other, then Arch may have the new versions first, but when Fedora releases the new versions then they'll be configured to work together, while Arch's packages may take a little longer for them to be configured appropriately
