Neither of those, frankly. Have used Ubuntu for years, got really fed up with they constantly changing their stuff and messing my setup. Snap was the last straw for me. I tried Arch briefly, was not impressed at all. It doesn't look like a reliable system at all. All of my friends using have had multiple major issues, almost routinely. I'm not a teenager anymore so I can't waste my time fixing other people's poor choices in systems development. I've switched to Fedora on the desktop (XFCE) a couple of years ago and it's been a dream so far. The system is rock solid, it's routinely updated, it's fast and light. On my home server I'm moved from RHEL 8 (developer subscription) to RockyLinux 9 (RHEL derivative). I've discovered RHEL for work and it's been a pleasure... Rock solid, reliable system. Try fedora, you won't regret it. > Also have you faced boot issues when dual booting with windows? as in a blank screen and pc not POSTing? Haven't used Windows in ~15 years, can't say.

As a long time user of Ubuntu, Arch & Fedora I agree with all of your points. Although, in my personal experience, the only time I had trouble with Arch was when I tried messing with things I wasn't ready for. If you're dead set on a rolling release distro and all you do is run Arch out of the box with the occasional AUR package mixed in, I'd say its stable enough for a working man. Fedora has a special place in my heart though.

  I'm just on the edge about to take the leap with Fedora, 40 comes highly recommended for development, machine learning and gaming too in fact which fits my use case perfectly! Probably going to try going with it over this weekend, fingers crossed! Ideally I'd like to give at least 2-3 months of use to any OS before discarding it, so yea :)

oh yea also, snap is weirdly slow - almost pulling my hair situation often with apps via snap
