After years on Ubuntu, then Arch I also just recently discovered Fedora as a well polished alternative.
I do love the Arch community. But I feel less motivation to tinker nowdays and Fedora was a pretty nice works out of the box experience so far.
- Jnr 2y agoI set up Fedora for family but I still use Arch myself, because there is no good alternative to AUR on Fedora and there are more packages that I need for software development. Sometimes Arch saves so much time, that even the infrequent necessary manual maintenance after updates makes it worth it. And even when trying to run stuff on distros other than Arch, I frequently look up instruction on Arch Wiki and in AUR PKGBUILDs.
- adhamsalama 2y agoI'm using Nix package manager on Fedora and it's OK.
- dingi 2y agoAs I founnd out myself, there is almost no tinkering involved once you get the initial Arch setup done. Just update once a week. Fedora repos have considerably fewer packages than Arch or Debian. For some reason Redhat land has always been off putting for me. SELinux, dropping docker in favor of podman, CentOS debacle are just a few things that make me look elsewhere. I'm glad you found your sweetspot though. Just a friendly banter from a fellow Linux user.
