I've created and managed five distributions for two companies. I've found RPM to have slightly easier tooling across the whole stack, from developers building individual RPMs/specs up through building and managing 1000s of RPMs across multiple releases. The Fedora build model makes a great reference and source of tools for spinning your own distributions.
- ndsipa_pomu 8mo agoMy experience over the years with a few Linux distributions is that rpm based distros always seem to give me more problems with dependencies and always seems harder to fix. These days I much prefer deb based distributions, mainly Ubuntu as I like their trade-off between stability and newer versions though I'm not a fan of snap packages.
