I've been using Fedora pretty solidly since 20. I use it in a VM to get all of my "actual work" done and just use my host machine for email and web browsing. It's been pretty stable for me.
The main reason I use it is that our production environments run CentOS and I want to get used to upcoming features before they're included in mainline (systemd, firewalld, dnf, python3, iproute2, etc).
Fedora has actually gotten a lot better since around Fedora 19. If you haven't given it a shot in a while you might be pleasantly surprised.
- craigching 11y agoSame for me, use it in a VM, etc. I've been doing this since 18 and have found it to be very stable. My only complaint would be Fedora 21 seemed like the filesystem was a bit slow. But I yum update pretty regularly and it seems good now. This is all anecdotal, just noticing startup times of the product I work on and other programs I use daily. EDIT: I just remembered something important about my use and might be why that you say it wasn't good before 19. I use MATE mostly because 18's Gnome3 was really bad. I still don't like Gnome3 and stick with MATE. Gnome3 is just too slow for me and some of the workflows get in my way.
- baldfat 11y agoThat was what I was digging for. I liked the idea of Fedora but I always seemed to get in trouble with stability. I just might give it a try again on a secondary machine.
