    It’s complicated and I have a few reasons.

    1. Last time I used it, Fedora’s updates were too unstable. I twice got updates breaking my system setup. For example, with openSUSE it happened only once (recent broken Mesa update). Also openSUSE updates surprisingly feel more stable than Fedora ones.
    2. I don’t like Red Hat. Even though I understand that open-source projects are complex and I should separate decelopers from their software, that doesn’t change my opinion on Red Hat.
    3. This problem stems from the previous ones. Using Fedora I feel like a beta-tester for future Red Hat projects and especially RHEL.

    Keep in mind, that I last used Fedora on versions 37–38 and things might have changed since.


  • From OpenSUSE there’s also leap micro. Never used it, but maybe worth looking at.

    I heard of it, but it seems more server/development focused, rather than desktop.

    For instance, I could never get used to dnf, but it’s largely irrelevant on an atomic distro anyways.

    100% agree, dnf is a bummer. Maybe I’ll give Kinoite a shot, as it has many differences with “vanilla” Fedora.
