why do you not use fedora as a daily driver?

>FEDora
ya no

>>106209611
>openSUSe
nope

because at this point it easier to manually install arch according to my needs than to retroactively try to bend fedora to my will, unironically skyrocketing the chance to nerf the system (I am not smart)

>>106209544 (OP)
I couldn't connect to my mobile hotspot.

because I use le arch

What's the deal with gstreamer-plugins not installing properly from rpmfusion a few months ago, did that ever get fixed?

I just installed MX Linux to escape Microsoft and the horrid future of Windows 11.

>>106209611
fpbp, based, redpilled
marking this thread as [SOLVED]

I still need Windows for far too much shit in my life. VR gaymz, some Visual Studio shit, etc.
Fedora is good, I've used it on my laptop for a while and it's been good enough. If I wanted to fully commit to Linux, it would be my first option.

>>106209544 (OP)
Arch is gooder

what's the point? if you're at the mercy of US company anyway, just use windows

I do.

why use the beta testing distro, when you can use the finished product?

>>106209544 (OP)
Because Ubuntu 25.04 works fine on my machine. I found Fedora doesn't recognise my hardware as well as Ubuntu.
>>106209790
AFAIK it was an issue of the main Fedora repo including the plugin (or a newer version) and then RPM Fusion being delayed in removing the other version - causing the conflict. It's been fixed then.

>>106210073
must be fun to reduce your software choices into a sociopolitical game

I'm very happy with Mint. Fedora doesn't sound as retard-proof and I am a retard.

>>106209544 (OP)

Because it's a glowie honeypot.

>>106209544 (OP)
i almost started using it the other day, but turns out that diplay port is broken or something and stuck at 60hz. it also had issues with my kvm.
replaced fedora with arch and everything worked again.

>>106210458
That's exactly what you are doing by going linux desktop

>>106209611
woke distro

>>106209544 (OP)
arch exists. basically fedora without the corpo scum and a easier to understand package manager and the AUR

>>106209544 (OP)
Fedora is a rolling release so the software packages are unstable, every update felt like rolling dice on something breaking or crashing or otherwise changing in an unwanted way the next week.
For my daily driver I prefer a more stable OS like Debian, where packages may be older but it'll just keep working. I can update Debian every day to get security fixes without worrying about instability.

Also Fedora's package manager is really slow. DNF is not as nice to use as APT and eventually I just got tired of waiting for DNF to refresh, look up packages and install them.

And Debian has better support available, numerous existing answered forum questions and tips, because of the popularity of Ubuntu, so I just trust it more by default. I'd probably run Ubuntu but Debian is just more stable.

>>106212443
They're all woke

>>106212622
artix isnt woke

I do, is very stable, but is not for everyone.

This, the OpenSUSE's release model is what made me choose it over Fedora. These days though I would probably choose one of the Fedora Atomic images over it as it has matured quite well.

>>106212348
No, I just use software that does what I want it to do. Nice attempt at projection, however.

>>106212443
suse has been accused of being antisemitic etc

Because my penis is still longer than my balls sag

>>106214431
OpenSUSE has Aeon and Kalpa. Not as mature as Fedora's atomic distros but getting there.

>>106209544 (OP)
I use Rocky Linux.

i do
only distro that just works

>>106215761
Update it to 6.4.4

>>106215761
Gnome or KDE and why? I really want to know

>>106215596
I'm not very hopeful for those as the lead dev is a hardcore Gnomie

>>106215761
does your DnB work with third party apps, such as your browser? had to mute "Notification Sounds" globally myself.

>>106209544 (OP)
Gentoo's better for mental health

>>106209815
Nobody is using nor recommending a distro that looks like this out of the box immediately after leaving Windows. Bot harder, nobody uses your shit.

>>106212579
>Fedora is a rolling release
No it isn't. It works exactly like Debian/Ubuntu: You install a specific version, like "Fedora 42". Updates to that version won't have breaking changes. Upgrading to a new release requires a separate command. Again, exactly like Debian or Ubuntu.
The release schedule is a bit faster than Ubuntu and much faster than Debian, but that doesn't make it rolling. A rolling release distro is something like Arch.

>>106209544 (OP)
I use Ubuntu because I'm not an incel or a chud

>>106209544 (OP)
I’ve been using apt too long
yum is new (I used to use rpm) and exotic and alien
also, isn’t it weird how it returns 7 for some things instead of 0?

>daily driver
BWAHAHAHAHAH

>>106209544 (OP)
I'm too busy daily driving Android/OneUI instead.

>>106216121
I'd call Fedora semi-rolling. A new release every 6 months is a pretty fast pace.

>>106216175
Fedora hasn't been using yum for over a decade.

>>106212579
I'm not gonna say DNF5 is fast but it's a lot faster than what we had before

Christ, that is ugly. Why do they do these things?

I'm using linux mint.

I hate redhat. Long live Xorg and xlibre.

>>106217947
Poor bastard

>>106209544 (OP)
Because Fedora is run by a huge corporation that has steadily been making more questionable decisions. I didn't switch to Linux to run a corporate OS. Isn't there a bunch of telemetry on Fedora, like Windows?

>>106215920
Kalpa is KDE and the guy doing it (not Richard the aeon/gnome guy) seems alright.
