So uh, whats a distro that's like Fedora where shit usually just works and it has up to date packages but IS NOT bleeding edge?

Ruled out:

  • Gentoo
  • Arch
  • Debian
  • Ubuntu
  • nix
  • Guix (I like to install this on top of a base distro)

Bonus if its well maintained as a community project and is not a corporate frontend (i.e Fedora->Red Hat).

@zyd Qubes OS. With it you don't even have commit on a single distribution, but you can use all of them at the same time, and transparently switch between them.

Also, just to provide context, this shift is prompted by the Feudal, wait sorry, Fedora Council's desire for monopolization, wait sorry, leadership position in Bullshit As A Platform™ (LLMs). Not to mention their plans to completely remove X11 from being even available as packages.

Sucks because I've been using Fedora for around 3-4 years and has been the best experience I've had as a stable daily use distro that has up to date packages but stays out of the way. Its been the most pleasant to use to compile projects from source (as compared to the CBT experience you get with Debian and Ubuntu).

@zyd That's awful to read. Really. And good to know to stay far away from .

@louis They also just happen to be a red hat employee. Purely incidental the direction Fedora is taking. "Community!"
