I like Fedora for my desktop. Close enough to upstream to get the latest features, but not so bleeding edge that it's unstable.

    And it's Linus's distro of choice.

    Yeah, but he has stated that he really doesn't have an opinion. He just happened to install Fedora on the family PC a long time ago and now he neither wants to deal with two separate distros, nor switch the whole household over.

    Yeah same. Its a little annoying having to wait for certain updates, like when a new application can be built from source on arch, but i'd have to rebuild a core dependency from a scratch to get it working on fedora.

    But ive been using it for years, and even if i broke the system, ive always got it working again, which is saying something.

    I'm on Nobara, and if the installation ever dies, i will probably install pure fedora. My previous experiences were all with debian, which drove me crazy as a gamer because when playing current games you want your system to be a lot closer to the bleeding edge of the knife - debian is more like a chain glove for holding it.

    I'm kinda coming around to using Fedora. I use Arch, btw, but Fedora is pretty close to how I configure my Arch system anyway. Plus, Fedora has a little extra polish with the splash screens that I don't bother with in my Arch setup.

    Maaaaybe...
