Why I’m Returning to Fedora
unknownuniverse.uk
I’ve finally stopped the distro-hop. After testing the waters, I’m back to Fedora Linux and KDE Plasma. Here is why it’s the stability I needed for home.

Two years into full-time Linux and I’m finally burning the distro-hopping cycle. I fell for the Arch/AUR trap for a while, but I got tired of spending my weekends debugging file manager crashes instead of maintaining my home lab.

Switched back to Fedora, and it’s boring in exactly the way I need it to be. It’s a stable launchpad for my projects, not the project itself.

    Fedora doesn’t ship proprietary NVIDIA drivers in its official repos and doesn’t include 3rd party repos with proprietary software either. This is for licensing and I guess philosophical reasons. Arch has a different approach. That’s why.

      Can’t you access those with RPM Fusion or something? Whenever I’m able to switch back to Linux I’d really want to start daily driving Fedora

        Yes, you can easily add 3rd party repos, they just aren’t included in the Fedora distribution. I’m sure there are instructions on the RPM Fusion website for it.
