From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fedora (lemmy.world)

Dangerous opinion, I've recently moved to Fedora after Ubuntu and after customising it on the GNOME desktop, it's literally Ubuntu (But better) in every way except no snaps.

Personally as someone who got the ground running using Ubuntu as my 1st Linux distro, fedora is a comfortable transfer and I really like their spins.

Sure DNF can be slow but you can fix that and sure redhat can be a little... difficult with their decisions.

What do you think of Fedora? So far I enjoy the stability combined with near-arch levels of getting new updates!

I’m looking at putting Fedora Silverblue on my laptop (it’s shared between myself and my wife) after an update went bad on EndeavourOS — context

From what I’ve seen it looks rock solid.

Maybe take a look at universal-blue.org, especially the Aurora (KDE) or Bluefin (Gnome), too. It's basically the same, but with some QoL stuff already added, like proprietary drivers and more already set up for you for a nicer experience.

I’ve just finished installing Silverblue on the laptop but will give Bluefin a shot. Thanks for the tip!

If you want a stock gnome experience from the ublue image (like the one you get from silverblue), look for the ublue-main image

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

AFAIK the uBlue stock image is even leaner than Silverblue. uBlue doesn't contain any pre-installed Flatpaks by default.

Wait doesn't ublue have the gnome apps installed as flatpaks¿? I have always rebased silverblue to ublue because I have had trouble with the ublue installer - some efi issues in grub
