This is why I always end up back at Ubuntu. Shit just works 95% of the time. Sure, it's a skill issue that I can't make a lot of other distros work for me but I don't want to close a skill gap every time I need to use my computer
That’s what kept me on Fedora. It just works. When Ubuntu went all-in on Snaps and ignored every bit of criticism about it, that was the end of my love and support for Ubuntu or Canonical.
I recently set up a PC for a pensioner who can't or does not want to afford a Windows 11 PC. I used AlmaLinux (community RHEL). I'm not the biggest fan of some Gnome defaults, so I installed Dash To Panel from the official repositories and enabled traditional window buttons to make the experience closer to Windows. That's it.
The Fedora developers laid excellent ground work.
