PS. This is not a critique to Debian-based distros. And i'm not suggesting you to skip Ubintu for Arch either. Arch is a bit advanced and not too easy to new users, so that won't do for some people...

... just install Linux Mint instead.

When you want to do work on the OS instead of working on the OS. Arch was a fun learning experience but eventually an nvidia driver or something shit the bed on me and I never went back. Outsource the unit testing to others. Fedora still has very new packages and you can still roll from release to release. Even better if you're using one of the Fedora Atomic flavors.

    I was waiting for Syncthing 2 for like half a year. It’s yesterday when I’ve got it. All my other Arch machines have it for a very long time.

    Could always just use anything like that in distrobox.

    Just saying because I too want stuff to just work and fedora does but still gives you access to new stuff like that in other ways.

    Yeah, thanks! I think I’d try something like that some other time, as this time I didn’t know there are options. Here on Lemmy, someone mentioned that Synching self-updates if you just drop it somewhere on your disk. (Pretty cool!)

    I do enjoy Fedora a lot, but on shared machines. For my own machines, I prefer to tinker a lot, and build my own, depending on what I need. Since that’s quite easy once you’re past some point, why not, right?
