    You will never get me with your garbage Fedora distro. I tried all variants over multiple years, multiple releases and I had nothing but issues. I would genuinely rather deal with Canonical’s nonsense than Red Hat’s. I hate Rad Hat.

      That’s wild to me it’s like the only distro family that ever didn’t have constant issues for me. I’m convinced there’s some lottery system that assigns us all to a distro at birth and it’s our life’s mission to find it

        I’ve been using it for years and it’s the only one I feel I can safely recommend.

        Sad that it’s owned by IBM now.

      Well, it’s relatively stable until it isn’t. If you don’t have time to fuck around, use mint. Unless you need new packages, then you’re fucked (maybe suse TW - but still don’t expect everything to work, just decent stability).

        Elaborate please. I’m weighing installing Fedora for KDE. What kind of fucking around should I expect?

          Fedora is a very early adopter of new technologies, often even earlier than Arch. They were the first to adopt PulseAudio, the first to use Wayland sessions by default, the first to drop Xorg, and will likely be the first to drop lib32 packages. Any issues that may arise from major upgrades or changes, you are most likely to be exposed to them on Fedora.

            Uh-huh. And how long do I need to run the VM before I run into an ‘isn’t stable’ situation? Half a year, a year, more? Am I supposed to use the VM as my main machine during that time?
