Hello all, I’ve been distro hopping a lot lately and have a long term goal of settling on one distro for the family laptops.

Currently it’s a smattering of linux distro’s and some M$ across all the systems in the house.

In short the fam has had a pretty negative reaction to Gnome for all the usual reasons, so there is a kubuntu instance, Nobara, but the KDE version, Manjaro etc… I kind of want to give Fedora a stint on my laptop and noticed the Fedora spins project and was wondering if anyone has played around with it at all?

I spun up the KDE version in a VM alongside the default Fedora and noticed it’s running a newer kernel than the default, which is interesting…

Is it an equal partner in update cycles?

    I’d recommend Mint or Manjaro for family computers.

    Probably Mint, just because Pamac still has issues.

    Fedora is a bad choice because you’re stuck in the dnf ecosystem with no real benefit.

    I’m a firm believer that the only value in Fedora is for Red Hat. Their shills are the ones who promote it over more practical options.

      In case you really want/need some more modern drivers/software,… Nobara is also recommendable stable.
