I've never seen an infographic for "I use arch, btw." until now.
oh come on. I don't ever say it outside of meme contexts. I just personally enjoy rolling releases and don't really like the corporate feeling of Fedora, so i'm left with only really Arch as a good option.
Opensuse can also be rolling. And that is european!
Or, as honourably mentioned, OpenSuSE, specifically tumbleweed.
Just lighthearted poking, I don't have anything bad to say about anyone's choices. I didn't mean any offense. Sorry if that was its tone.
No, no don't worry, no offense taken π I should have expected it lol
Fedora is corporate? I nearly spat my coffee ;-)
I'm flashing back to working with suse on unitedlinux and the challenges we had. If you want a very Corporate distro, it's right there.
Never again.
I mean.. fedora is RHEL, which is very corporate
I'm getting tired of dispelling this myth, and I don't even use either π
Do people even read? RHEL is downstream from Fedora. They're both forks of Red Hat, but Red Hat β RHEL.
Does this need to be on a billboard or something?
Sorry. It's still corporate, since it's coming from red hat. Thanks for telling me though.
It's not "coming from" Red Hat, Fedora is forked from it originally but is directly downstream from the linux kernel, there's no Red Hat involved between the Linux Foundation and the Fedora devs.
In fact, there's no more Red Hat at all, there's only RHEL, which is downstream from Fedora.
Fedora is not downstream from Red Hat. I don't know how to put that in any plainer terms...
I see. Have a nice day. I still won't use Fedora.
You certainly don't have to, and I don't use it either. I'm simply telling you that it's not downstream from RHEL, which seems to be a common misconception
fair enough
Other way around mostly...
Fedora trys stuff first.
Funny that it's not a rolling distro, yet it is often ahead of my cachyos box. It's astounding how fast fedora puts stuff out yet never any effort on my part to manage it. Unlike cachy or even arch.
Fedora is the most corporate not-actually-corporate distro
