Personally, at this point I don't fully understand why someone would choose to use Fedora over something like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It's such a fantastic, rolling-release distro, that's super stable, easy to work with, has some amazing tools to work with it for more experienced users (YaST), and now it also means you aren't involving yourself in the chain-of-FUD that is arising due to RHEL's incompetence.

I was using Fedora because I needed Appgate for work, and a Mullvad rpm was a bonus. Neither of those are compatible with openSUSE, so I'm back on Arch (btw). Tumbleweed was my first distro, and I'm always looking for an excuse to go back.

I need to use fedora because it's the near OS with bleeding edge, aside from RHEL that I work daily. Just matter of convenient. I don't know, SUSE/OpenSUSE seems not for me.

Not really Fedora is Red Hat's upstream, and about 30% of contribution comes from Red Hat. It is a community project after all.

Any source for the 30/70 split?

I am more worried about them dropping packages to push users to use flatpaks.

I am not conceded but keeping an eye in things.

My needs for a work station and my needs for a server are different. For a work station it needs to work without getting in my way, and my metric to compare it to is Windows.

Does it crash?

Does it force me to use a (Microsoft) account?

Can I use it and install it offline?

Does my software work?

So far their decisions do not impact these questions for me, nor change the answers to them.

Their decisions have impacted my servers though, and I am waiting on Alma to see how they move forward. Sticking with them so long as its binary compatible with another distro. But if they can't do that I'll migrate over to Debain for the stability.

Desktop, I feel I would need to go into the weeds more than want to, to get arch configure like Fedora, or to move back to a Debain base OS and get my usability back.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
