I’d like to settle on a distro, but none of them seem to click for me. I want stability more than anything, but I also value having the latest updates (I know, kind of incompatible).

I have tested Pop!_Os, Arch Linux, Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu. Arch and Pop being the two that I enjoyed the most and seemed the most stable all along… I am somewhat interested in testing NixOS although the learning curve seems a bit steep and it’s holding me back a bit.

What are you using as your daily drive? Would you recommend it to another user? Why? Why not?

    As a Fedora user, I don’t understand why you care this much about RHEL? I agree the decision is very bad, but Fedora is downstream from RHEL and

    1. Is not owned by Redhat (although they are it’s sponsor)
    2. Will never go closed source, as it is community run and this would infinitely degrade the quality of RHEL.

    If you really prefer using Fedora, I think the paywalling of RHEL’s sourcr code has little to no affect on you.

      You make good points. My jumping off the Fedora ship was a knee-jerk reaction to the RHEL doofusry, and not one based completely on rational thought, sadly. And now I’ve been hopping around spending more time researching stuff and trying things out than getting things done lol.

      So yeah. I might just go back to Fedora…

        Yeah, I almost distrohopped for the same reason!

        Even if you do go back to Fedora, you’re a more experienced user than you were before.
