Fedora or Opensuse

I'm looking at these 2 distros to daily drive, which one should I use and why, bonus for DE suggestion.

openpepe if you want the best kde implementation
fedora if you are a disgusting foot fetishist

install gentoo instead

openSUSE
+ openQA (automated bugfixing for rolling)
+ best btrfs and KDE implementation
+ no filepicker meme
+ openPEPE
+ just werks
+ green
- nocodecslol, need another repo for that
Fedora
+ NSA
+ youtube.com/watch?v=9iacZrrkGzk
+ home of systemd and RedHat, oh wait, IBM

you choose fag

opensuse gives you OBS

Just go by the logos/mascots.
You could get an unber sugoi dragon with an equally sugoi chameleon to accompany your computing,
or,
a foot and the letter 'f'.
Now, I dunno about you, but reptiles are way cooler than some stinky humanoid foot and the thing people say to mourn that the death of that one guy who's said that people like me glow in the dark before (what's his name?)

Fedora because as it's aimed to be similar to red hat it supports a lot of hardware. Also Fedora being released every 6 months has new software but at release time is stable and gets security/bug fixes.
Reasons not to Pepe:
>Never go rolling.
then no tumble420
>Leap is older than fedora
your choice, may as well just go CentOS or Ubuntu LTS/Debian

fedora has a kde spin
>muh meme implementation
just grab a bare kernel and compile kde on top it would be the same

Fedora because it's related to RHEL and CentOS, and you can get a job involving RHEL and CentOS.

>daily drive

Not gaonna make it op.
Pls change your ways befoer it's too late

>pls sir do the needful
>install Windows
never

tard

Was at the same choice, tossed a coin and fedora it was. Good for normie shit. Thought that gnome would be a problem, because Jow Forums memes and I almost exclusively used windows before (and debian a little) But actually it just works fine.

Not even Win 10 AmE?

Fedora. It's the right middle-ground between the two openSUSE release schedules (Leap and Tumbleweed).

No stability, bugs, regressions, regressions and regressions: There's an incredible number of regressions (both in the kernel and in user space applications) when things which used to work break inexplicably; some of the regressions can even lead to data loss. Basically there is no quality control (QA/QC) nor regression testing in most Open Source projects (including the kernel) - Microsoft, for instance, reports that Windows 8 received 1,240,000,000 hours of testing whereas new kernel releases get, I guess, under 10,000 hours of testing - and every Linux kernel release is comparable to a new Windows version. Serious bugs which impede normal workflow can take years to be resolved. A lot of crucial hardware (e.g. GPUs, Wi-Fi cards) isn't properly supported. Both Linux 4.1.9/4.1.10, which are considered "stable" (moreover this kernel series is also LTS(!)), crash under any network load. WTF??
Hardware issues: Under Linux many devices and device features are still poorly supported or not supported at all. Some hardware (e.g. Broadcom Wi-Fi adapters) cannot be used unless you already have a working Internet connection. New hardware often becomes supported months after introduction. Specialized software to manage devices like printers, scanners, cameras, webcams, audio players, smartphones, etc. almost always just doesn't exist - so you won't be able to fully control your new iPad and update firmware on your Galaxy SIII. Linux graphics support is a big bloody mess because kernel/X.org APIs/ABIs constantly change and NVIDIA/ATI/Broadcom/etc. companies don't want to allocate extra resources and waste their money just to keep up with an insane rate of changes in the Open Source software.

The lack of standardization, fragmentation, unwarranted & excessive variety, as well as no common direction or vision among different distros: Too many Linux distributions with incompatible and dissimilar configurations, packaging systems and incompatible libraries. Different distros employ totally different desktop environments, different graphical and console applications for configuring your computer settings. E.g. Debian-based distros oblige you to use the strictly text based `dpkg-reconfigure` utility for certain system-related maintenance tasks.

The lack of cooperation between open source developers, and internal wars: There's no central body to organize the development of different parts of the open source stack which often leads to a situation where one project introduces changes which break other projects (this problem is also reflected in "Unstable APIs/ABIs" below). Even though the Open Source movement lacks manpower, different Linux distros find enough resources to fork projects (Gentoo developers are going to develop a udev alternative; a discord in ffmpeg which led to the emergence of libav; a situation around OpenOffice/LibreOffice; a new X.org/Wayland alternative - Mir) and to use their own solutions.
A lot of rapid changes: Most Linux distros have very short upgrade/release cycles (as short as six months in some cases, or e.g. Arch which is a rolling distro, or Fedora which gets updated every six months), thus you are constantly bombarded with changes you don't expect or don't want. LTS (long term support) distros are in most cases unsuitable for the desktop user due to the policy of preserving application versions (and usually there's no officially approved way to install bleeding edge applications - please, don't remind me of PPAs and backports - these hacks are not officially supported, nor guaranteed to work). Another show-stopping problem for LTS distros is that LTS kernels often do not support new hardware.

Unstable APIs/ABIs & the lack of real compatibility: It's very difficult to use old open and closed source software in new distros (in many cases it becomes impossible due to changes in core Linux components like kernel, GCC or glibc). Almost non-existent backwards compatibility makes it incredibly difficult and costly to create closed source applications for Linux distros. Open Source software which doesn't have active developers or maintainers gets simply dropped if its dependencies cannot be satisfied because older libraries have become obsolete and they are no longer available. For this reason for instance a lot of KDE3/Qt3 applications are not available in modern Linux distros even though alternatives do not exist. Developing drivers out of the main Linux kernel tree is an excruciating and expensive chore. There's no WinSxS equivalent for Linux - thus there's no simple way to install conflicting libraries. In 2015 Debian dropped support for Linux Standard Base (LSB). Viva, incompatibility!

Software issues: Not that many games (mostly Indies) and few AAA games (Valve's efforts and collaboration with games developers have resulted in many recent games being released for Linux, however every year thousands of titles are still released for Windows exclusively*. More than 98% of existing and upcoming AAA titles are still unavailable in Linux). No familiar Windows software, no Microsoft Office (LibreOffice still has major troubles correctly opening Microsoft Office produced documents), no native CIFS (simple to configure and use, as well as password protected and encrypted network file sharing) equivalent, no Active Directory or its featurewise equivalent.
Money, enthusiasm, motivation and responsibility: I predicted years ago that FOSS developers would start drifting away from the platform as FOSS is no longer a playground, it requires substantial effort and time, i.e. the fun is over, developers want real money to get the really hard work done. FOSS development, which lacks financial backing, shows its fatigue and disillusionment. The FOSS platform after all requires financially motivated developers as underfunded projects start to wane and critical bugs stay open for years. One could say "Good riddance", but the problem is that oftentimes those dying projects have no alternatives or similarly-featured successors.

No polish, no consistency and no HIG adherence (even KDE developers admit it).

Neither Adobe Flash, nor Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome use video decoding and output acceleration in Linux, thus youtube clips will drain your laptop battery a lot faster than e.g. in Windows. Adobe says they are fed up with video decoding acceleration bugs under Linux and refuse to re-add support for this feature (it was available previously but then they removed it to stop the torrent of bug reports). No, Adobe is not guilty that video acceleration is a mess in Linux.
NVIDIA Optimus technology and ATI dynamic GPU switching are still not supported on Linux out of the box in top tier Linux distros (Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Fedora). To be fair Linux Mint 17.2 now supports Optimus but in order to change your active GPU you have to log off/log on which is terribly inconvenient. Over 50% laptops out there contain either Optimus or AMD switchable graphics.
Keyboard shortcut handling for people using local keyboard layouts is broken (this bug is now 13 years old). Not everyone lives in English-speaking countries.
Keyboard handling in X.org is broken by design - when you have a pop-up or an open menu, global keyboard shortcuts/keybindings don't (GTK) work (QT).
There's no easy way to use software which is not offered by your distro repositories, especially the software which is available only as sources. For the average Joe, who's not an IT specialist, there's no way at all.
You don't play games, do you? Linux still has very few AAA games: for the past three years less than a dozen of AAA titles have been made available. Most Linux games on Steam are Indies.
Microsoft Office is not available for Linux. LibreOffice/OpenOffice still has major troubles properly opening and rendering documents created in Microsoft Office (alas, it's a standard in the business world). Besides, LibreOffice has a drastically different user interface and many features work differently.

>fedora has a kde spin
yeah pick fedora kde if you want the shittiest kde implementation

Several crucial Windows applications are not available under Linux: Quicken, Adobe authoring products (Photoshop, Audition, etc.), Corel authoring products (CorelDraw and others), Autodesk software (3ds Max, Autocad, etc.), serious BluRay/DVD authoring products, professional audio applications (CuBase, SoundForge, etc.).
In 2017 there's still no alternative to Windows Network File Sharing (network file sharing that is easily configurable, discoverable, encrypted and password protected). NFS and SSHFS are two lousy totally user-unfriendly alternatives.
Linux doesn't have a reliably working hassle-free fast native (directly mountable via the kernel; FUSE doesn't cut it) MTP implementation. In order to work with your MTP devices, like ... Linux based Android phones you'd better use ... Windows or MacOS X. Update: a Russian programmer was so irked by libMTP he wrote his own complete Qt based application which talks to the Linux kernel directly using libusb. Meet Android-File-Transfer-Linux.
Too many things in Linux require manual configuration using text files: NVIDIA Optimus and AMD switchable graphics, UHD displays, custom display refresh rates, multiseat setups, USB 3G/LTE modems, various daemon's configuration, and advanced audio setups to name a few.
Forget about managing your e-gadgets (especially smartphones, e.g. iPhones are useless under Linux). In many cases forget about your printer's advanced features like ink-level reporting.

Nice try, Wincuck

have fun giving your laptop battery an early death

lmaoo look at all this cope!

>best kde implementation
I thought that was KDE neon

It's close, but they treat it more as a showcase distro if anything, so oS still holds that spot for implementation until I hear about something else that isn't a total meme

>ATI dynamic GPU switching are still not supported on Linux out of the box in top tier Linux distros (Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Fedora)

Works good for me, significantly better that windows work arounds. Launch steam with it and all games use it, not the case on windows

I'm OP, of all the copy pasta you could've put in the thread, why'd you put the fucking longest one in?
