It just werks

Installed it on my laptop this weekend (I rarely use it) -- but pretty awesome how everything worked as expected. Been running Debian based distros for a while but might make Fedora my default.

i'm using fedora right now in my workstation, dnf is great but it's a bit slower than pacman or apt.

it's a rock solid distro for non-weebs.

It's the only distro that seems to get systemd right and actually make use of it.

great for anything, for servers or if you just don't like rebooting always go for --security updates, and upgrade distro every year or so. Literally Debian but done right

It's one of the few non meme distros, alongside Debian and Slackware I guess.
I've been a long time Debian stable user. Using no memes, how smooth can the transition be made to Fedora as the packages and package manager are completely different.

>apt install x
try dnf install x
>x not found
dnf search x or x related
>oh is not called x is called xf
wew that was hard.
I like apt more because instead of --excludepkgs you can use a + or - in the end of the name of the package, but that is just an alias and I doubt anyone actually uses.
The rpmfusion repo is almost added by every fedora user, I do it for ffmpeg only. It is not included by default because the codecs have licences that can't be shipped in fedora.

>how smooth can the transition be made to Fedora
Shouldn't be too bad.
-) You might be a bit annoyed by dnf's speed at first.
-) Package names are pretty straight forward.
-) Development files follow the -devel naming convention.
-) Many deem RPM Fusion as mandatory (you can't install mpv or VLC without it).
-) You'll soon notice that almost every FOSS dev provides their software as deb packages but not necessarily rpm packages.
-) Old software versions as standalone compatibility packages are a rare sight.
-) Fedora offers software groups, but by default many are hidden. dnf group list --hidden will show them all.
-) Sometimes you'll stumble across weird naming conventions. For example when installing a custom gdk-pixbuf module you usually need to run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders to load it. On Fedora however the executable is called gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-64 (or *-32). A slight annoyance if you don't know about it and the make file fails because gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders couldn't be executed.
-) Be absolutely sure to shut down properly after a kernel update.

dnf & yum suck. Apt is better.

>dnf is great but it's a bit slower than pacman or apt.
that's true, but i can really live with it. it's not like a constantly use it.

>Just werks out of the box
>Systemd is implemented nicely you it doesn't bother me that much like other distros do
>Same for GNOME because GNOME is tied with systemd
>Same for SELinux which is known for making things don't work. Never had this problem on Fedora.
>Very fluid workflow
>It is intended to above-medium users(like sysadmins, programmers, powerusers etc.) and not linux newbies(doesn't mean it is hard to use) so it focuses more on polishing the distro and development tools rather than focusing making it "easier to use".
>The userland is 100% free software which is good, the main repo has strict licensing rules so only free software gets there, which is good, but it still has non-free firmware which is also good because not everyone has a libre computer.
>If you have a libre computer you can use Freed-ora which is a rpm package that replaces linux with linux-libre and removes any additional nonfree software.
>Packages are compiled with hardening options like position-independend-executable which makes Fedora very secure
>Base installation is not too bloat but not too unusable. Comes with the minimal amountnof right tools.
>Developers are actually either Redhat developers or profesional/advanced community developers and not careless basement autists or retarded SJW trannies that remove packages just because they have the word "boob" in it.
>Includes the latest technologies (like wayland) and implements them correctly which means you get a modern and stable distro.
>Packages in the repo are not ancient
>Has an installer like every binary distro should
>dnf is pretty good
>uses RPM which is a widely-use package manager both in free-software culture and industrial world

This is why I like Fedora, user.

this, like you are reading from my mind.
Shame on Debian, it was great but now is just a broken fedora

Have a (You) because I agree.
Debian was good until they decided to fuck it up and now from THE linux distro it became an autistic distro that is pretty much only good for servers.

>tfw ip changed so I got no (you)

Kek

apt-get/apt vs yum/dnf
Simply just that. You really want to add rpmfusion tho.

Forgot to mention that IceCat is in the main repo and it is actually maintained.
This may sound unimportant, but I noticed only FSF approved distros have it in their repos. Most of the distros don't have it for some reason.

And they say Fedora is NSA kek

I'd use it if nouveau didn't cause kernel panics on optimus systems

same fag

downloading it right now and going to install it on my laptop to give it a shot.

very funny way to spell Arch user

Wrong thread buddy. We are talking about good distros and not yes-to-all kernel and software glued together as the base system

r/unixporn is the other way gal

people say the live images are bloated, same is true for live images of Debian though. that's why I do net installs

>KDE spin
You're playing Russian roulette, user.

these have to be bots right?

fedora is fucking awful and so is dnf

>how can people like things I dislike?

Why?

apt is horseshit desu

Very unstable for most people.

Any distro that requires 60 lines of a how-to guides to get basic things like media and drivers working (for each fucking one) can FUCK OFF.

>not using lubuntu
>kek

Why do I feel all of the pro-fedora posts are written by one person or a bot?

>his wife doesn’t use Fedora

Because you can't fathom how people might use a different OS than yours and because imagining one autistic person shilling is easier for you than to accept the fact that different people have different priorities and tastes and therefore might like something you don't.

so.. it's installed now.
seems fine to me.
dont't seem to have any issues with it.

Fedora seems fine, though I wouldn't see any real reason to switch my main machine from Kubuntu over to it.
The installer is pretty neat, but I actually prefer the OpenSuSE installer over every other one out there.

>cinnamon

>gogle mail
>faceberg

>not blacking out the tab name

>seems fine to me
yeah, I figured out they were autists.
Don't listen to people saying it's unstable they are retards. Stick with Kubuntu because of the software compatibility, though it's shit
hello Torvalds
that's kde retard

i just installed 29 xfce today. i like the bluebird theme, it goes well with the fedora icon theme and logo.

that's an odd way to spell Ubuntu

thats a funny way to spell slackware

systemD

Because their freetard philosophy makes me add third-party repos to get simple programs.

Oh, wait...

M'Linux

i'm ashamed to say, i'm laughing way too hard at this.
