  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Hello! Random person coming in. I'm a New Linux convert. Have used Mint and its great, works well. Much to learn but I feel like I got this. Tried out Fedora recently, and while I'm getting things to work. if feels like I made a mistake, like it doesn't feel as good to solve my problems on Fedora as it does something like Mint. I'm still learning, yes, but from a new Linux convert, Fedora does not feel as good to use and learn.

    Another random chiming in, been a Linux user for 10 years, and a couple years ago, I gave Fedora a good go for a month and couldn't get it either.

    I'm sure if I committed more time to it I would have understood it, but I needed a working computer and not one I was fighting with half the time, so I cut it there.

    My experience has been the opposite. Besides Debian which I use for headless machines instead of graphical ones, Fedora is my go-to JustWorks™️ distro for graphical computers that I need to be reliable and know I'll never need to worry about or fuss with. For my computer that I don't need reliability and don't mind messing around on, I use Gentoo.

    I think all this highlights is the how great it is to have many distros to choose from that fit different user's needs and different use cases. Obviously we are using the systems in different ways from each other.

    Not really sure what you mean by this, since the only major difference is the package manager or choice of desktop environment. Do you just prefer apt over dnf/yum? That's fine, you do you

    See, the biggest problem is that I don't know what I don't know. And maybe Mint helps me more in identifying those areas. But I'm trying to put words on a conceptual feeling.
