fedora is shit
Fedora user here, it's pretty good for what I'm doing, e.g. brogramming, web browsing, reports, homework.

it just don't work, try installing it and get everything to work.
>pro tip : you can't
>>51913879
OpenSuse is better.
>>51913879
Best distro for workstation and laptop, everyone saying the contrary is either a fag or never actually used Fedora in the past 5 years.

I just switched back to Fedora after using Gentoo for a year.
Fedora problems:
Have to reinstall at least once per year due to no long term support
Something is always broken with every release, by the time it's fixed support for that release is over
It's a pain to try to maintain your own kernel patches / source repos. I just don't customize my kernel on Fedora
Good things:
dnf is easy compared to portage. Not necessarily better, but definitely easier.
They make some good decisions about how to organize things in the os, it's clear that they really try to make all the bleeding-edge stuff work even though it never all works
Basically I like Gentoo better theoretically but stuff was slowly breaking and I'm not neet enough right now to spend time fixing it. Fedora just breaks all at once but once you deal with that you're good for six months to a year. I also want the latest kernels.

because it's not debian
The package manager is buggy and slow and the developers are SJWs.

As of the most recent version of Fedora, dnf now allows totally painless upgrading. It's almost as easy as just running a regular update now.

Thanks anon, I'll give it a shot when 24 comes out.

My experience with fedora has been great. Its a stable distro that still is pretty cutting edge.
But for my day to day use im comfy on debian.
It has so much more packeges and if you use testing you have a reasl stable rolling release branch. No more new installs. :)

that's where you're wrong , dnf is awesome and pretty easy

Agree installed opensuse after using arch and funtoo it's awesome works, zypper is completely fine and pretty fast. Used fedora for a while it's fine nothing special but i have one big problem with it windows update is almost fater than yum, might as well compile from source.
It has been couple of years since I used Fedora, but here is my 2c:
- 6 month upgrade cycle is worst of all worlds. Go with either rolling release or LTS model
- The upgrader was bit unreliable at the time
- Building rpms is far more annoying/tedious than debs or Arch pkgs.
- Smaller repositories than e.g. Debian
- Weirdly opinionated at some points (both pro and con)
- Having the RedHat heritage makes it interesting and relatively solid
I would say go with it if you can stand the release model, but I know I couldn't and any upsides it has were not nearly enough to balance that out for me.

fedora is absolute shit, go for grownup distros like Arch or Debian
Fedora is a good OS, why would people hate on Fedora in this board? It is good tech.
>>51917783
mainly because it's RedHat's bitch, and RH is evil itself in the gnulinux universe

People hate on Fedora, but it's pretty much CentOS testing. Or Red Hat Enterprise Linux for normal desktops.
People are idiots, it's a great distro.
