close to upstream, rather clean (doesnt customize stuff like how ubuntu does), usually supported by 3rd parties (vscode, google chrome etc), good package repos, secure boot support, offline upgrades support, up to date packages but also stable, dnf supports downgrades (dnf downgrade <pkg>).
Also, I do like RH
That said, nothing is perfect:
- SELinux is a bit annoying, but I have learned to do some stuff more proper to not annoy it
- To get good download speeds I have to add some text to dnf.conf, and also edit the repo files using sed to use swedish servers (mainly ftp.acc.umu.se). Changing repositories is much easier in debian based systems, also in arch. This also applies to rpmfusion
- Regarding download speeds, dnf also doesn't seem to do multiple connections when you are downloading a single package, which makes downloading vscode take quite a bit of time.
Anyway, I'm quite happy on fedora currently. Funny how I went thru a big journey to end back here.
I'm a bit worried about the flatpak-focused future. But I assume that if they go flatpak-only, it means that I might be able to give flatpaks a shot again...
