From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I dislike Fedora anyways.
Why do you dislike Fedora?
I'm genuinely curious.
Extremely slow package manager (the most important one), confusing installer, fast deprecation of important technologies and testing of new technologies on its users (making major upgrades risky) is what I can remember now.
Thank you for the reply!
Fair. Though, IIRC, it's in the same order of magnitude as
aptandzypper. But yeah;apk,pacmanandxbpsare definitely faster by a wide margin. Hopefully,dnf5will be able to close the gap significantly.I often hear this. But I'm not sure if I understand. Is it because Anaconda does not walk you (explicitly) through all parts of the installation (at least by default)? And, instead, chooses to give the user an overview (at some point) in which the user is expected to go over each one of them by themselves.
Fair. I think this is the most legitimate concern. Thankfully, over the last two years, I have yet to bang my head against a brick wall for reasons related to this. But I understand why others are more reluctant based on Fedora's (less recent) track record.
Apt can be improved with frontends and it doesn't take 10 minutes to sync the repos.
Idk much about it but I heard it's slow too.
Yes.
Yea even archinstall might be better than this design lol.
X11. Though I don't remember if they decided to drop it before explicit sync was introduced for NVidia drivers or after.
nalais indeed pretty cool.Thank you for clarifying/confirming the parts related to how Fedora's installation is confusing.
Totally forgot about this one. Blame AMD 😛. Thank you for correcting me!
