I used to be the kind of geek who uses Arch, back when all distros allowed (and required) as much configuration as Arch. Now I use vanilla Ubuntu even though I hate Snap because I don't have to think about the OS at all.

why would we be insecure? fedora is a working and serious distro unlike arch (which is a toy). we get the peace of mind that comes from stability (tested software) and the last features that come with its updated repos.

>>
>>107651193
I just don't interact with them at all, maybe one day they'll be mandatory, I think in the base install includes Firefox in a snap, but it's just whatever, it still works as a web browser, and certainly works well enough to look up whatever is the recommended browser on the g wiki and then just install that normally
>>
>>107651193
Snaps aren't difficult, they're just a solution in search of a problem and a retarded waste of disk space. There aren't .deb packages in the official repo for some apps, including Firefox. You could add a PPA if you wanted to.
>>
>>107651233
how can ubuntu just werk if you can't even get firefox from an official repo? on fedora it comes preinstalled and you can remove it and get the flatpak or even the snap if you want

ive read somewhere that PPAs are also a pain and thats why debian dont use it kek (even tho you guys are close). so how does that work?

flats are just so fucking easy to manage, if its not in the repos i can always find it on flathub. maybe them can use it too.

Arch is just Gentoo for brainlets
Fedora and *buntu are for the working man

I just look at the steam stats which OS is the most used. And it seems to be Ubuntu. So I use Ubuntu.

The Mint kernel is too outdated, because it's based on the LTS version of Ubuntu. So I can't use that.
And I prefer apt above whatever the fuck Fedora is doing. Because now I can at least troubleshoot my own machine.

You really can't "learn" (how many package manager commands do you regularly utilize anyway?) or even cross-compare another package manager and that alone is what locks you into canonical's retarded decisions?

nta but i'm still not clear on what the actual differences are between package managers, aside from different syntax
>>
>>107650701
Where? I'll buy a macfag. Do they give good head?

>>107652425
dependency resolution, package format, pretty much everything that makes them do what they do

For you.

>>107652285
Pop's new desktop is still in beta even if they're calling it "epoch" or whatever, and changing the DE would just turn it into a System76-branded Mint.
>>
>>107652425
Biggest difference might be the default package formats of the files (.rpm/.deb) that they install

But you're right to be confused as I certainly am from the other anon's complaint because they're essentially just different ways to skin the same cat and they generally all do the same exact things:
1. Install software
2. Remove software
3. Handle dependency resolution
4. List/show software
5. Add/remove remote sources/repos
That's all. If they do it they MIGHT have slightly different syntax "upgrade" vs "update" (maybe), "info" vs "show"
>>
>>107652451
What do you mean "beta?" Ive been running 24.04 with cosmic since release. Haven't had a single issue. Not one.
Even OBS is working fine. Not a single problem with games or steam either.

I should add "how" they go about it, i.e. their implementation details which define performance and what they choose to do in dependency resolution, especially in default cases, might be worth digging into but I'd say that's more of a niche concern and not worth the level of autism displayed by some on this board, imo

Arch is only for x86_64 with a shitty repo, the 30 retards in charge of the project can barely do infrastructure maintenance and just pushes everyone to do their jobs instead "because arch is a community". Couldn't even maintain a package signing server, maintainer had to sign with their own computer, until Valve had enough and gave them a server, then Arch went nuts with the "we are collaborating with Valve".
>but Arch is not only x86_64
Yeah, that's another project not affiliated with the official Arch project.
>but Fedora is beta testing
Pretty much anything released and funded by Red Hat ends up in most distros. You tell me why Arch accepts all of that. Right, Arch just cares about being upstream (which is the real beta testing) and adopt what already works, they don't define new ways to do things, they don't do shit. SystemD, wayland, flatpak, pipewire, podman, btrfs, valkey, atomic distros, shim UEFI bootloader, NetworkManager, firewalld, bootc,toolbox, cockpit, plymouth, and way more, pushing for actual change. Fedora touches a lot of uncomfortable topics because it has to be talked about sooner or later, decisions are made, everyone criticize and once it is demonstrated it works, gets adopted by everyone. Of course they have failures but that is the purpose of the distro (while obeying US Laws, like the Linux Kernel itself). Debian is meant to be a distribution for everyone (ironically it cannot be distributed in North Korea, Syria, Iran and Cuba). Gentoo is meant to give the most customization to their users (which I think is the real Arch, with or without compiling).
You like to build your system from the ground up? You can do that with Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Guix, NixOS, Slackware, openSUSE. Want server image? A running GUI ootb? A minimal image? Other architectures? They got you covered, Arch can't. They don't care, is not the scope of the project and that's fine. But users think Arch is the greatest shit and it's not.

fedora installer is indeed very straightforward and much simpler and easier than debian, while debian still has some technicality bullshit
I can see why linus prefer it

>>107650612
Linus also said that he installed Fedora because he couldn't figure out how to install Debian.
>>
>>107655110
Debian only has three weird things during install.
1. Finding the right installer.
2. Asking for a root user and password, while you should just leave it empty.
3. Asking for your domain, while you should just leave it empty.
>>
>>107655122
the partition set is insanely counterintuitive too, specially if you want set a proper encrypted drive. but there are many sites/videos around teaching how to do and it works.

Using gnome and fedora is a nigger choice. I accept fedora only with kde.

I use Fedora because the last time I used Arch, it fail to update.
I still watch to use Arch with Hyprland deep down, but I also dislike debugging my computer.
