There are only 3 distros: Arch, Fedora and Debian.
Fedora is superior to both.
KDE>Gnome, no discussion.
It factually the best Linux experience with no tweaking required, bloatfree.
No unemployed femboy spamming window managers Arch users.
No Cuckwifed Debian outdate footfags.
Actual Industry leading RedHat.
RCHA, OpenShift, OpeStack, CentOS,AlmaLinux.
Why larp as a Linux Engineer when you can be one.
I am for OpenSource, not a FOSSfag.
Learn the Difference, it can save you thousands in detrans surgeries and even your life.
God Bless You and Remember Jesus died for yours and mine sins, We are fallen sinners and Our Saviour death on the Cross proves he gave us Freedom to Choose him, The Lord becoming Flesh proves he Loves Us.
Jews killed our Saviour and the Talmud offends our Blessed Mother.
You won't have a Wife of your own, You will own no land, eat the bugs, the Money you Earn will lose its value, You are a Citizen of the World, No God, No Family, No Community, No Gender Roles.
God its so tiring.
Remember you win by solely stop watching Porn because Jews = Satan.

Maybe he uses it because there are so many choices for ebook readers and text editors and simple music players and image viewers in the GNOME ecosystem. Almost like that's as complex as their software ever gets...

I didn't say it was bad. I said that's all GNOME devs can do. Audio file player #741, markdown editor #8812, calculator #604. Just doesn't seem to get much beyond that kind of thing.
>>
>>107799988
that's not the fault of arch or kde. likely the amd gpu at a firmware level when connected via DP
>>
>>107799788
I'm going to explain again why fedora is not the best:
- It doesn't have the latest stable versions.
- It doesn't have AUR or anything equivalent. You must rely on flatpaks to get some software.
- Packages are not vanilla, they have unwanted modifications.
- Configuration is through tools made by Fedora that are often not very good.
- It can't mix application versions, meaning two versions of the same application.
- Updates are not atomic. Failed in the middle, you have a broken system.
- Fedora is a stupid name.

Is Fedora bad? No, it's good to start. However it's not really a good choice if you know what you're doing. You can only really be confident your system is solid with Arch or NixOS, anything is limited by whatever the distro told you to do.

I know you trannies can get your panties in a bunch, but this is just ridiculous lol
I'm saying even at the third party level, the GNOME native apps are all basically just school projects. It's not serious. It's why Linux has basically no market share. It's the default on almost everything and it sucks dick and it has no apps, except for the ones built with different libraries which don't fit in on it. Maybe commit message editor #1491 will be the winning ticket though. The killer app GNOME needs.

>He thinks the kernel is not backed up by Amazon and other corpos
Linus Torvalds and all kernel organization members are literally under corpo payroll and complies with anything under US laws.
Arch linux is only for x86_64, 30 people making scripts and hardly ever managing infrastructure, Valve got fed up with their shitty signing package they had to give them one and then Arch got wet thinking they were on the same level as Valve, absent from giving news to users, relying on everyone with the AUR and a wiki, having no working isos ootb, thinking having a setup script is the achievement of the century, still adopting anything Fedora pushes first, with a shitty packaging policy.
Literally all distros can have an arch-like setup experience. Any distro has a base, minimal iso where you can start installing shit, while also having working ISOS ootb and supporting most architectures, with a good package selection.

I have been using Gentoo GNU/Linux ever since I had to jump off of Windows 7, and I will never use anything else.
Portage is just superior.

>>107800067
>- It doesn't have the latest stable versions.
It's a 6 month release cycle, if you have software xxx version 3.1.9, you WILL get 3.2.0. Sure, if they suddenly release 4.0, you won't get it, you have to wait for the next cycle. But you always get the latest security and bux fixes (minor versions).
>AUR
lol, lmao even. AUR can't be trusted, it gets ddos'd on the regular, malware every month and broken packages. AUR is a hack and for people that are afraid of Gentoo, Fedora has copr, which is like a better audited AUR.

My point is that OP mentioning KDE fedora specifically means that he is a lying faggot.

>>107799788

You know, I already use Arch on my notebook but I'm switching completely to it on my PC from Windows. I tried Fedora but I can't really get what the advantage would be in my case; I feel comfortable with KDE and a tiling window manager.
My sister is using Linux Mint since 2020 instead, she hates Windows now and since she's not a technical user, she appreciates using mainly UIs and avoid the terminal unless needed. Anons, do you think she should give Fedora a shot? She mainly uses statistics related software, like R Studio.
>>
Arch KDE is the very best though.
>>
>>107799967
Somebody has to compile it. Do you even understand what an ABI issue is and why it can occur and why the only solution to the problem is to re-compile the affected packages in question?

They're not.

I do use KDE. Plasma's the only thing that can handle my monitor setup atm and I need a particular deb pkg for my autism so I use Kubuntu. My only gripe with it is that they keep updating my pkg to the main branch without my permission.

I am using Fedora 43 Gnome with a tripple monitor setup, 1 27" 2k, 2 24" 1080p. two are connected to nvidia GPU, 1 is connected to integrated intel gpu. No issues so far.

KDE has always seemed fairly heavy to me. I tend to like Gnome or even XFCE. What would be the main reason for me to switch to KDE?

Im just now getting up to speed on the Atomic desktop versions of Fedora. It sounds interesting and I would like to give it a try but I noticed it doesnt seem to play well with dual booting on a shared disked. Anyone had success with these dual booting or should i just put it on its own disk and swap out?
>>
>>107807024
>ebook and software
most ebook readers seem to be in gtk, arianna seems pretty bad, anyway, maybe inkscape should have been mentioned. It is undeniable that qt has more professional and standard software due to its powerful and cross-platform nature. theres also a lot of cool, tested and solid software in gtk; geany, stardict, claws-mail, gajim, homebank, gparted & liferea.
>the real issue
qt does a terrible job as a de (its best known de is known for crashing) while gtk is solid and simpler, that's why the best des are gtk. personally, I think qt is also better implemented in a gtk de, opinions of my own since i've only used kde and xfce.
>>

>>107804151
Six months is half a year. That just means you don't get the latest software.

Security issues happen in all software. Fedora is not immune.
>>
>>107804366
"I tried Fedora but I can't really get what the advantage would be in my case" none. If you're used to Arch you're not going to like Fedora.
>>
>>107806229
The issue for me was mainly getting the scaling on the monitors so windows were the same size when moving them between monitors. So far Plasma's the only one that gave me the level of precision I wanted with that. Maybe Fedora does that out the box, but again, there's no rpm of the pkg I need. I even tried building it, and that went real poorly.
