Fedora is the only choice. Canonical enterprise support is a meme while every serious shop has a RHEL contract, and Fedora directly benefits from that.

And then says he uses void, I knew some niggers would join this thread to recommend their unique glow free distro.

I don't care about "manly" distros. I just want a normal distro, with a normal package manager, with a normal init system that we agreed on 10 years ago. That is compatible with most software, that isn't repackaged by some troons. If a company supports Linux, they most likely offer a deb and/or rpm.

Honestly, why? Why not debian? Why ubuntu over debian? Isn't debian stable the ultimate free server distro? Why ubuntu? I mean I get the rhel thing for the enterprise support.

>>108945645
no warranty. no support. 10 years of security updates. i think they even extended support for ubutnu 16.04 for some companies. like why would a company buy anything without a warranty when they can get something with a warranty and support?

You talk about DE, so you want it for desktop, so other "enterprise" shit matters not for you. Be aware that they both follow soulless corporations that will jump in any new bandwagon, especially fedora because it's literally the testing branch for RHEL. Last update ubuntu added some not fully tested rust utils in place of the holy gnu utils, while fedora will always put the latest redhat experiment in their distros.

If you want something to set and forget, there's nothing like debian stable, for desktop or for server, if you want something newer you can use ubuntu, but like I said be aware of canonical's faggotry, and debian is more about creating a snapshot of a fully tested, secure, and working system that can never break. If you want updates go for arch or install gentoo (unironically, it's good).

then you can get your le white man distro.

I've used both relatively recently and moved from Ubuntu to Fedora and happy I did it. But honestly I'm considering a move to Bazzite because I want something even more retard proof since I only really use my desktop for gaming and casual browsan

I just hate that Signal Desktop for example is only packaged for deb based distros on their official site. And this is often the case for many packages. If it supports Linux, there is a .deb for it.

I like Fedora, the codec fuckery is a bit annoying, but enabling rpmfusion isn't hard. I just hate that they default to btrfs without using a proper rollback method ootb, so I can see why you are interested in bazzite, but again... A fork or in that case an image/build script, I want to have a minimal supply chain and bare bones Fedora atomic is shit to setup.
>>
>>108945895
I respect Debian, but I prefer when a distro comes with a firewall, secure boot, apparmor/selinux by default.
>>
>>108945999
Yeah overall I think Fedoras downsides are super minimal but I think that Bazzite (and Bluefin/the ublue distros) take just enough liberty to make the immutable versions nice to use out of the box

You can also use their tooling and roll your own pretty easy, from what I understand (haven't done a lot of digging though)
>>
>>108945121
Between the two, I had far fewer problems with Fedora. Of dozens of distros over two decades, I've had the fewest with CachyOS.
>>
>>108946017
Firewall, fair enough. But Debian has Secure Boot and AppArmor by default. And if you want Fedora's firewall, just
apt install firewall-config firewalld

>>108945999
>enabling rpmfusion isn't hard
True, but running COPRs or trying to make Terra not conflict with RPMFusion kind of sucks.
>>108945895
>there's nothing like debian stable, for desktop or for server
True, but Sid is also nice for desktop if you know what you're doing. Although random packages being out of date on Sid is annoying.

Even tho I like it, Fedora always gives me quirks for some reason. Whereas Ubuntu works flawlessly no matter my hardware.
>>
>>108945645
It's not about "what's best" it's about "warranty". With Canonical you get warranty of support by paying for it which is more important than actually working.

easily fedora
>no snap bullshit
>adopts new good features while mostly avoiding slop (rustutils, shit like that)
>fairly secure out of the box (selinux,firewall,rootless containers on podman/toolbox,immutable versions that just werk)
>most of the ubuntu ecosystem is focused on the 24-mont-releases where's fedora mostly revolves around the 6-month-releases, quicker new packages
>plasma desktop as a flagship and not a secondary 'flavor' or 'spin' like ubuntu
>dnf mogs apt
>kernels and sometimes the desktop gets updated even inside the 6m window

the only reason i'd consider running ubuntu (maybe as a multi-boot setup) is its better supported in some places , in some programs/SDKs/things where there's barely any linux-related instructions if they support one distro its typically ubuntu and that still has momentum as the 'default' distro but almost anything that has instructions for more than one distro also supports fedora+arch. also on any fedora install you can just run
toolbox create --distro ubuntu --release 24.04

and you have an ubuntu shell for running shit that requires ubuntu
>>
>>108945121
>White, working anons,
can we stop with this shit? go back to /pol/ if you're gonna be shoving your race bait garbage into threads. Anyway the answer is Ubuntu if you just want it to work OOTB and Fedora if you want a generally better experience at the cost of having to install things like Codecs and drivers manually

you create a rhel linux dev account
download the iso (offline or online iso)
flash the usb
install rhel
register the system to your account
you have now to renew the "trial" every year
