    Long time arch user (amazing distro). Recently moved to Fedora Kinoite to try it out. I like it so far.

        Cause those are nothing more then distros that come with some prepackeged apps. Nothing I can’t easily do myself and prefer more vanilla experience and minimal bloat distros.

        Bazzite is just an immutable fedora image with preconfigured containers, among others an arch container for running steam and adjacent apps.

        Overall fedora (whether immutable or regular) feels like a rolling release. By the time a new release comes out, most packages are similar, except maybe a big suite (e.g. new gnome version). Upgrades are also pretty seamless too. My grandpa’s pc has been running Fedora since 27 (or 29) and it’s now on 38. Never reinstalled

          It’s wild how everyone’s experiences are different. I’ve tried to upgrade Fedora versions twice, and ran into issues both times.

          Meanwhile I’ve been smooth sailing with Arch for years.

          The last time I used Fedora was almost 15 years ago, and back then release upgrades took forever (45 min IIRC) and stuff often broke. That was the main reason I switched to Arch and why I stick with rolling releases these days. Their packages were usually really fresh, so that is still the same.

          I think I used Fedora last around 18 or 20 (can’t remember exactly), and I remember it being the first major distro to use GNOME 3 and systemd. My main gripe was the upgrader, fedup, and yum was really slow, but other than that it was a fine distro.

          I’m on openSUSE Tumbleweed now and have no intention to try Fedora again, but I like that it’s an option.
