I use Fedora 38, it’s stable, things just work, and the software is up-to-date.

  • The package manager.
  • New releases make it to the repositories quickly.
  • The software is as vanilla as possible; no changes made by the distribution except to get it working.
  • The wiki.
  • +/- No nagging graphical updater.
  • +/- Users can share build scripts for building software from source very easily
  • +/- No particular stance on free software licenses.

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.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
