From macOS to FreeBSD

Re:From macOS to FreeBSD by bitcharmer on Friday February 18, 2022 @08:32AM (#30385463)

Ubuntu has been my daily driver for well over a decade now. As a developer I always wanted to give Fedora a try. Every two years or so I give it a chance and... Not even once did I succed in installing it.

Just Google "fedora won't install" and you'll see what I mean. From my perspective fedora is a meme distro.

Yes, I'm a power user. I just don't want to spend a whole day on something that's expected to work out of the box.

Interesting. I'm surprised to hear that. I've never once had a problem, but its installer is weird. Figuring out how to select the target disk is always strange. Other than that, though, it's the same as any other installer.

The thing I really like about Fedora is how recent the software is. I also prefer dnf to apt.

I really wanted it to work. I too enjoy trying out new versions of software but I never got to experience what Fedora has to offer.

I have went back and forth from Ubuntu to fedora and literally never had an issue. Same for dist upgrades. Right now I only use fedora, and like you, I too am a power user that can't be bothered to deal with os shenanigans.
