Fedora's really nice. Try it~

Alternately, I could shill for NixOS. It's also really nice. Eventually.

Note that Fedora has an immutable version of the OS that's similar in intent to NixOS. It's called Fedora Silverblue.

I've tried it. And while I'm not sure why, its updater never worked for me -- hung while downloading, I think, but there was no feedback.

Honestly, I prefer NixOS. It's far more configurable, which is a nice thing to have in an immutable OS.

yes, I tried Ubuntu briefly in 2006 before switching to the Fedora/EL ecosystem since then. Fedora seems to have won every "battle" so far (systemd vs upstart, gnome-shell vs. unity, etc.)
