I've run Fedora for many years; I think my first install was Fedora 22. Pro: my distro looks good, is easy to manage and never feels dated. Con: stuff breaks. I'm still annoyed about the time Fedora reconfigured the DNS resolution service of systems and I lost Internet for a few days until I could figure out what the hell is going on.

I just ran away from Fedora. I was running Fedora server, and my files were depopulating on my podman containers. Xml files still existed, but were BLANK. Strange behavior.

And then I was running kinoite on my main gaming rig, and the wifi driver just stopped working. No amount of tinkering fixed it.

I've gotten debian on my server, though that's ongoing. Once the server is up, I think I'm going back to Arch on my main. They may have ticked me off with that grub thing last year, but prior to that it was smooth as silk.
