• Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  

• Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Not a single time as far as I can remember. I tried a few others from the top ten distros and only Ubuntu was more or less comparable to it. Other distros may glitch from time to time, or often, may have very outdated kernel which prevents to work my new laptop wifi, e.g. or other software which is way old. Fedora is very reliable and solid from inside, and slick outside. Easy to install and update. Was this review helpful?

EndeavorOS, Garuda, MX Linux - unstable driver problems. Fedora KDE Spin - the best I've found, all drivers easy to find and install, works stable and fast. Booting is a bit slower than Arch or Ubuntu-based distributions, but acceptable. I use it as a basic system in my daily work. Thanks to Fedora, I stopped jumping around distributions - and finally found the best one that was right for me. I chose and recommend KDE Spin because I don't like GNOME... it lacks many elements of customizing the system to your needs. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 39 Rating: 3 Date: 2024-01-17 Votes: 0 I have to admit that I'm still sad about my time spent with Fedora 39. I have used Fedora for the last 10 years and never has it been such a mess. This is the first time that I actually lost files I had on my laptop. It completely crashed after an update and took down the entire system so hard that it became unable to boot. After this dissaster, I installed Silverblue and I'm not happy at all. Slow and still shipping handicaped Firefox without codecs with numerous unnecessary apps out of the box. I finally switched to openSUSE Aeon as a result. It's just a better system that Silverblue. Suggestions for Silverblue: - abolish your version of Firefox and provide the one from Flathub with full codecs, - remove unnecessary bloat (numerous GNOME apps and Boxes), - trim down the running services... battery life is not great, - rpm-ostree is waaaaay slower that transactional-update, - replace toolbx with distrobox. It's on a whole new level of excellence. Overall, 3 out of 10. I'll stay on openSUSE: Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 301 reader reviews of Fedora...
