1 • About translations... (by Lakines on 2024-09-23 01:24:41 GMT from France)
It may be a nice contribution (instead of giving money when we don't have much) to help translating some less popular software and distributions.
Weblate website has a lot of projects and many languages are not even half translated, and suggestions can be added anonymously (without an account). Also, most distributions allow contributors after creating an account on other tools like Transifex.
Even few minutes a day can really help many people that are not fluent in English/Chinese, like half the world population!
2 • Fedora (by mcellius on 2024-09-23 01:34:23 GMT from United States)
I have nothing against Fedora, but I'm not interested in trying the next version or any of it's spins. I've installed it and tried it quite a few times, but I figure it's no longer for me. I used to distro-hop a lot and tried every new thing that came out, but after so much testing I've settled on a distro with which I feel comfortable that is stable and does everything I need and want.
I love Linux feel very happy with it. For me, the endless search for the "right" distro is over, and the raw bleeding edge just doesn't interest me.

4 • Expirion 6.0 and Dotfiles (by Vinfall on 2024-09-23 01:44:12 GMT from Hong Kong)
Expirion looks more like a "custom build" than a polished distro (which is fine by itself, albeit a bit confusing). And now their SourceForge page runs like "So what sets this apart from Devuan, not much really the Kernel and LibreOffice has been updated, and some minor software changes, but that is about it". The confusion is solved.
As for dotfiles, backup tools definitely work great and everyone knows how to use them. If you need more power, you can try "sophisticated" solutions like GNU Stow or git (therefore chezmoi). There are also many programs live long enough to arrogantly ignore XDG Base Directory Specification and get away with it, so sometimes you should also take care about home directories other than .config & .local/share. That being said, if you hardly reinstall your system or seldom need to replicate configuration on other machines, you probably do not want it.
5 • Fedora (by Name (mandatory) on 2024-09-23 01:47:37 GMT from United States)
No Fedora for me.
6 • dotfiles in git (by SomeMuppetOnTheInternet on 2024-09-23 01:59:14 GMT from Australia)
Using git to manage my dotfiles across dozens of machines with different distros has changed my life for the better, though I certainly would NOT recommend this approach to folks who aren't already comfortable with git as it's a nightmare to learn and way over-complicated for this usecase alone. I have a dotfiles repo and a single declarative-style pure .sh script which creates symlinks in ~ and .config as relevant. It's simple to maintain. It feels like magic.
7 • Fedora (by AlexZ on 2024-09-23 02:06:14 GMT from United States)
I'm test-driving Aurora (Bluefin with KDE) and I'm liking it so far. I'm planning to switch to Aurora from Fedora Workstation. Fedora let me down when I installed KDE desktop, but the next release upgrade broke KDE completely forcing me to go back to GNOME.
8 • Happy Fedora Workstation User (by InvisibleInk on 2024-09-23 02:33:06 GMT from United States)
Happy Fedora user here. Fedora is mature and stable now. Upgrades from previous version to latest version are safe and smooth. Software is current and up-to-date. It's all good.
Cheers
9 • Fedora Kinoite (by Elcaset on 2024-09-23 03:38:06 GMT from United States)
Kinoite is the spin of Fedora I'm most interested in. It's immutable, & uses the KDE Plasma desktop.
10 • MX Linux 23.4 (by Kleer Kut on 2024-09-23 05:09:32 GMT from United States)
The link in the announcement for Fluxbox 64bit links to the 32bit version and automatically downloads. Didn't pay close attention and had to get the right one. Just a small heads up in case someone else has an issue or has a data limit.
11 • Fedora Based Distros On The Rise (by MrDazmo on 2024-09-23 05:31:19 GMT from United States)
I've been a long time Debian user but I've been looking for something more up to date that runs a more recent kernel so I can run on new hardware. Tried Ultramarine Budgie Edition (a Fedora based distro) and was quite happy, Right now though I'm testing the newest official Budgie Fedora Spin and I think it will be staying as my daily driver, and maybe soon my server too. I really like the Atomic edition, but with no ZFS support I'll be sticking to either Ultramarine or Budgie Fedora Spin for now. Also I really have to shout to the Budgie team for making an amazing DE, wish Debian would show them some love.
12 • Fedora editions (by user on 2024-09-23 06:57:50 GMT from Bulgaria)
I am interested to try Fedora Workstation 41, just to confirm to myself that my selection of Ubuntu 24.10 Gnome 47 is much better. Ubuntu with ZFS rocks!
13 • In which edition of Fedora are you most interested? (by borgio3 on 2024-09-23 07:50:42 GMT from Italy)
None
14 • Fedora (by Pumpino on 2024-09-23 07:53:44 GMT from Australia)
@2 Which distro did you settle on?
I've got Xubuntu, Ubuntu Cinnamon, Mint, LMDE, Fedora and Manjaro installed across various machines. I'm currently using Xubuntu as my primary distro.
15 • Fedora interest (by Hank on 2024-09-23 08:12:44 GMT from Germany)
Nil, tried it some time ago, experience was underwhelming to say the least.
Never will go back.

Century to a kind of destruction:
17 • Fedora (by Gary W on 2024-09-23 08:43:31 GMT from Australia)
Pity the poll didn't have an option 'No Fedora for me'. So I can't vote. Interesting to see how many respondents this poll has, compared to more diverse poll questions.
18 • Fedora (by Ed on 2024-09-23 09:12:16 GMT from Sweden)
I started my journey with Mint and stayed there several years. Then i tried Xubuntu and Lubuntu and then Debian Stable.I used Debian Stable for a long time, longer than I used Mint.
Then I bought new hardware that wasnt supported well on Debian Stable. I installed Fedora Xfce. I was fairly sceptical because when in the past I had tried Fedora it hasnt impressed me, especially concerning reliability.I thought Fedora would be a temporary solution and that I would return to Debian Stable as soon as the next stable release came out.
I slowly realised that Fedora was in fact very reliable and despite several version upgrades it continued to be so. So I am still on Fedora and dont see myself returning to Debian Stable.
19 • Fedora (by uz64 on 2024-09-23 10:00:29 GMT from United States)
I'm interested in literally *any* Fedora spin that is not the GNOME-based "Workstation" variant. I can't stand GNOME, and literally every "spin" is better than their flagship.
20 • Fedora (by James on 2024-09-23 10:05:16 GMT from United States)
I also have no interest in Fedora, tried it and moved on.
21 • Fedora (by Appalachian on 2024-09-23 10:07:37 GMT from United States)
I have no plans to run Fedora in the near future. Fedora itself runs well enough, but updating it is a pain in the neck. And that's a problem for me, because while it isn't Arch, Fedora pushes a lot of updates.
I don't know if it's the rpm package format, the dnf updater, the servers, or some combination of the above. All I know is that it is painfully slow. I can search for, download, and install packages on Debian and Arch faster than I can even search for them on Fedora. I tried all the tricks to speed up dnf, but they didn't improve things much.
22 • Fedora (by oswald on 2024-09-23 10:08:47 GMT from United Kingdom)
Fedora 40 KDE is working great for me. I'll switch to Fedora 41 when Plasma 6.2 is available.
23 • Fedora (by Josh on 2024-09-23 10:27:10 GMT from United States)
Another vote for no interest at all in Fedora. Give me Debian or LMDE, and I'm happy.
24 • Poll (by dragonmouth on 2024-09-23 10:47:15 GMT from United States)
You left out the 'NONE' option.
25 • expirion (by rhtoras on 2024-09-23 10:53:39 GMT from Greece)
Hello Jesse and thanks for reviewing expirion linux Devuan edition. I've tried expirion in the past (Devuan edition of course :)
I found expirion quite similar to Devuan but a tad slower if i am not mistaken ? I am not sure because Devuan is blazing fast. Refracta installer is easy to use and ...just works. Simple options and intuitive interface. If i want something beyon ext filesystems i can use Devuan net installer or install a Devuan based distro from command line. I think you could show us Crowz or Fluxuan for a different Devuan based os because we rarely see calamares, JWM and Fluxbox polished. I think you have showed Fluxuan if i am not mistaken but i am not sure.
If it's to show us a distro you can show us AgarimOS which is based on Void and is preconfigured and quite simplified. A lot people are scared of void and this might help them.
A nice (or niche shall i say ?!) distribution is fatdog 64
(nosystemD). It's not puppy althought it has it's roots back to the puppy linux. You can review this in the next episode. I liked when i tried it. And not many distros are shipped with minimum profit text editor or two clicks away from installing chrome.
26 • Fedora 41 (by César on 2024-09-23 11:33:11 GMT from Chile)
Buenos días.
I use Fedora Workstation 40 (installation via server edition, because have more options to configure) in my HP laptop, works really fine and faster, the only problem is the battery life (drinks energy like my Durango V8 drinks fuel), but in the other hand, works really fast and stable.
Saludos desde Santiago de Chile.
27 • Fedora 41 spins (by Gerardo on 2024-09-23 11:52:36 GMT from Italy)
@19
Fedora KDE spin is particularly interesting. More responsive than GNOME. Want something similar to Synaptic? There is dnfdragora and dnfdragora-updater. Want to uninstall software? With DNF you avoid deleting shared libraries and all other software will continue to run normally. Want Wayland? KDE spin works well on Wayland.
28 • Fedora (by pepa65 on 2024-09-23 12:07:16 GMT from Thailand)
Tried Fedora close to 2 decades ago, but since it's rpm-based, it didn't last long. Simply no interest now. For the desktop I'm happy on Linux Mint's Mate spin.
29 • Fedora (by twodogs on 2024-09-23 12:25:32 GMT from United States)
Not interested.
30 • Fedora (by Friar Tux on 2024-09-23 13:37:55 GMT from Canada)
I'm with the "No Thanks" crowd. It was the very first distro I tried (around 2004, I think), and it scared me back to MSWindows. I've tried it off and on over the years but found it consistently breaks. I DID read somewhere that it was RedHat's lab rat, to experiment on, so I dropped it. Haven't actually touched it in the last ten years. Also, I don't want to use anything that the mother-ship can suddenly cancel (like they did with CentOS).
31 • @18 Fedora (by Linux Revolution on 2024-09-23 14:27:02 GMT from United States)
Very similar journey. I was mainly a DEB distro user. Zorin for a few years. My one must have in a distro is the ability to seamlessly upgrade. For the last 4 years or so, I've settled on fedora. fedora is not like it once was in the early 2000's. In terms of ease of use, workflow, configuration, it is on par with the *buntus. Fedora checks the stability, upgradability, cutting edge (but not bleeding edge), latest kernel, checkboxes. All while remaining stable. My one and only concern about fedora is being connected to RedHat (IBM). I no longer have trust in RedHat and IBM.
fedora has been nothing short of excellent so far.
32 • Fedora (by David on 2024-09-23 15:20:46 GMT from United Kingdom)
Fedora (version 1) was the first Linux I installed myself. I fled to CentOS when Fedora adopted Gnome 3 and I can't envisage ever going back.
33 • Fedora Silverblue and Universal Blue/Blue-Build (by CorpSouth on 2024-09-23 16:57:24 GMT from United States)
I've been using a custom image based on Fedora Silverblue for a while now. I had initially used Silverblue through the official install ISO, now I'm using the tools and resources available I've put together a specifically modified variant using vanilla GNOME, plus some helpful additions and subtractions to adjust things exactly how I want them to be.
34 • Fedora (by GreinNC on 2024-09-23 19:21:45 GMT from United States)
Strange there was no option saying not interested in any. One must wonder if there is a reason for that choice being left out.
35 • Fedora spinning in circles (by Europe on 2024-09-23 19:22:14 GMT from France)
I have voted / workstation. But honestly, I have no interest in Fedora at all. Zero.
There is many distributions-operating - systems, I have no interest in.
Fedora is one of them..
(There is one Fed. Based i did like to use. And it was Nobara L.
Hmm. I departed from that to.. Go figure. What a mystery that is..)
36 • My distro journey (by RJA on 2024-09-23 19:56:36 GMT from United States)
2002=I tried Mandrake 8.1 and I was back to Windows 98 SE so fast! Because, lots of hardware wasn't supported, of course.
2005=Finally got to get Ubuntu, even when on a 56K modem, LOL. It was an external-serial 56K modem, of course. 2008=I was happy with Intrepid Ibex and just a major struggle with installing the software I wanted.
2010=This was when I tried Gentoo, which has excellent documentation and got it successfully installed. Arch, on the other hand, which I tried early that year, required me to play "mirrorlist musical chairs", some mirrors had the required files that another mirror didn't have, and vice-versa! I had to keep changing the servers in the mirrorlist, just to complete the install of KDE! That left me a bad taste in my mouth!
Then in the very-early-2010s or shortly after, I tried SliTaz and it was excellent!

37 • Fedora (by Robert on 2024-09-23 21:23:10 GMT from United States)
Not particularly interested in Fedora. I'm happy on Arch and don't see myself leaving any time soon.
BUT - strictly speaking the poll says "most" interested. So if I was forced to use Fedora, I would pick either the KDE spin or Sway spin.
38 • Fedora (by RJA on 2024-09-23 22:58:01 GMT from United States)
About Fedora? Well, I have been trying Nobara, because I'm a gamer as well, so I still got stuff to test out. It's the only Fedora-based distro I ever booted.
-Randy James Anderson
39 • Where's the "I'm not interested in any edition of Fedora" option? (by Zed on 2024-09-24 01:03:35 GMT from United States)
Nuff said.
40 • UKUI (by Arve Eriksson on 2024-09-24 01:31:14 GMT from Sweden)
About UKUI... I've seen it before, but I don't quite remember where. Was it some middleware on my Huawei phone, maybe? I remember something about Android updates through a possibly UKUI-branded tool...
(About Fedora: I'll cheer for 'em, but the distribution as a whole just isn't my jazz.)
41 • Fedora (by Simon Wainscott-Plaistowe on 2024-09-24 03:20:01 GMT from New Zealand)
Hmmm... well this week I didn't vote because there's not an option for "not interested in Fedora". Happy with Mint for my desktop and LibreELEC for my multimedia box. Servers are another story but still no Fedora involved.
42 • @25 AgarimOS (by GT on 2024-09-24 08:07:42 GMT from United States)
It is stated on the official AgarimOS project page:
"Please do not submit to DW."
43 • agarimOS (by rhtoras on 2024-09-24 09:52:10 GMT from Greece)
@42 Yes this is correct but to be more specific i was talking for a review not a submission. The dev of agarimOS doesn't clarify which one he means (submission, review or both).
On the other hand crowz os is a nice project to review. If i remember correct it was present on Distrowatch but i am not sure.
44 • CROWZ distro (by Jesse on 2024-09-24 11:22:42 GMT from Canada)
@43: "On the other hand crowz os is a nice project to review. If i remember correct it was present on Distrowatch but i am not sure."
Yes, CROWZ is on DistroWatch and has been reviewed in this space:

45 • Fedora (by penguinx86 on 2024-09-24 12:12:48 GMT from United States)
I like the idea of Fedora Silverblue. But the reason I don't use it is because of the Gnome desktop environment. How about something else besides Gnome, like maybe Xfce or LXQt?
46 • Fedora opinion poll (by Gennaro on 2024-09-24 14:35:09 GMT from Italy)
@34
"Strange there was no option saying not interested in any. One must wonder if there is a reason for that choice being left out."
It is understandable that many are not interested in Fedora (although it drives the entire Linux development). But this week's poll question should be interpreted as:
‘if you were forced to use Fedora, which version would you install?'
47 • Fedora poll (by Jesse on 2024-09-24 14:42:39 GMT from Canada)
@46: "But this week's poll question should be interpreted as:
‘if you were forced to use Fedora, which version would you install?'
Alternatively, and perhaps more accurately, you could interpret the poll to read: We're going to be reviewing an edition of Fedora 41 in a couple of weeks. Which one would our readers prefer to hear about?
We're going to be test driving some flavour of Fedora, so "none" isn't an applicable answer.
48 • Reading Comprehension (by Friar Tux on 2024-09-24 15:55:59 GMT from Canada)
@47 (jesse) Not to worry Jesse, most of us read that right. I think the "No Fedora For Me" folks just got a wee too passionate.
49 • Fedora (by Jan on 2024-09-24 16:10:57 GMT from The Netherlands)
On my old hardware I found that Fedora WS gives a very smooth and snappy browser behaviour, better than Mint funny enough.
With Fedora-KDE the browser behaviour is a little less. Sad because the KDE-monitor-user-interface is more usable than that of Gnome.
50 • Fedora (by FreeBee on 2024-09-24 17:01:19 GMT from The Netherlands)
If you were forced to use Linux (in 2024), you'd take Gnome 47 and Fedora (aka Workstation) as anything else doesn't even deserve to be called "Operating System".
Thankfully nobody is getting forced and has free choice.
51 • Fedora (by g on 2024-09-24 17:16:48 GMT from United Kingdom)
@47: I kind of gathered that tho the thought that came to me was none of the above. For personal use, I've moved on from RH offerings, we've got RHEL at work. I started RHL 2.1 way back in '96 or so. Did a bit of Fedora Core until it became very tedious to run KDE stable and unstable versions on the same machine. I moved to OpenSuSE and stayed with the regular OpenSUSE offerings until 15.2 before switching to Tumbleweed. Stayed with that until my KDE/nVidia got b0rked, twice. I then installed Tumbleweed fresh on a new partition and ran with that until an update b0rked it again. I switched to KaOS and I'm still learning that. What really made me stop using Tumbleweed was the fact that updates would take hours using zypper. This on an AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor with 32GiB of RAM. Hard drive is a 1.82 TiB Samsung SSD 870, with a 238.47 GiB SAMSUNG SSD 830 and a 931.51 GiB WDC WD10EADS-00L for company. I do download the KDE spin but I've yet to try it.
52 • @46 Gennaro: (by dragonmouth on 2024-09-24 19:14:53 GMT from United States)
‘if you were forced to use Fedora, which version would you install?'
I would go back to Windows although the last version I used was XP. :) :) :)
53 • Fedora (by kc1di on 2024-09-24 21:00:27 GMT from United States)
I voted for Other spins as I like the KDE spin. Installed 41 beta and is working well.
So give it a spin.
54 • Fedora (by Otis on 2024-09-24 22:23:29 GMT from United States)
Nobara and Alma were two Fedora inspired distros that had my attention for a while. Fedora itself always seem clunky over the years. My first exposure to Linux was Fedora 5.2 decades ago.
So, "None of the above" would have been my choice in the poll.
55 • Almal/RHEL (by Otis on 2024-09-24 22:26:03 GMT from United States)
Alma isn't Fedora, of course, but in RHEL. I consider Red Hat and Fedora pretty close to the same. And, yes, that was Red Hat 5.2 decades ago. ;o)
56 • Fedora (by grindstone on 2024-09-25 00:50:08 GMT from United States)
Enthusiastically no Fedora.

59 • Fedora opinion poll (by Gradus on 2024-09-25 13:16:43 GMT from The Netherlands)
At the moment I see that only 46% would install Fedora GNOME, while a robust 40% are interested in one of the ‘spins’. I am biased, because I have always hated GNOME, but the numbers speak for themselves. Silverblue is also doing badly (11%)...
60 • @59 Fedora Gnome (by Jan on 2024-09-25 13:27:19 GMT from The Netherlands)
@59 Because Fedora Gnome is their flagship.
And my experience with Fedora-testing is that Fedora-WS (Gnome) get all the best attention.
That is with all distros, the flagship is the best and get the best maintenance, the rest (spins) lag behind.
61 • In which edition of Fedora are you most interested? (by Petar on 2024-09-25 16:19:07 GMT from United Kingdom)
You missed the "I'm not interested in Fedora at all" option, where the most voting would go.
62 • Fedora KDE (by David on 2024-09-25 19:28:40 GMT from United States)
Given that it used to be one of two alternatives along with GNOME when Fedora Core started in 2003, given that the term "flagship" did not apply back then, and given that it now is relegated to a "spin" in the bafflingly huge and confusing Fedora warehouse of specialty versions, I would like to see a review of Fedora 41 KDE.
63 • @ 62 by David (by David on 2024-09-25 19:34:55 GMT from United States)
Never mind. I see you reviewed it in April. Virtually.
64 • Fedora 41 KDE (by Cobe on 2024-09-25 20:38:33 GMT from France)
@62
I would like to see a review of Fedora 41 KDE, also because it is one of the few spins that use Wayland by default.
65 • 61 has it right (by Clarence Perry on 2024-09-25 23:17:41 GMT from United States)
You left off the critical answer: None of the Fedoras
I would have selected it instead of ignoring all of the selections.
66 • No Interest in Fedora (by Frank Newburn on 2024-09-26 00:03:29 GMT from United States)
When I started out using Linux on New Years Day of 2000, I flipped a coin to decide: Red Hat or Mandrake. Mandrake won the toss and I have had Mandrake-based OS's as my main daily driver ever since.
Oh, I have distrohopped for the first 15 years but always went back to Mandrake (PCLinuxOS) because it always worked. And have PCLinuxOS on a dedicated hard drive and testing other OS on other hard drives.
I'm recently retired and 70 years old and looking for some adventure so I downloaded and installed FreeBSD14.1 with KDE. Success! Lately, I have been looking at Solaris.
I'm just not interested in Fedora, it just doesn't look inviting to me for some odd reason I can't explain.
67 • Fedora (by Bob on 2024-09-26 00:30:36 GMT from United States)
Comments: My interests are the A/V and content creation Studio type distros. Run Ubuntu Studio as my daily driver even. Also run or keep tabs on Fedora Jam and AV Linux and others like those.
68 • Fedora (by Andy Prough on 2024-09-26 01:46:43 GMT from Switzerland)
@47 - >"We're going to be test driving some flavour of Fedora, so "none" isn't an applicable answer. "
I'm not interested in Fedora at all, but if you reviewed the Fedora Sway spin I would like your viewpoint on the Sway window manager.
But, based on the poll results you'll probably be reviewing the Gnome workstation spin, which I don't have any interest in. Rather unfortunate, at least Sway would be something a bit different.
69 • Fedora (by distrospinner on 2024-09-26 02:25:20 GMT from United States)
Fedora spins are just different DEs, but it has a good selection of specialist "lab" editions. Prefer the Security one (it's mostly pentesting, but has some security & rescue apps,) Fedora is stable, snappy, and pragmatic in its default app selection.
70 • Fedora opinion poll (by Bill on 2024-09-26 16:13:33 GMT from The Netherlands)
It seems that only 45% of those interested in Fedora use the Workstation. There is food for thought.
71 • Fedora (by humaniod on 2024-09-27 12:54:57 GMT from United Kingdom)
I'm not interested in Fedora. I have it on all my laptops, it just works and keeps out of my way.
Nothing else seems to do that.
I feel many distributions are used as a visible litmus test to prove look at me I'm a Linux maestro, I use such a complicated frustrating operating system I must be intelligent, yet I cant get it to connect to my HP printer/scanner....
72 • For those who dislike GNOME on Fedora Workstation (by InvisibleInk on 2024-09-27 15:28:15 GMT from United States)
Look, if you don't care for the latest GNOME desktop environment on Fedora Workstation, you can always select "GNOME Classic" instead. Problem solved! No need to look elsewhere, unless you really prefer KDE, XFCE, or something else, to GNOME Classic.

Ubuntu
Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.
