Two years into full-time Linux and I’m finally burning the distro-hopping cycle. I fell for the Arch/AUR trap for a while, but I got tired of spending my weekends debugging file manager crashes instead of maintaining my home lab.
Switched back to Fedora, and it’s boring in exactly the way I need it to be. It’s a stable launchpad for my projects, not the project itself.
There’s a reason Qubes ships with fedora and Debian.
Fedora is a bit lighter weight, so I leave it as the default for most of my service VMs.
But my main workstations mostly use Debian. I find it has more software options.
