Hey #Fedora users

Why?

Not snarky or sarcastic, just curious - when I decided to really get into this OS, I tried out a bunch and landed on #Ubuntu eventually, and that was solidified when I landed in a job that involved Blender, whose build instructions at the time were Debian/Ubuntu based.

Stayed there for a good long time, but their "Pro" pivot and their shenanigans with pushing Snap packages into Apt pissed me off enough that I went back to #Debian, which is still my Server OS, while I'm still deciding whether to stick with #NixOS on my desktop/laptops. It has a number of things I really like about it, it is probably permanently going to be on my music and other types of media machines, for reasons I have elucidated in previous GNU/Linux toots, and I'm pretty sure if I can push through a few more levels of it I will be fully satisfied. It also has a few irritants about it, though nothing that more community and contributors can't help.

Red Hat, well, I guess I look at them in the same way I looked at IBM PCs during the C64/Amiga era: it's the business OS, and therefore boring. The shenanigans with #CentOS put a very bad taste in my mouth, although, Hollywood had managed to get itself so bunged up that the "reference platform" reached EOL while nobody did doodly squat so it might even have been for the best that #RedHat violated their commitment and exploded it into irrelevance.

Anyways, I have briefly run bog standard Fedora a couple times, it never seemed at all bad, nor did it seem especially great, although, I was not apt enough to really do an in-depth comparison of current package versions or anything like that. I did stumble upon such a chart a little while back, but the only distros I was considering at the time were Nix Unstable and Debian Sid, and those two and #ArchLinux seem to maintain fairly close parity as far as that goes.

NixOS's ability to pick and choose from Stable and Unstable is pretty awesomesauce.

@jpaskaruk None of these words are in the Bible

@VirtuousVoyeur I have it on good authority (some AI chatbot) that they do appear in The Satanic Bible. It was confirmed by a researcher named (checks) Abraham Lincoln.
