    Fedora with GNOME.

    I’ve been using it for over than 10 years in my main computer.

    It simply works, it’s nice, fresh packages, stable, GNOME is productivity champion (at least I know all the shortcuts, and how to tweak it to my daily use). I also know how to build and manipulate RPM packages, so it’s pretty convenient.

      I’ve been using Fedora for the last 5 years and never had to reinstall the OS. I’ve been upgrading with no issues whatsoever.

      With Ubuntu, I had to reinstall everything on every update because of errors. Not on EVERY update of course, but often enough to make me want to stick to LTSs.

        Does Fedora have a long term support version? Last time I used it a decade ago I had to upgrade every 1-2 years.

          No LTS, they support each version for 1 year, and there are two major upgrades per year. I still haven’t upgraded last October.

          But I never had an issue, I always upgraded using the terminal instead of the GUI.

      afaik, fedora is the testing distro for RHEL. I also felt this way, when a new gnome version released much earlier than for Arch and it had an obvious bug that could be catched with little testing.

      And many issues I found in Fedora’s bug tracker was auto closed by the new release. Which is quite frequent. Reviewing the bugs is not that frequent.
