I started using Linux desktops around 2012, and always used Debian-based distros (Mostly Debian, Ubunutu, and Mint).

I switched to Fedora this year, and I've been super pleasantly surprised. There are some sharp edges (Mostly due to Wayland and Flatpaks), but I don't think I'll be going back to Debian any time soon. Things seem way more stable than on Ubuntu.

That's really interesting. A problem I've been having with Ubuntu is just quirky things with bluetooth devices and a monitor that doesn't always get recognized when waking the pc up from sleep.

In your experience, does Fedora handle these better than Ubuntu?

I've been using Fedora since 2011, haven't had any monitor or bluetooth issues. Originally had a wifi issue when I first got a Ryzen computer, but it was solved fairly easily and haven't had an issue since. The upgrade from 42 to 43 borked my local postgres, but it seems that they understand what their mistake was there.

edit: I use it on a thinkpad, ymmv

This is literally why we suggest Fedora.

Bluetooth sucks on Debian-family because the kernel is from 2024... Fedora's kernel is from 3 months ago.

Anyway, enjoy Fedora. Fedora is so good, I won't call it Linux.
