    I’ve heard so many good things about fedora now. My “it just works” desktop distro that I have been using in the past has been Debian testing (because debian stable packages are often so old many pieces of software can’t run on the system because the minimum version of some dependencies are too high). Being on testing has some disadvantages, though and I remember that somehow apt uninstalled coreutils and some other important packages (I have no idea how that happened), which meant I needed to reinstall the system, and #debian on IRC simply told me I shouldn’t be on testing if I’m not fine with some bugs. It is also overall feels less polished than stable.

    Maybe I Fedora is more appropriate for me. I’ve stuck to Debian, because apt is the package manager I’m most familiar (and thus more comfortable) with, but maybe dnf will be easy to pickup.
