![]() And it's true, they do, just like RedHat uses Fedora to betatest for RHEL. So, the guy ditched Ubuntu for Fedora because he felt that Canonical uses Ubuntu users as testers. deb and flatpak alternatives).Īnd let's just look on this article specifically. How firefox snap is shit (I'm writing it from snapped firefox and it works perfectly and faster that. Or horror stories about snaps that are not valid for many months already. Like many years old story about Amazon deal (even when it was valid you had to write a single command to remove integration). I've never seen so much articles how someone had to abandon Ubuntu for Fedora/Arch before.Īnd the most curious thing that the reasons provided are usually very outdated. In the last few months it really looks like someone payed for a web campaign against Canonical/Ubuntu. Hope to be able to run aarch64-native Linux VMs on Mac OS for development. ![]() Personally, I'm in the process of completely transitioning to Mac OS which I've always used on and off since 2003. IMO using Fedora is just wasting your time alpha-testing RH's enterprise offerings, like CentOS is nowadays. RH definitely won't save the Linux desktop, they've abandoned any commercial interest/offering in that space many years ago. Doesn't help there haven't been new high profile desktop apps for ages either. More than any single point of criticism in isolation, it's the feeling of a dying platform (for desktop) past its peak. Ubuntu was very good in 2012 and actually great in 2016 with first class support by manufacturers (Dell, Lenovo) and commercial sw vendors (MS), great launcher/shell app (Unity) but IMO has had too many regressions: broken power management, touchpad, crappy container software just to run the same old software, broken notifications, barebone yet dysfunctional GUIs pointlessly wasting space on notebooks (gnome/gtk 3+), non-competitive power efficiency despite intrusive Windows-y system management monolith challenging the size of the Linux kernel itself and requiring frequent updates (systemd), focus on developer frameworks rather than users (Wayland), yet still multiple/HiDPI monitor support not great either. I'm very likely going to run Fedora on a Framework 16 when the time comes to replace my MacBook. DNF is slow as molasses, though, but otherwise Fedora was straightforward to install and use daily for development. They both are one click, enter password, wait, then ready. Flatpaks more or less "just works" for me, and I can hardly tell the difference between Flatpaks and "native packages" on GNOME Software. There are no quirks added to the desktop environment besides a little Fedora watermark. I also like how Fedora is able to just get out of my way. I disliked GNOME 3, but the GNOME 40 interface is a huge improvement. But Fedora 36 more or less "just worked". I also hear a lot of criticism about Flatpak. I always hear how Ubuntu nowadays makes a lot of questionable decisions, how Snaps are bad, and so on. I'm currently on a Mac, but at a past job I had to boot straight into a Linux VM, and Fedora was fantastic. I used it up until 2014 or so, then toured my way around Windows and Mac OS. ![]() I was first introduced to Linux with Ubuntu around 2009 - 2010.
