Why are you choosing Fedora over Mint or vice versa? What distro do you use and why?

    After lots of distro-hopping, using arch for many years, I switched to Fedora and never looked back. I just want things to work, and fixing little issues gets boring really quickly, so I stopped using arch.

    I’ve been using Pop_OS for the last several years (both work and home machines). I just want something that I can install my IDEs and Steam on with a few clicks. I spend enough time building containers and managing services at work, don’t want to put in more effort at home. If I was more of a hobbyist, I’d probably dive into something arch based.

    Mint cuz of the ecosystem and compatability, my only major issue with it was the outdated drivers, but I installed the kisak Mesa PPA and was off to the races :D. Mint also has really good flatpak integration so you basically get everything a normal soy user like me needs 😜

    No-one is mentioning NixOS, which is strange. My next install will be Nix, I’m currently on EndeavourOS.

    I currently use Fedora Silverblue, mainly because of the easy rollback, and because it makes package management easier. I like having a default base to add and remove from (and being able to easily rebase onto a different spin). That said, regular Fedora and Mint are both solid distros.
