I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

This is my answer as well. As an American, I have trust issues with Fedora being both US based and IBM owned now. That said, Fedora has been a very good OS and more reliable than Mint/Ubuntu with regards to cutting edge stuff, like VR support, drivers, and Wayland. Debian/Ubuntu/Mint and other derivatives may be ol' reliable for servers, but as a desktop, it's too "vintage" to keep pace with modern stuff, and I've had more problems with trying to get new stuff to run on them.

What's "vintage" for you?
