Eh, I've been around the block at this point. Fedora ftw. Simple, easy, GUI installer, "just works"™️, sane package manager, normie default DEs, stable, corporate backing. Maybe not for a purist or enthusiast, but I don't have time for that stuff anymore anyways. My days of pouring hours into getting my Arch install just right are long past me. That was for when I still had free time.

Except you have to wait 5 seconds before it goes brrrr because of snaps.

You can turn them off, but good luck keeping firefox up to date.

Or just use Waterfox or LibreWolf?

Ah yes, vendor lock-in in desktop linux.

I don't get why anyone thinks this is acceptable in any way.

Yikes, I forgot about the All-Snap Ubuntu Desktop!

Man, why do people hate apt so much? Maybe because I'm a filthy casual but I never really had any big problems with apt.
