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.

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

    Mint cuz of the ecosystem and compatability, my only major issue with it was the outdated drivers, but I installed the kisak Mesa PPA and was off to the races :D. Mint also has really good flatpak integration so you basically get everything a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

    I like the idea of immutable systems. They allow you to rollback updates/package installs, they break less often and it keeps the system away from the apps.

    I’ve never had an issue with it since I started to use it and I will probably never look back.

      If you like immutable systems, you might want to check out Fedora Kinoite if you haven’t already.

        I used kinoite before switching to uBlue Bluefin and it’s what made me like immutable systems a lot.

        I switched to it because I wanted to try it out, mainly because of the ubuntu-like desktop experience

    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.
