    I hear a lot of love for Fedora.

    Even though I happily run OpenSUSE Tumbleweed myself, I have run into the occasional “What the ever-loving heck” issue that I’ve had to stubbornly troubleshoot, and I worry that’d make some people run away crying.

    I have a family member with a really old laptop enjoying Mint, but my wife’s and my best buddy’s gaming PCs might be worth giving Fedora a shot on.

    Like me, they need those updated Nvidia drivers and Wayland, and honestly most importantly for familiarity + cool-new-thing factor: KDE plasma 6! ;)

      Fedora does this unfortunate thing, which I have not researched how to turn off yet. It will schedule a restart for you, and then just restart right in the middle of whatever you were doing, kind of like windows in that respect.

        That IS unfortunate o.O. How weird!

        Every other distro I’ve used has just been like “Hey, some of this stuff was system integral, recommend a restart when you feel like it. 👍”

      cool-new-thing factor: KDE plasma 6!

      I found the “Fall apart” option last week which makes windows explode into tiny bits when you close them. Never had so few lingering windows open in my life.
