Red Hat employee and many of us use Fedora as our daily driver. Although, I do tend to try out other distros as well.

[jesse]

I use Fedora, and have for the past several years. I have distro-hopped a lot, but I consistently keep coming back to Fedora. It is the best. Nice video!

[stranded_mariner]

I switched to fedora 37 and on 39 now, never looked back, love it.

Fedora is not 'owned' by Red Hat; however, it is sponsored by Red Hat.

[specthanatos]

I was distro hopping for a good year or 2. After using Fedora, I never switched again. What a fantastic Linux distro <3.

[lzcoder]

Fedora is developed by Fedora Project that is sponsored by Red Hat.

Fedora is my main distro right now, seems quite stable to me. The installer was also super easy and very intuitive.

[kierandansey]

Fedora is the sweet spot of; stable with decently up to date packages, sensible defaults and minimal fuss. The only major criticism I have is the installer is poor in comparison to other installers (eg Ubuntu). It would also be nice if they included a theme/accent color switcher like Ubuntu does. It is a solid distro and I change very little when installing it.

[arnehoffmeister]

Tried our many distros and was on Arch for quite some time. But after switching to Fedora 39 Xfce I feel I can finally settle down. It just works!

Fedora is not Bleeding edge, it is cutting edge. There's a difference. Bleeding Edge is Manjaro, cutting edge is more tested than just here you go the latest and greatest.

[archivariusdee]

Fedora is really polished.
Don't listen to all this RedHat haters.

[kolzever]

Been using fedora full time for most of the year straight. Absolutely enjoy it big time and don't see myself ever changing it unless something major happened to make me do so. it's simple to use and it's more up to date than debian based distros. Got Gnome and kde on wayland working perfectly fine on my pc. Even when I went to beta 39 everything was just as smooth as 38. No reason to distro hop at all again since everything i need is right here and whatever else can be added. I never once had any set of updates take 5 minutes though. I update all the time though so I am not sure why that would happen to anyone. I usually take a guess that someone is on an outdated 20 year old laptop as with usual with linux people but if not then no idea since I update in moments.

"The majority of Linux users use Arch"
A common misconception due to how many times Arch users say they use Arch compared to every other distro saying they use their distro of choice. Arch is a popular distro, but I would be genuinely surprised if it is even in the top ten.

fedora silverblue user here.
I usually say that I use it as a personal challenge. Last time I tried to install plexserver on my silverblue. had to learn systemd, podman and containers, and a masters degree in linux permissions. Still haven't manage to do it. In any other system? point and click an installer.

[jimjamreal]

I believe GPU Screen Recorder does have a working Flatpak, the official site has some instructions under the line
"Note that if you want to record your monitor on AMD/Intel then you need to install the flatpak system-wide, like so:", so if Flatpaks are preferable thats one way to go! The immutability when it comes to Silverblue looks really appealing, so the more Flatpaks we can use the better!

[lsdowdle]

I started with RHL 3... up through 9... then Fedora 1 through 39 now. Wouldn't change a thing.

[alexcerzea]

Fedora have the best out of most linux distros, latest and greatest packages, with the stability of an LTS

[experticus]

also, thanks for this. I didn't really watch far in I'm at like 2:47 but this is the reason I decided f*ck it. I'm gonna run Fedora now.

[JTCPingas]

Fedora is not bleeding edge. Leading edge is the more correct term.

[jonl]

Great video, thanks for the info. Just installed Fedora XFCE as my main daily driver last week. I was looking for some other information about it and this was great.
