I was on Ubuntu for a year. No major issues, although I used the interim releases, which are supposed to be less solid than LTS. Then, a couple of months ago, I decided to switch to Fedora, just out of curiosity. Many people stated how Fedora is rock solid, Fedora is the new Ubuntu, etc. First some rpmfussion updates broke mesa, then the ostree update broke Flatpak, and recently there was a broken kernel 6.3.11 update that affected some AMD users. A few days ago, I updated my kernel to 6.3.12, and I got frequent freezes on boot. Other users are also reporting such issues. So now I boot with an older kernel. Which is not optimal. There is no LTS kernel on Fedora, the old kernel version doesn’t receive security updates. Was it always like that, or it’s an unusual bad phase.

    If you want to continue using Fedora try Kinoite or Silverblue. With their immutability and ease of rollback, I’ve really enjoyed using Fedora again.

      Fedora Silverblue is basically my ideal distro. Used it for the past two years on all my machines.

      Shame about the telemetry stuff and RHEL bullshit… Jumped to Debian 12 and haven’t looked back.
