Re: Debian vs Fedora

I jump around a lot. I usually reinstall my OS every five or six months. I do it primarily as a security issue -- if my machine has been compromised and I don't know it, at least every few months I *know* I'm clean. What I've found is that the "pain" of installation varies from release to release, and is not a fedora/debian/arch/suse issue per se. I've had some cases where fedora installed like a dream and debian/mint/ubuntu had problems, some cases where debian installed easy and fedora crumped, and some cases where arch/manjaro was great and everything else had problems.

A few weeks ago, I went to Manjaro, not because I'm an Arch fan, but because I downloaded fedora, kubuntu, and KDE neon and it was the *only* one that installed without a problem. Before that, KDE neon installed without a hitch. Before that Fedora installed without a hitch.

In a few months, I'll do it again, and it will be a different distro that works...

Usually, I start with Fedora KDE spin, then try KDE neon, then try Manjaro, then try SUSE.

Hi, I switched from fedora to debian few years ago after about ten years of fedora distros usage and now happy with my linux boxes. The main reason was the pain I had at each new fedora release, the upgrade process to new versions often failed and I had to "rebuild" the offended machine(s). This is not acceptable (at least for me), no such pains with debian even if I'm not on the bleeding edge I have now a stable environment. I don't know if things are getting better with the last fedora releases, it will be nice to know. Fedora has been my favourite distro for at least a decade, I grow up my linux skills with it, but I had to leave it. Anyway I think that is up to you, it's your choice, take your time to explore other distros and think well of what you search in a linux distro, what your use cases will be, what you want to do with it. Have an open mind on making your choice :-)
