I am just curious why people stay on old versions of Fedora like say
FC30 instead of upgrading to 31?

Upgrading Fedora is a bit like "installing Win10" updates.

That said, I usually wait for a couple of weeks before upgrading, because new Fedora releases tend to suffer from pretty nasty bugs or changes, which often get fixed or at least documented in the early phases after a release.


VETO !!!

I installed (upgraded to) F31 when it was Beta and used it for daily use.
I'm not sure, but I mean I did so with F30.

I do nothing special on my box, but all needs to run and it did (at least in the past)


Win10 or general Win up{d,gr}ate is a russian roulette with default 5 (!) bullets.

And with Win10 M$ loads your gun again and again, every 6 month you'll get new bullets, maybe 6 this time. [1]

"Good night and good luck".


Even while Fedora documents their bugs your comparison is invalide.


M$ declares their Beta's as release (and on top of it they want to get paid (Money, private data).

Fedora declares their beta's as beta's and they are - maybe not for everyone - useable as release.

that's just my view over the last ~ 20 years.

your mileage may vary...


[1]
cause I'm not convinced M$ is able to calculate (apart dollars):

try to calculate 2 x 4 + 1 x 4 with their buildin calculator (win7, 8.1, 10 ?) !

=> 36

the answer of all questions ! :-)
