Fedora took away one of my biggest hobbies namely distro hopping. It’s so good i haven’t installed another Linux for 4+ years. Before fedora I would never use a distro for more than a couple of months. It’s beautiful, it’s solid and it’s vanilla. Everything is shipped as the original developer intended.
I never use “derivative” distros. I don’t want to run into weird problems and spend hours troubleshooting only to find out they have changed some config file.
I’ve been using KDE on Fedora for work for a few years now. Several system upgrades staeting from Fedora 36. Recently upgraded to plasma 6 and fedora 40. It is rock solid and very reliable.
And i do use alot of widgets, 3rd party apps, flatpaks, etc.
