Red Hat stops all upstream and downstream work on desktop Bluetooth, multimedia applications (namely totem, rhythmbox and sound-juicer) and libfprint/fprintd (hadess.net)

    This was my thought exactly. Work is a RHEL shop and I had settled on Fedora after distro hopping. Ubuntu was for the new guys getting into Linux.

    My self hosted services were all CentOS and more recently Rocky/Alma. After the shenanigans RH pulled to make their source harder to obtain, I’m working through my personal ansible scripts to get up on Debain. I’ll never go back to RHEL or the forks.

      Fedora is freaking amazing. Fresh & stable software, super clean UI, huge community…

      Debian has stable but old software (kernel and packages), clean UI, huge community. But it’s harder to use, since you have to make a few more manual steps to leave it at where Fedora comes as default.

      Fedora will always have a place as long as Red Hat stops shitting on it.

        I don’t mind the old kernel, packages, etc. However, one of my biggest problems with debain so far is that SELinux isn’t installed by default… I’ve installed and enabled it but it doesn’t seem to let me SSH in. I’m still troubleshooting but its annoying to have to fight with it.

        I’d love to continue to use Fedora but I have no faith in RedHat. They don’t give a shit about their community anymore, including Fedora, so I believe its just a matter of time before that’s dead too.
