Hello fellow linuxers

I am kinda confused as to why certain Linux distros are mentioned in in every others post while others seems to get litten attention or are being bashed at worst. People advertise for Mint because it’s so easy to use, while I personally miss it’s benefits over Ubuntu.

Personally I used KDE Neo for some time and switched to Fedora 42 a few weeks ago. It has all the same tools as basically every other distros. What is missed is not necessary or available. I can also seamlessly manage my proxmox server through ssh and fish and take up minor programming tasks on python or arduino.

Am I missing something important, or just seeing a loud minority with very specific requir?

    They do for some time now, at least on both workstation and silverblue you get prompted on the first boot and a reminder after a while on gnome-software

      I’ve installed fedora thrice last year, and each time, I’ve had to enable rpm fusion in the terminal and download ffmpeg to get youtube to work. This is something that can’t be fixed afaik, because it’s a copyright issue.
