I was on Ubuntu for a year. No major issues, although I used the interim releases, which are supposed to be less solid than LTS. Then, a couple of months ago, I decided to switch to Fedora, just out of curiosity. Many people stated how Fedora is rock solid, Fedora is the new Ubuntu, etc. First some rpmfussion updates broke mesa, then the ostree update broke Flatpak, and recently there was a broken kernel 6.3.11 update that affected some AMD users. A few days ago, I updated my kernel to 6.3.12, and I got frequent freezes on boot. Other users are also reporting such issues. So now I boot with an older kernel. Which is not optimal. There is no LTS kernel on Fedora, the old kernel version doesn’t receive security updates. Was it always like that, or it’s an unusual bad phase.
Rock solid on my 11-yo laptop that has been running fedora and updated every 6 months since I bought it in 2012.
I’ve always updated late in the fedora cycle - maybe that’s the go.
Yeah, I’ve been running Fedora since the first Fedora Core release. Only ever had an issue once, back on FC4 but was easily fixed. My current laptop is 8 years old and is solid. Only issue is rotating it causes airplane mode to turn on, so I don’t rotate it.
I only have problem with driver in Fedora, and nothing Else. Only Upgrade driver when needs to.
