Hello all, I’ve been distro hopping a lot lately and have a long term goal of settling on one distro for the family laptops.
Currently it’s a smattering of linux distro’s and some M$ across all the systems in the house.
In short the fam has had a pretty negative reaction to Gnome for all the usual reasons, so there is a kubuntu instance, Nobara, but the KDE version, Manjaro etc… I kind of want to give Fedora a stint on my laptop and noticed the Fedora spins project and was wondering if anyone has played around with it at all?
I spun up the KDE version in a VM alongside the default Fedora and noticed it’s running a newer kernel than the default, which is interesting…
Is it an equal partner in update cycles?
Seems like Fedora Kinoite is getting several votes. Maybe I’ll give that a go for myself. I also like the idea of Fedora more since they are starting to offer their own Laptops with pretty nice hardware it seems.
The idea of buying new laptops that all just have proper OS support seems, novel.
Good luck!
Oh that’s neat, I must have missed those news, were they announced anywhere?
I’m not sure where I ran across it, but here’s their site. Fedora slimbook
Awesome hardware, but damn, 1299€?
Guess I’ll be looking respectfully… from the sidelines (o.o )
Be careful with these containerized distros. I would read bit more before jumping into something not standard as of now. In particular, making changes to the root image by installing packages works a lot differently than good old Linux distros.
Otherwise Fedora’s KDE spin is quite good, too. They include a lot of extraneous packages, though.
