Don't be too harsh on me :(
Can you un-meme me? How is Fedora for daily use? I love Debian because of stability and freedom and I am not a fan of rolling releases. However I don't like how the packages get old quickly on stable, and testing and unstable are not very ideal as a fix for that.
I would use Fedora but I have memed myself by reading a lot about how Fedora is actually not focused for regular users and is mostly just focusing on enterprise and development software (is that a RHEL conspiracy or not doesn't matter).
Debian is great because it doesn't seem to "take sides". You can do anything on it. While Fedora is advertised as a professional distro, even on their website.
So is that true? Is Fedora's professional fpcus just a meme?
>>61076994
There is no help for you. You are so deeply engraved into the meme buzzword world, there's no escape.
Hint: the defining features of a distribution are package manager, release schedule and software policy (patching and licenses). Everything else is the same.
I'll just address one of the countless idiocies and misconceptions in your post:
>You can do anything on it. While Fedora is advertised as a professional distro
That's the shit buzz phrase and only idiots falls for it. Hint: you use the same software on both.
Personally I ditched Fedora when networkmanager/firewalld/ update shut me off from my smb network.
does it get any better?
Yes. Enable Windows Classic theme.

Why there isn't a laptop general like the PC and Smartphone ones. The Thinkpad thread doesn't count because those things are a /g/ meme.
There are people who need a normal laptop for school/work or because muh mobility.

Entire setup only cost 125$. Monitor and speakers came from dumpster. Keyboard and mouse came with computers I bought in the past. Desk is a shelf.
