I use it on my Laptop, but I don't boot it into Linux all that much.

My desktop has Arch. Haven't had any major issues with it in a long time, and I only do updates if I have time to fix things -- or have an alternative to get my shit done -- if it does somehow break.

Too bloated for my tastes (and netbook).
Void is literally the perfect distribution anyway.

There's no reason to use Wayland on Fedora.

I've always used the XFCE spin of it, I wasn't even aware that Wayland had become a thing in Fedora before I read about it.

Is that the "I wanted a Mac but mom wouldn't buy me one" starter pack? I use Debian because it's not named after a piece of clothing commonly worn by neckbearded autists.

I take it back. I installed VirtualBox (using it to grab screenshots for a project), which relied on a new version of openSSL (not marked as such in the repo), so I updated openSSL.

As it turns out, fucking everything new relied on that openSSL version and everything I had installed only worked on the old one, which simultaneosly removed the old version. The package maintainers updated everything they should have, but didn't mark the new version dependencies at all.

Needless to say, pacman, curl, among other packages broke until I diagnosed the whole issue. It would have been fine if I ran pacman -Syu before installing new packages, but the package maintainers really need to be more careful about version dependencies like this. They updated everything relying on the new openssl version at once but didn't mark the version dependencies, so you could install the openssl version without updating everything else that it breaks, breaking practically everything until you forcibly downgrade openssl and whatever stuff you mistakenly updated trying to fix the issue.

I lost 2 hours to this problem. Arch is usually fine, but it's rare awkward issues like this that piss me off. Hopefully using pacman -Syu before installing new packages will keep this from happening in the future. God damn.

tlp didn't want to cooperate for me and I had some issues with SELinux which caused unnecessary troubles for me.

Installed Antergos and I've been happy for the past month. If it shit's itself I'll just go back to good ol' Ubuntu with i3.
>>
>>60073629
Because any OS that fucks itself in the ass during or after a "click next" installation wizard is not worth my time.

How to fix font rendering then?
>>
>>60076797
That's why repositories exist. You can't just update system libraries without updating the whole system, everything is linked together. The only way to do this is by compiling everything from source, like it is done in gentoo automatically.
And yes syncing everything beforehand and not updating only specific packages solves this. Of course the package managers could be a bit better programmed to account for stupid people that try to destroy their system.

It doesn't. Even Fedora on a shitty laptop is better than a Mac.

I used to use Fedora Core.
Give me one good reason that should I go back.

We use RHEL/CentOS on all of our workstations and servers at work and even our network security engineers tell us to just use Ubuntu on our personal desktops, two of them work for Redhat and they dislike Fedora. FWIW they use Ubuntu or MacOS on their desktops/laptops.

Fedora bares no resemblence to CentOS or RHEL at all.

His font and icons are disgusting tho. And besides, having an always visible app dock is a waste of space, especially when it's on the bottom.

If you don't want wayland it's a simple fix.

Don't get me wrong, nice distro, but 1. I woke up with my webcam on spying on me, 2. I don't trust their NSA firewall, 3. I prefer openSUSE Leap since stability is key for me, 4. my printer actually WORKS on openSUSE.

>>60076797
i had the exactly same problem some days ago; when pacman didnt want to start because of some libssl and libcrypto error; i fixed it by manually copying the necessary package into the system folders and then overwrite it with --force via pacman which was working again; quite annoying that you can break your arch install when updateing a packge manually instead of using pacman -Syu

Red Hat and NSA are besties.
Fedora is basically free Red Hat.

Kill yourself, NSA shill.

Doesn't offer me anything over Ubuntu.

we use osx at work, if anything I'll go to centos to be closer to what our server infrastructure uses, i personally am fine with ubuntu or debian, but centos is fine so far
