Okay /g/entoomen, I'd like some input from this esteemed online community. I'd like to graduate from Baby's First Linux (Ubuntu) to something not based on Debian. A friend of mine told me to check out CentOS or Fedora. What's the real difference?

CentOS is targeted for servers because it's pretty stable and has very old packages (even older than Debian's).
Fedora is targeted for desktops. It's pretty stable and cutting-edge.

>CentOS for servers
That's what I thought as well, but I've seen screenfetch/neofetch threads here with people using CentOS. Is that grade-A doofus?

CentOS is basically RHEL without commercial support, it's really stable so it works for some people. I'd use it instead Debian because I don't like .deb.
But I prefer newer packages so that's why I run Fedora and Arch. CentOS is perfect for servers, good for desktops but too old.

CentoOS is for servers if you're too poor to afford RHEL subscription.
Fedora is for desktops and has newer packages.
