I’ve been using Debian-based distros most of my adult Linux life, but I read recently that KDE has a better experience on Fedora than Kubuntu, so I want to try it out.
I already know that I won’t be able to use apt, but what other differences should I expect with fedora?
The do not have an LTS release? What is upgrading like? When should you upgrade if you want stability?
I mean, are you so desperate to get system updates that you can’t manually restart, say, every few days? You should be rebooting every time you get a kernel update, anyway.
who’s “desperate”? I don’t wanna reboot to get new package updates. that’s a stupid concept that was done with in like Windows 98 days. I don’t reboot my desktop or my phone for weeks, that’s hella comfortable and I’m not going back from that.
if the crowd pushing the immutable stack would lead with that, or at very least mention it, I’d keep shtum.
All the GUI and homebrew apps can be updated in-session; it’s just the system side of things that needs a reboot after updating. Like your smartphone, the underlying system doesn’t need updating on a daily basis.
I get it - your personal habits don’t jive with the immutable paradigm. But for the average user, I’d say it’s not a major issue.
