I recently tried out Fedora and it deleted my Windows boot files so I had to fuck with the computer for hours trying to troubleshoot... not to mention that almost all Linux tools can't create a proper bootable USB Windows recovery drive :/ Never had this problem with OpenSUSE (I had the best Linux experience with that one for sure) or Ubuntu, they behaved properly with dual-boot install. I guess Fedora never again. And what's with that name anyway? It's dumb. Fedoras are a meme for a reason.

Just make a Ventoy USB. Why people still bother flashing disk images to thumb drives is beyond me.

It's still needed for some things. I tried to install a Universal Blue based distro with Ventoy and kept getting errors, once I flashed a drive it installed perfectly normally. It's definitely an edge case though.

Ventoy is awesome, +1

I guess that’s because it was a community continuation of red hat linux (not the enterprise one)

Fedora Linux was thing before fedoras became the meme we know. Also, I would imagine some of the original Fedora Linux guys really did wear fedoras.

It is made by Red Hat, and they went with the hat theme. I used a few distributions, and RedHat was one of the worst. I don't know why it's popular.

  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
