From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not much really. It is great, but slow as shit and makes me want to toss my computer across the room. I just want to install one tiny 5 kb package, I don't want you to take 10 minutes checking all the RPM fusions repos and go to the moon and back then install my package. No, just install the damn thing. I'll ask you when I need you to check that long list of repos. 😂
Dnf-5 was/is supposed to be a big speed improvement, no?
Not sure. I have fedora 38 in a VM and it's still very slow.
Not targeted to be default until Fedora 41. So if you wanted to try it out you would have to install it your self.
Ok then, I'll search it up and install it.
Sweet I hope it really is better for you then!
I actually did install it. I hate to judge it in a virtual machine, but I've noticed a small difference. It's still slow, but not as slow as the other one. Fun fact, the only reason why I don't use fedora is that I hate their installer. I have 3 drives on my PC, and I'm so scared that I'd mess things up and lose my photos/videos/games etc 😂 The installer is so confusing. I remember figuring it out once then just forgot it again.
I custom install every time, partially to preserve my user data partition, partially because I don't like the defaults (I like mirroring my disks and leaving space to grow into later if I want)
Same here, that's why I have 3 different drives in my PC, 512GB nvme ssd for root, 1TB SATA SSD for home, and 2 TB SATA SSD just for games/emulation and steam
