Hi everyone, i want to move from Windows to Fedora. I’m a noobie of linux, i want a OS that don’t spy me but with softwares for daily base use and for delevop apllication. Someone can advise me if is the right choice or give another option? Sorry for my english :')

    I’ve been using Fedora for over a year instead of windows, I’m happy with it. It’s stable, easy to install the software I want, looks good. I’d say go for it!

    Sometimes I think about distro hopping, but I think I’d rather do that on a second computer so that when I break it I’ll still have a working one.

    Fedora is nice. I use it on my touchscreen laptop and most things just worked out of the box. I use Linux Mint on my desktop and I really like it. I think it’s a great distro for people coming from Windows, since the UI will feel a little more familiar.

      The steam deck uses arch, not Manjaro (although Manjaro is based off arch). But ultimately it doesn’t matter too much what distro you use for gaming.

      Arch is a weird recommendation for beginners, even with the better install process. The aur is nice but isn’t necessary imo. Fedora works fine, or I’d recommend mint for something a bit more “stable.” I’ve been using both for a while with minimal issues.
