Here’s another comment with more detail
From this article, an interview with Fedora’s project leader:
On the other hand, the long-term distributions work by basically not making changes. Fedora doesn’t follow that, your packages will get updated. We try to make it so that major breaking changes happen on releases rather than just as updates. But sometimes, if there is a security problem, we will put out a newer version of something. So for that kind of stable, it is much less so."
That’s why Fedora users are stuck with e.g. the older GNOME version until the next release.
The difference between Fedora and Debian regarding stability is that there’s a new Fedora release every 6 months, while on Debian you have to wait like 2 (?) years for major updates.
That’s how I always interpreted the term “leading edge”.
Yes, that article is wrong
Fedora is not bleeding edge like Arch. It’s “leading edge”; the packages are a lot more tested before being deployed.
People being more experienced with Ubuntu/Debian is a good point
The software packages are old so you run into bugs that have already been fixed months or even years ago
Neither snow nor rain, nor gloom of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds
What does it do
Oh, that’s unfortunate
And after that you’ll be stuck with an outdated distro again
And they literally took down a fan project recently…
If you mean Portal 64 you’re misinformed at best
How do you get this black theme? I downloaded Gradient-Dark-GTK and set it for legacy applications in Tweaks but nothing changed
Are you complaining that they’re going open source?
That’s not Ross, that’s David Schwimmer
Yes but git can be reasonable
Rude? That’s a bit much
Thanks for your explanation, that makes sense. Was just curious what your take on this is, since a lot of CEOs made some very irrational decisions in the past like the recent Unity debacle or Reddit killing the community. Sometimes asking “what if” can help understand the situation. Of course with Linux we have all the options in case something bad happens
If you’re into scripting anyways you have a lot more power on a Linux system. Windows was never intended for automation
The solution is to not be cconfident and remain open minded. You can switch any time
