I tend to agree with “can’t go much wrong” these days, but there was a period back in the late 2000s/early 2010s when Fedora was a hot mess to install and work with. That’s what drove me to Ubuntu at the time.

These days Canonical looks to have abandoned the desktop for the server market, which makes sense if you need to make money to pay the bills. This is what Distrowatch had to say about Ubuntu 22.04:

“I think the launch of Ubuntu 22.04 is a clear sign Canonical is much more interested in publishing releases on a set schedule than producing something worthwhile. This version was not ready for release and it is probably going to be a costly endeavour to maintain this collection of mixed versioned software and mixed display server and mixed designs for a full five years. It’s a platform I would recommend avoiding.”

I agree with that conclusion. That’s why I’m restlessly looking at other distributions, especially Fedora.

And while I can’t find the exact quote, I believe that Linus Torvalds uses Fedora for his development machine. My coming back to Fedora just goes to show that times are always changing, life is always in flux.
