So you’re blaming mistakes made more than 20 years ago while forgetting those who were made since? Totally objective and fair opinion…

That’s fair, but you can’t deny Europe has done much better than its counterparts for more than 2 decades. Europe is not the guilty one there.

In context: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co-emissions-per-capita?time=earliest…2024

Per capita Europe is close to world average. Your comment makes no sense.

(I’m a bit harsh)

It’s documented in every COP report. Our electricity is mostly carbon-free thanks to renewable and nuclear. Our industry is gone to China. Heating with fossil fuel is being replaced with electric installation and heat pumps…

China was polluting a lot more, that’s where a lot of room for improvement existed.

I did read everything and I appreciate your writing! I might give Fedora another try at some point but I’ve stopped distro-hopping for a while now. Manjaro on my laptop for 7 years, Debian on servers, I’m a happy man.

I got confused with CentOS changes in 2000: https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/

It eroded my trust with anything Red Hat-related. And the acquisition by IBM in 2019 had already damaged its image.

Last time I tried Fedora (around last year), anything installed via the “software” app in GNOME defaulted to a flatpak install.

Thanks for the additional context. I may have misunderstood the announcement 5 years ago as I remember reacting very negatively to that news. Are they still defaulting to flatpak for new apps?

My experience with fedora was the opposite of robust. I’ve tried multiple times over the last decades, my last experience is fairly recent (a couple of years ago) but always disappointing: hardware issues, minor but annoying bugs, etc.

And KDE Plasma has always been neglected by the core team. So clearly not the right distribution for OP.

You’re looking for stability and KDE Plasma. Fedora doesn’t seem to be the right candidate.
Arch Linux (or Endeavour / Manjaro), or OpenSUSE are better candidate.
