I got started with ubuntu a long time ago due to its notoriety as a platform where everything works. It’s still the case! With the advent of technologies like flatpak and containers, other linux distributions are viable. I’m taking a break from Ubuntu to experience other distributions, as well as:

  • get acquainted with other package management. Thanks apt, dpkg and .deb!!
  • i’m torn on the direction with snaps, when flatpak exists
  • expose myself to different cultures in other distros

I’ve dabbled with fedora a lot over the years, but have now completely transitioned to it. The community, the speed of updates, documentation and developer focus are simply impressive. For now goodbye ubuntu my good old friend apt install -y vim-nox git, hello fedora my energetic new pal dnf install -y vim-enhanced git
