Share Your Favorite Linux Distros and Why You Love Them - FMHY

So we can clearly see the most popular distros and the reasons why people use them, please follow this format: - Write the name of the Linux distro as a first-level comment. - Reply to that comment with each reason you like the distro as a separate answer. For example: - Distro (first-level comment) - Reason (one answer) - Other reason (a different answer) We’re looking to create a comprehensive list of the most popular Linux distributions and the reasons why people use them.

The best thing for an inexperienced user. It’s simply unbreakable. Immutability rocks.

Except it breaks every couple months and the devs have no concept of rolling updates back.

My wife has been using Fedora Silverblue for almost 4 year on two laptops. There were no issue, nada, what so ever. It really just works. Yes, some bug could occur. And Fedora bug tracker is an awesome place for dealing with that. I believe, nobody will roll back a change just because of a single bug report but in my experience most bugs are being fixed pretty quickly if a reporter provides info to do that.

Flatpaks were impossible to install JUST THE OTHER DAY.

This is a random hearsay. Please, show a link to the bug report.

Sure, why not?

Should I also link to the time where rpm-ostree could not update or install anything? Which of those times should I link?

Ok. Bug was fixed. Bugs happen. I guess a regular user will get the fix eventually.

Also, that didn’t break the system. Sure, a new app wouldn’t be possible to install but the system worked overall and users were able to perform their tasks;)

Ohhh, the narrative is changing, previously you were denying any bad things. Progress, perhaps?

Keep in mind it was impossible to install the distribution when rpm-ostree broke and it would be useless when flatpak broke. Of course, you could check the forums and see workarounds but that’s not very different from downloading an older ISO in any distribution.
