Migrating away from Fedora, looking for advice. - sh.itjust.works

I’m in the market to find a new distro that is similar enough to Fedora that switching won’t be as laborious as I’ve had it before. I keep hearing POP!_os is a good choice but I’m going to as the community what they think is good.

Can also vouch for Pop_OS .Can’t tell how much having recovery partition added saved me from reinstalling os again :)

How does the recovery partition work? I mean, I always believed it was a “copy” of the iso so that you can reinstall the system without an external USB drive

Ye but if you can boot into it you can still fix main OS :) support.system76.com/articles/pop-recovery/

Here is how to use the recovery partition to repair, refresh or reinstall your operating system.

One really cool thing that you can do with the recovery partition is to reinstall but keep everything in your home directory intact. I think it’s called refresh installation. Very handy to recover from a bad situation without much hassle. Imo more distros should have a recovery partition.

Ok I think it’s time to create the recovery partition (I didn’t create it during the installation)
