The Linux Cast :opensuse: (npub1tv2…7u2g) Challenge accepted.
- Nala is significantly faster than dnf.
- Debian is more stable. Even Debian Testing.
- Fedora removes video codecs.
- Fedora relies on microsoft azure for its repos. (not sure if this counts, most software is still being developed on github)
- I've had better luck finding some development packages on Debian.
- A lot of people find Fedora's installer confusing. (i think it's fine though)
- Getting nvidia GPUs to work is a lot easier on Debian, from my experience.
- Fedora has a lower default limit for the size of temporary files. (I only know one application that suffers from this though)
- Debian generally has more support.
I will give fedora credit for making some good improvements to how they do some things with repos recently. They used to filter flathub's non-free software without telling the user. If the user tried to add flathub themselves the system would tell them it's already there, requiring the user to remove it and add it again.
They now just have a button in the installer to enable regualar flatub and rpm-fusion. But this button is only there in the flagship gnome version, not in any of the spins.
Debian Testing works well for me. The installer can be a little finicky sometimes, it also sometimes adds the installation media as a repo, making you unable to update unless you first remove it from your apt sources file. 32-bit support is disabled by default, but is required if you want to run Steam or Wine, and I had to get used to using Firefox ESR. Though I could use flatpak to install the regular version of Firefox if i wanted to.
