Woohoo. After a hardware upgrade that requires kernel 6.14 or newer I've been stuck on arch. Time to breakout the old drive and try an upgrade.

Fedora also has up to date kernels, if you wanted to run something other than Arch.

At the time of myhardware upgrade it was only arch and nix that supported 6.14.

I've got mixed feelings about Fedora. I spent 10 years using a mix of Fedora, Red Hat, CEntOS, and Red Hawk at work so I'm very used to it.

However some of the decisions Red Hat the company have been making make me hesitant about it's future. It also makes me feel like I'm at work when I use it at home.

It's not a bad linux family at all and if I was setting up a production server CEntOS would probably be my choice.

I use nobara which is a fork of fedora it's pretty good. Though the update manager gui is complete crap for how slow it is.
