title, and to be clear I mean for my usecase specifically. Redhat is being absorbed into IBM and i'm a little worried about how that might affect the fedora project. I'm aware that they've been owned by IBM for a while but we are seeing all the typical signs of a company about to go to shit thanks to bad management. I am looking into and preparing to switch in case the fedora project is messed up as well.
I use my pc mainly for gaming (so steam is required) and stuff in my browser and I have a gtx 1650 (can't get new stuff bc i'm broke) so although I don't need the proprietary drivers necessarily, I prefer them. I use KDE with a handful of kwin scripts (like temp virtual desktops and karousel) and some cosmetic stuff like klassy, better blur, and a custom color scheme. I need all of that to remain possible. I currently use fedora kde edition, but I have been looking into immutable distros because I don't know what I'm doing and I want to have a much lower chance of breaking stuff (or at least a way to easily unbreak it). I also want something at least reasonably up-to-date, because I like to get new features quickly. I don't need to get them as fast as something like arch, but ubuntu and debian are way to slow for me.
what do y'all think would work best for me? I've looked at a few things but I haven't been able to find anything but fedora that serves my usecase the way I want it to yet.
Did you try Kalpa? (opensuse) unfortunately, I don't know in which state it is. Aeon works very well for me. I've used silverblue before and I was surprised how good it is.
i dont think I have. ive tried leap and tumbleweed or whatever they're called before but I didn't see any reason to use it over fedora at the time.
I've got exactly the same experience as on fedora silverblue except that openssh, flatpack firefox, distrobox and other goodies are installed by default. If you want to stick to fedora, you can use dnf in a distrobox.
I didn't have a valod reason to switch. I hesitated for very long because additional benefit was basically 0. Make a backup of your home dir and the effort of switching is minimal.
The only difference is that I now support a European company and not an american.
