From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had settled on Fedora but after that debacle I decided to move to OpenSUSE - no complaints there.
There's plenty of choice, why stick with Red Hat?
I did the same thing, actually. 😅
Ubuntu drama, switched to Fedora
Red Hat drama, switched to OpenSUSE.
But now I have to learn everything because I'm still stuck on APT. I like Zypper and OPI, though. I just wish it wasn't so freaking slow.
Ubuntu drama? Don't like snap or something else?
It's not really that I dislike Snap, but the little petty war against Flatpak that Canonical has started is just an 'ick to me. Besides that, switching was a no brainer for me I like bleeding edge software, and I own an Intel Arc card, which benefits from the improvements found newer versions of Mesa.
True, I tried snap on desktop a few years ago. Now I run Ubuntu server with everything I can in docker.
