Finally done with the distro-hop: My return to Fedora (unknownuniverse.uk)

Two years into full-time Linux and I’m finally burning the distro-hopping cycle. I fell for the Arch/AUR trap for a while, but I got tired of spending my weekends debugging file manager crashes instead of maintaining my home lab.

Switched back to Fedora, and it’s boring in exactly the way I need it to be. It’s a stable launchpad for my projects, not the project itself.

PikaOS is Debian-based and maintaining its own repository based on trixie and unstable with similar patches to Bazzite & team. I've been using it as a daily driver on 3-4 systems for at least a year or two with no serious issues, and the updates are quick to fix any minor issues. Excellent for gaming. It's probably not up to CachyOS gaming standards nor Debian stability but I find it's a comfortable spot for me.

I dunno. The maintainer warns us on startup that this is a hobby for them. I don't know how quick they'll answer to important security issues.

It sounds great on paper, but I'm looking for something a little more stable and serious.
