Is Nobara tied in with all the Redhat Drama? (kbin.social)

Hello Everyone, I was planning to get a hard drive to install Linux in to use for daily driving. I was looking at Nobara for a bit but after the RedHat drama, should I still be using it? or should I look at something else for the time being? Thank you.

Distro-hopping is a valid hobby, but it's not for everyone. If you aren't specifically interested in distros and fiddling with packages, hopping around on your "daily driver" can be disruptive. If you just want something that works, there's nothing wrong with figuring out which distros do what you need and using one of those for work and play. If something catastrophic happens to a distro to make it literally unusable, you can worry about that when it happens. There is usually something else which is almost the same. Few people will get much value from hopping between distros which are basically the same, just because the distros are put out by different companies or install different packages by default.

Oh that's totally fair. I guess my point is if you're just looking for something that'll work then that's just about any of them. I'd pick the one with the most results on StackOverflow because it's most likely to have any issues resolved. And even then, to be honest, that's just a habit from 25 years ago when issues were a thing, these days pretty much everything just works.

If you're asking about distro recommendations I guess I expect a distro hopper.
