    There is a reason why people switch from Arch to Fedora.

        I think Arch is more stable nowadays, but I definitely needed to switch from Arch to Fedora back in 2014 after NetworkManager kept breaking my wifi. I wanted a bleeding-edge, customizable distro that’s still batteries-included and stable.

        I work in a stem center as a computer science tutor and it has happened to myself as well as a tutee and a fellow tutor. We all moved because keeping up with a rolling release gets tiring when you have projects with deadlines. They call it the bleeding edge because it has a tendency to cut you.

        I still love arch and there’s parts of it I miss. Fedora just has a tendency to break less often.

            yeah I’ve had a lot of problems with ubuntu. our arch problems mostly stem from an update breaking compatibility for tools we use for things like the oscilloscopes in labs. fedora just works most of the time though
