I stuck with Ubuntu for about six years. Long periods of stability and several periods of everything breaking badly (nvidia drivers usually). Tried Pop!_OS for a while and it was OK, but often annoying bugs - especially with audio. Been on Bazzite for about 8 months and it has been absolutely rock solid.
When I switched to Linux I initially settled on Kubuntu. First upgrade it completely crapped out, and the solution wasn't readily apparent, so I went with something else. Now, my current distro has also crapped itself once, but that was solved without much hassle.
it's fine but it's a real pain sometimes. Out of all the distros I've used I've never seen one just randomly break or crash as much as Ubuntu.
I run it on my dedicated server and I'm honestly debating switching the distro. It's a crap shoot if an update/upgrade is going to go smoothly or not. It'll either go smooth as silk or decide it's time to break everything. no middle ground.
For an average new user it's fine. for anyone beyond that? you're honestly better off with something else.
nothing happened, it's right there.
because SteamOS is Arch this is about the distribution you would expect. Everyone recommends Mint to start, Fedora and Ubuntu are rock solid ... wait why is PoP so far down the list ...
I like pop, use it on my laptop but people seem to dunk on it for some reason. Most credible being they just dont like the UI
Ahh I always forget about that lol. I just assume it's never included in things like this.
It's a corporation alongside Fedora.
Fedora isn't quite the same as Ubuntu or RHEL, it's partly handled by both the community and redhat. See the Fedora Project.
I installed Ubuntu Studio as my first distro 2 months ago. Have to reset plasma multiple times daily due to nvidia drivers but other than that it seems pretty solid. I'm interested in trying something else but it took a lot of work to get my audio working right (I do freelance audio for a living) and I don't remember how I did it haha.
I had a similar issue with nvidia drivers in ubuntu. Basically had to reinstall it twice because it got corrupted somehow. Pretty sure it's just nvidia being nvidia, but idrk.
