If you're looking into switching to Linux, you should avoid Fedora. in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk

Fedora is free and open source software, one of the few distros recommended by privacyguides and one that takes SELinux, PipeWire and Wayland support seriously and isn't stuck on an ancient kernel like all the Debian based distros. Which is most of them. This is the same kind of FUD that was spread about Signal the other day.

This is basically just spreading FUD about Signal.
