Hello all, I’ve been distro hopping a lot lately and have a long term goal of settling on one distro for the family laptops.

Currently it’s a smattering of linux distro’s and some M$ across all the systems in the house.

In short the fam has had a pretty negative reaction to Gnome for all the usual reasons, so there is a kubuntu instance, Nobara, but the KDE version, Manjaro etc… I kind of want to give Fedora a stint on my laptop and noticed the Fedora spins project and was wondering if anyone has played around with it at all?

I spun up the KDE version in a VM alongside the default Fedora and noticed it’s running a newer kernel than the default, which is interesting…

Is it an equal partner in update cycles?

    I used both the mutable (“KDE spin”) and atomic (“Kinoite”) version.

    While I’m more a Gnome guy personally, both variants were a joy to use.

    I personally would recommend the immutable version, especially the one from uBlue, which comes with some QoL stuff pre enabled.

    Especially since you use the devices as family computers, there’s a high chance of someone fucking up your OS. With the immutable distros, every fuck up is recoverable with just one quick roll back.
    They maintain themselves and you only need to power off your device once every few weeks or so (preferably at least once a week) to boot into the updated image.

    Of course, being KDE, there were a few small issues here and there, but nothing bad or super annoying. The last time I used Plasma was a few months ago, those minor problems are probably fixed by now.
