I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this?

I made the same move a few years back and really like it. Can't say much regarding SELinux and security though. Regarding the AUR, it depends on how much you use it but I only rarely miss it. A lot of stuff that is not in the default fedora repos can be found in copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/
Just use distrobox for aur. Nowadays I use nix pkg manager for everything that's not available
Yeah I also use nix as a kind of air alternative
It's so easy to use
I'd have to think RPM Fusion is comparable to the AUR, no? I've never used Arch btw, but I do know Fedora pretty well.
Fusion is a managed 3rd party repo, isn't it? AUR and copr is more individuals creating packages
Ya, RPM Fusion is handled by a 3rd party I'm pretty sure. But I was thinking more along the lines of what software is available though.
Ah ok, then there is a rough similarity yes, but the AUR is veeery broad
@shreddy_scientist @Kwdg you can go check out the rpm fusion repos to see what's there. Mostly I use it for nvidia drivers and patent encumbered codecs. Historically some of the same people who work on Fedora also work on rpm fusion.
