I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

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.
