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.

Skip Fedora and leap straight to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I've been told OpenSUSE software availability is very, very limited compared to Fedora's. What do you think about it?

Wherever you end up, if you're willing to use Flatpaks, you'll have many up-to-date options.

This is my answer as well. As an American, I have trust issues with Fedora being both US based and IBM owned now. That said, Fedora has been a very good OS and more reliable than Mint/Ubuntu with regards to cutting edge stuff, like VR support, drivers, and Wayland. Debian/Ubuntu/Mint and other derivatives may be ol' reliable for servers, but as a desktop, it's too "vintage" to keep pace with modern stuff, and I've had more problems with trying to get new stuff to run on them.

What's "vintage" for you?
