Red Hat's business is mostly in servers and service to host for companies. Fedora is a side project at most. That's why I find it funny that people think Red Hat is going to destroy Linux or something. My point was that companies want to make money, and if a distro becomes really really popular is inevitable that sooner or later some kind of corporation will put it's hands on it.

I know Fedora is mostly just Gnome, but you can't deny it's probably the best implementation of it in any distro. I tried KDE and wasn't for me. I got used to gnome's workflow real quick, I have trouble using Windows even. And Arch is definitely not easy to install for a newbie. Idk, I guess all this drama with Fedora is just pointless to me

Not how it works. And more so in general if you're interested and curious do some reading on copyleft licenses. It's truly a marvelous thing and they work quite well at keeping projects open.

I absolutely can, what. It's about the same as all other distros that don't add much or at all to the upstream version.

And Arch is definitely not easy to install for a newbie.

If you are interested in trying it some time, once you're in the installer type "archinstall". It's a default installation script that makes it easy to install. There isn't nearly as much upkeep as the memes would suggest.

I tried archinstall. It's still not easy, specially if you are not very well versed in os installs. As long as Fedora works it will be fine for me.

In any case, whatever you install will be better than Microsoft's Windows, now thats a predatory company! I'll never go back to Windows. And maybe in the future I will try my luck with another distro
