Once again, I'm coming back to Fedora. I have it installed on my MacBook, and from now on it's gonna be my go-to distro for any powerful enough system I'm working on. Enough experiments, I want things to just work. And Fedora does exactly this.

I have an HP DevOne laptop and I decided to go with Pop!_OS for it. After all, the laptop was made in collaboration with System76. And I went all in, using it with their brand new COSMIC desktop environment. It was fine. Not great, but usable enough for work. And I've been using it for about half a year.

Recently I bought a new webcam and wanted to test it. I didn't find any installed app, so I went to the Software Center or, however it's called there, and went for Cheese as it was something I'm familiar with. After I launched it and saw the video feed, I saw a button called "Effects." After I pressed it, the OS just froze. The only way was the hard reset. After the reboot, the desktop was just blank, and I couldn't switch to the console to start fixing things. So I thought, fuck it, I want the OS to work, to help me achieve my goals and work and be productive, etc. I don't want to waste my time trying to figure out how to save my installation after the damn webcam app crashed.

And I have numerous cases like this. I remember Ubuntu fucking me over after a routine package updates, I remember Manjaro failing on me after some months of usage. Fedora failed me only twice. Both times I was able to save it, and it was worth it. I didn't have to set up the environment again, and I could be sure that the OS was going to work properly for longer than half a year.

Thanks to the Fedora devs and the community. GNOME plays an important role here too, as it's the default DE there. The most stable thing in the world of the Linux distros.
