Hello all, I’ve been distro hopping a lot lately and have a long term goal of settling on one distro for the family laptops.

Currently it’s a smattering of linux distro’s and some M$ across all the systems in the house.

In short the fam has had a pretty negative reaction to Gnome for all the usual reasons, so there is a kubuntu instance, Nobara, but the KDE version, Manjaro etc… I kind of want to give Fedora a stint on my laptop and noticed the Fedora spins project and was wondering if anyone has played around with it at all?

I spun up the KDE version in a VM alongside the default Fedora and noticed it’s running a newer kernel than the default, which is interesting…

Is it an equal partner in update cycles?

    Maybe I’ll give that a go for myself

    Good luck!

    they are starting to offer their own Laptops with pretty nice hardware it seems

    Oh that’s neat, I must have missed those news, were they announced anywhere?

        Awesome hardware, but damn, 1299€?
        Guess I’ll be looking respectfully… from the sidelines (o.o )

          Yeah, now try adding components to it in order to make it a bit more modern, decent RAM, nvme, I’m at 1900. Pass. But hey, I support them and if I had that kind of money, I’d buy it.

            You took the words out of my mouth, that’s what I felt with most, if not all, “Linux laptops” I’ve seen up to now: concept is great, hardware is great, price is, well, greater.
            I do hope that everyone that can afford System76, Slimbook, Starlabs, etc. (hey, I’m noticing an unusual pattern here 🤔) will buy from them because I’d love to see both more adoption and makers that can improve Linux as a whole thriving
