I’ve gone full Linux over the last year and am not looking back. One Fedora KDE and two Ubuntu Cinnamon. The problem with Fedora is lack of video drivers and they only do two cycles of updates.

Not sure what you mean by these statements. You have Mesa, nouveau, NVidia, and Radeon drivers available. That covers just about every video card in existence.

Two cycles of updates? Oh--you mean they only officially support a release for two cycles. Yeah. Things move pretty quick in the Fedora world. It's meant to be a development/testing distro for Red Hat, so they stay on the bleeding edge.

This is typical of Linux. It requires a lot of tweaking and hunting around for drivers to make it work. Ubuntu is the best yet I haven’t had any problems.

I developed a web server and WebDAV with Apache and now have an internet music server using shoutcast and o repurposed a 10 year old laptop.
