I get my Fedoras from Amazon!
Not many good hat stores around anymore,

Most blame 1. JFK wearing no hat trend...2. The compact cars of the early ‘60s! Hard to get in and out! Still a peoblem for those liking men’s hats!

If you are coming from Windows, and want a Debian-compatible distro, Linux Mint is probably the most suitable overall.

I’m running both Fedora and Ubuntu Mint Cinnamon.

Fedora is great for server kinds of stuff. But Ubuntu has all the video drivers for media production. So I’m sticking with Mint for my needs.

Fine comparison. Thanks!

Fedora does have a a number of “spins” available for those with specialized interests, such as astronomy, graphics design, electronics simulation, Python programming, robotics, security, etc. You have the basic software you need all on one dvd.

I run Ubuntu on a 9 year old HP laptop. The hardware is starting to get finicky. I refuse to run MicroSoft on anything I own.

It’s worth mentioning that Ubuntu is the most popular distribution among developers, with about 40% of developer machine installs.

My issue with all (that I have tried) versions of Linux is getting Wine to run my Windows programs well.

There are just some things that aren’t produced with Linux in mind.

Is there a version that does better using Wine that others?

Kinda strange there's no mention of CentOS. If one is going for the RedHat family, Fedora is the leading (if not bleeding) edge distro. But if one wants RedHat's legendary stability, and doesn't want to pay the premium for RHEL, CentOS is RHEL with free community support.

Any thoughts on why this was ignored by the author?

Fedora is a clone of Redhat Linux

I am not!
