    Ubuntu has never been remotely stable for me. Something stupid breaks or becomes difficult to get what I want out of it.

    Been that way since it came out for me.

    I find Arch much less hassle than Ubuntu ever was.

    Just recently put Ubuntu on a machine for a work project. It was broken from the get go, throwing errors and being it’s usual shitty self.

    I could never recommend it.

    Fedora on the other hand has been on a spare laptop for about 6 months and I gotta say they really have put some polish in. Updates are frequent but reasonable and most everything works well. Some small issues but they are not show stoppers and Fedora is aware of them.

      i find that distros focusing on ease of use tend to not tolerate modding and prodding as well as the distros focusing on modularity and customizability.

      i think its time to consider something like arch or gentoo when you are changing it around too much at the expense of some more maintaining.

      also yeah fedora is really polished, i like it.

        I agree. But the last time I used ubuntu for a project recently I only tried to use built in functions, no modding. Never looks good when it throws errors trying to use built in features. Which always seems true with Ubuntu!
