   I hope not. I love Fedora, and it's kind of heavily reliant on Red Hat being a good citizen (as are many other distros). Red Hat is still the (benevolent?) king of the Linux world.

      I've been a diehard Debian user for most of my life. Swag. T-shirts. Case badges. Virtually every cloud server, VPS or dedicated box in my homelab is Debian or Debian-based (proxmox). My first install was in the Etch days.

      But recently I installed Fedora on my Framework 13 Pro and I really like it a lot. everything 'just works'. Then I installed it on a Chuwi netbook, and again to my surprise everything 'just works'. I am starting to dig dnf over apt, too. I am running Rocky as my domain controller at home (free ipa). Suffice to say I am kinda leanin into the redhat/rpm/fedora ecosysem and will be rebuilding my workstation (Deb 12) on Fedora instead of going to Debian 13.

      I still love Debian .. but as a developer the tooling is so much more modern on Fedora stack. COPR is cool too.

         You could just use debian testing?

            I’m afraid

               Much less disruptive than fedora.

                  Do you find fedora to be disruptive? I've only been using it about 3 months so far but haven't felt that myself.

                     Been daily driving Fedora for 6 years now. I can’t think of any personal disruptions in that time.

                        I'm not saying it is. I'm saying debian testing is less.
