This shit is going to backfire so hard.

That was my only experience with this distro.

I hate the fact that I need to use 3rd party repos for mpv, but other than that it's a great distro.

Use wayland, it's tear free.

lol, same here

breaks my ssh x forwarded apps and x2go

SSH X forwarding should still work under wayland. Wayland doesn't really support remote desktop yet though.

fedora is literally shit

That's why you use the XFCE spin, it's both stable and up-to-date.

I am also having a few issues with Fedora this year, maintainers are getting lazy...

Is Debian a good distro for a laptop?

gnu\linux even functioning is a privilege, not a right

welcome to linux.

Fedora gnome is terrible on lower-power machines, but the OS itself seems quite good. I'm hopeful.

Ha that's funny I was going to reply to you and this time the captcha checkbox automatically solved itself. I didn't have to solve anything for Google to post.

Same experience with Ubuntu.

Nigga you never update a stable release of fedora

It's just asking for bugs and crashes

>Using MATE
You rebel. Also, Gentoo has UEFI support.

This shit happened with me on Ubuntu Gnome. It was something to do with plymouthd and the fix was reinstalling it or some shit.

Ironically, I went back to Fedora.
