    Debian has far more support from 3rd party software vendors than Fedora. That’s one reason I stick with Debian.

      For sure, but fedora comes with the new anaconda installer which is easy asf for beginners. I feel like the Debian installed could use a major UX makeover if were recommending it to beginners
