I'm loving it. Just the process of guiding users with one click to set up the official and third-party repos in the welcome screen on Fedora KDE Plasma 42 makes one question why other repos don't do the same—instead of having to open VLC and try to figure out why their H.265/HEVC videos aren't playing, etc. Not to mention all the customization that is officially built-in so an OS update doesn't break your user-generated extensions and customizations like with GNOME.

That's actually pretty cool. I haven't ever really used fedora.
Linus famously uses Fedora, which inspired me to try it many years ago. I've found myself consistently returning to it ever since. Don't get me wrong, I love Debian's reliability, but its packages quickly become outdated after each release.
For me, Fedora strikes the perfect balance between Arch's bleeding-edge approach and Debian's stability—a sweet spot that keeps me current with updates and features without sacrificing system reliability.
Also, I still had to manually set up HEVC in VLC (of course)—not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that—but the principle remains about the third-party repositories and ease of setup.
Here's a screenshot from the welcome screen—one click to enable. Very nice.
Yeah, with my new laptop, I needed to use Debian Trixie, which is technically the testing version of Debian Just so it could be compatible with some of my newer hardware. 😅
