What makes Aurora different than Fedora Kinoite?

Different theming, as well as more preinstalled packages with the option to enable a developer mode that installs Podman, VS Code, KVM/QEMU, etc.

Non-free codecs out of the box

So I actually ended up trying it out, and DistroShelf, Tailscale, OpenRazer and Solaar were not preinstalled. Not sure if I missed an option or not during install but I don't think so 🤔

Bazarr is also on default Kinoite. So it seems the differences are relatively minor. Which is not a bad thing. Kinoite is one of the best out there IMO.

Strange, I have all of that. Maybe it's inherited from older builds? Maybe my branch is now using the aurora-dx image?

I never distro-hopped. Went from Windows straight to Mint. I gave Aurora a try a couple of month ago and it's such a great distro, I'll keep it.

I use it on my work laptop via an M2 caddy, this way the laptop still has the windows OEM license installed, if I plug it into a new laptop my OS and files are ready to go as well. My IT department is very happy, and me even more.
