Wow, I was really not expecting us to get this far into the weeds in this thread but I suppose I should have lol

I honestly think it's the best distro so far. Which sucks since it is so reliant on RedHat. I prefer to avoid corporate related distros like Fedora and Ubuntu, but I must admit they have a better experience right out of the box. I still want to give NixOS a try and maybe Gentoo, but after that I will probably come back to Fedora just like you...until something I think might be better comes along.

Personally, I couldn't do it. I understand if they are working hard to survive or provide for children/family, but when you don't have those obligations you really have to choose whether you want such a demanding career or a relationship. It's just not fair to the other partner, regardless of how much money they're bringing in.

It's the first distro I've tried where everything just works right out of the box and nothing is overly bloated. All of the software I use was available from the Bazzar and my printer even worked right away. No fiddling with CUPS or trying to install from binary/tar/appimg/etc.

A server is just a computer like any other that connects to other computers through the internet and shares data back and forth. It stores its info in hard drives so yes, they can definitely fill up. But just like other computers they can be upgraded with more storage space if that happens.

The cost ranges wildly depending on how powerful a server you need. I've used my 10+ year old lenovo as a server and it probably isn't worth much. Conversely, I'm sure some professional server stacks can get quite costly.

As for if lemmy.world needs more, I can't say. That would be up to the maintainers of that instance to comment on.

If you're looking for something that won't give you any headaches then I wholeheartedly recommend Bazzite. IMO it's the best distro for the casual user.

I've also been interested in NixOS lately for the ability to easily transfer and back up the config, but I have yet to make that jump. It seems like a really great way to set up an OS though.
