I’m 41 years young, and have been a cancer survivor for 37 years now. (I think you can do the math)
Sadly, I can’t work due to medical reasons. So, I have a lot of time on my hands.
I have been using various rolls of Linux ever since Debian Squeeze. A friend of mine, and some of his henchmen helped me configure it. Besides Debian, I tried Mint, Arcos, Cachy, Vanilla Arch, etc. But I never considered Fedora. I think I may have used it way in the early days, but I don’t remember a lot about it. Think it was a CD inside a book or something.
I am right now back with Debian Testing, and I rather like it. But, I always like more. Not Arch more, but more updated software than Debian Stable, but less worrisome than Debian Sid.
But with my computer I’m going to build in a couple months, I might try Fedora. I already used you in a VM, so I’m not walking on eggshells here. I’m trying out Fedora KDE.
I think I read somewhere, that Fedora is the barrier between Debian and Arch. Not quite Arch, because in my experience, breaks a lot.
I’m sad to read what you had to live though But glad that Fedora could help to give you a good time and that you enjoy it
Feel always free to ask questions if you have some in the ask.category, and of course feel free to engage deeper also in the community in all the other various channels of ours I read in between your lines that you have already some experience with stuff like ours
While there are lots of barriers to conventional employment for people who aren’t “fully able”, there are many ways you can contribute to the open source community where no corporation seeks ownership of things you produce. At present, with many people trying to free themselves from US mega enterprises, there is a need for experienced users to help people trying Linux for the first time. Your personal perspective may give you insights that most active forum participants don’t have. The Linux community generally embraces a wide range of preferences and requirements where commercial OS’s impose limitations, so users who have personal experience with “limitations” and have found ways to work with Linux can provide valuable insights.
Welcome to Fedora and congrats on being a survivor.I have been using Fedora pretty much since 2003 when it was Fedora Core.The last time i installed Fedora was Fedora 36 when i had to replace a hard drive.I have upgraded since and have had no issue’s.I also have Fedora KDE installed in virtualbox which has also been upgraded since around Fedora 38.I think you will find it is a very stable system and the forum here has a lot of people very willing to help.
I have enough on my hands right now. I am Global Moderator on another site/forum. I dare not post it here. That takes up most of my time. Looking over the forums, making sure no one is getting out of line.
