OP is clearly not that if their use case involves a homelab and docker containers. Arch is a perfectly valid suggestion here.

This didn't happen to OP, and it isn't recent - look at the report date.

This happened back in 2021 and apparently blew up on Reddit and Twitter, causing OpSec to release a public statement that claimed that the DMCA notice was a fake.

I personally don't see the Fedora team breaking away from Gnome just yet, but he makes some good points.

Starting in 2025, KDE Plasma’s release cycle switches to a semi-annual cadence that lines up with Fedora Linux releases, enabling a tight interlock of development and integration between Fedora and KDE.

This is the key change that might make such a move viable, imo. One of the key benefits of Gnome to point release distros, and Fedora in particular, is the predictable 6-month release cycle. If KDE achieve the same, then it will make the proposition a lot more attractive.

There are other distros with the same points

Are there? Like what?

Disagree, actually. The Endeavour defaults are really good and they have a really helpful, newbie-friendly forum.

Plus I have personally found the stereotype of Arch being difficult to maintain to not be true at all. I just installed the linux-lts kernel package and setup btrfs-assistant for system restore and it's been quite low-maintenance. I had way more issues with Fedora, come to think of it.

  • Community-driven distro
  • Bleeding edge software
  • Rolling release instead of point release
  • Amazing software availability
  • Highly customizable
  • Documentation and community support

As a Photoshop replacement, there's Photopea.

It's not as heavy duty, but the layout/tools are pretty much the same so it feels significantly more intuitive of you're used to the PS way of doing things than Krita, GIMP, etc .

Ah yeah, I have an AMD GPU so no issues. For Nvidia, you're better off with Pop.

Understandable, although in my experience Endeavour has been as stable and easy to maintain as any point-release distro by simply 1) using the LTS kernel instead of the latest Arch kernel, and 2) using snapper/btrfs-assistant for backups, just in case.

Before I did #1, the most common problem I had was something breaking after a kernel update, but now my system has been running as a daily driver without any breakages or failed boots for over 8 months straight.

One of the devs over at the Endeavour forum did a write up that I think are some great tips to follow if you want to run a stable Arch installation:

Yeah, same. Whenever I try out another distro I find myself having to work harder to get things to set up the way I want, compared to Endeavour. Having the AUR at your fingertips makes you spoiled, for sure.

Thanks for the write up. I also looked into running Resolve but the lack of AAC/MP4 support was the kicker.

Funnily enough, my personal experience aligns with yours - Fedora and I just seem to fundamentally dislike each other. I've tried it several times, as it looks good on paper, but I've had significantly had more issues with it than I ever have with Arch/EndeavourOS.

Mint and Endeavour are pretty much the only distros I'll ever need, I've come to the conclusion.

It's funny that this article doesn't mention the one company that pretty much single handedly created the need for this legislation in the first place.
