I left Ubuntu when they sent all my dock search history to Amazon. But this time is different, should I leave Fedora considering how much it is developed by Red Hat?

I’ve actively defended this distribution and Red Hat for many years now and I’m deep in their technology but I want to avoid being a Devil’s Advocate.

    If you’re strongly tied to KDE and immutability, then I would say no. There’s not really an equivalent distro that provides stable immutability with a solid KDE/Plasma experience.

    If you’re tied to immutability, but not KDE, then I recommend openSUSE Aeon. It’s Gnome, but with a few extensions, feels great as a KDE replacement. openSUSE Kalpa (KDE) exists, but is in a very rough alpha state and was mostly unusable for my purposes.

    If you’re tied to KDE and not immutability, then I recommend really any other distro. Can’t go wrong with Arch, Nix, or even Debian if you don’t mind slightly outdated packages (and that might be false now, I believe it just had a big release?).

      I was on Debian before switching to Fedora. I might go back but keep my exact same workflow. Installing everything with flatpaks and not doing any changes to the base image.
