Thats a really good question. Guess I'll check out opensuse tumbleweed.

That's what I was going to suggest; the SUSE people do good work. If Fedora becomes something I want to leave... that's where I'm going.

I don't really need or want this pressure on Fedora -- 'the premiere desktop... blah, barf'. This is how we got Canonical and their brazen licensing

I'm happy enough with it basically being RHEL-next. Package the misc things (GNOME, KDE, Sway, etc) with the appropriate SELinux policies and bam, a decent desktop OS.

One minor quality-of-life suggestion that I found with SUSE, is after you install things make a soft link from their "zypper" package manager utility to "zyp".

That way, you can just type "zyp ..." for stuff which is pretty easy, whereas "zypper" I always found to be more of a pain (for typing). "zypper" seems to attract typos, for me anyway. ;)

You could do the same thing with an alias too I guess... :)
