You are supporting a US company (RedHat) while you could support an European one. You also rely on US based server bound to US patent laws (which are much more crappy than EU ones). OpenSuse uses rpm too so you wouldn’t give away much. OpenSuse is also back by the oldest company (German) selling Linux as a product so you’d have great support. As highlighted by others, otherwise, Ubuntu is more widely use than Fedora and Europe based too. By your criteria (support out of the box and troubleshooting articles online) Ubuntu should be the winner.

While I sue fedora and I think it’s great as an OS why not OpenSuse here to really be EU based ;)?

I agree 100%

Sorry to hear about your long COVID :(

Your point is spot on. It’s not even guarantee that we find a solution… you can’t just ask scientist to science faster. The problem is with lackluster investments and also expectations that everything can be fixed with enough money thrown at it :(

How are you the only level-headed person in this thread?
