I’m in the market to find a new distro that is similar enough to Fedora that switching won’t be as laborious as I’ve had it before. I keep hearing POP!_os is a good choice but I’m going to as the community what they think is good.
I’m wondering if Universal Blue will be impacted if Redhat pulls a CoreOS move on Fedora. If not, that’d be quite a seamless switch.
I’m on Debian at the moment.
Which DE do you use? Sadly, on KDE Debian is quite bloated but there’s a trick, I deselected KDE when installing Debian.
Naturally, I booted into a blackscreen but after entering my credentials I ran the following command:
sudo apt install kde-plasma-desktopI rebooted into a beautiful and minimal Plasma desktop, it doesn’t even have a calculator but it still comes with a few questionable applications installed. From there I just set up flathub and I’m all flatpak.
I used this page, check the page for your favorite DE/WM: https://wiki.debian.org/KDE
Nobara?
Still fedora based

Hence the question mark. OP gave no reasons as to why not Fedora.
That’s your chance to turn away from rpm/RHEL distros and run without looking back. As last 20 years history shows, that branch of linux OS is either dying off on hands, leaving you without suport, either makes migration path complicated by a need to change distro. Like it was with centos +5…10 years, oh no … -> maybe fedora -> oh no … -> whatever whocares rpm pop/rocky/alma name it … Thats it, beat it, no more this shit.
deb or any other kind linux is a way to go.
Any specific reason why you’d like to move away from Fedora? It’s an amazing distro, all things considered.
Don’t get me wrong. I love Fedora, but with the things they’ve done recently, I really don’t think what I want from an OS and RH wants are the same anymore. I’d prefer to separate from them while I have the opportunity before I’m invested to the point of staying because it’s too hard to migrate.
