Fatur_New

Fedora is solid, but I keep finding myself tempted to try something new. Maybe I get bored easily—or maybe I just haven’t found the one yet.

Here’s what I’m really looking for:

🔹 Large and fast app repository – I want access to a wide range of apps, updated quickly, without weird dependency issues.

🔹 Great UI/UX – KDE is my current favorite. I love how modern and smooth it feels, and I want something that builds on that experience.

🔹 Stability without being outdated – I don’t mind rolling release if it’s reliable. Crashes and breakages are a dealbreaker.

🔹 Good extras – Whether it’s unique tools, deep customization options, or just thoughtful polish, I love a distro with a “complete” feel.

🔹 Active community/support – Docs, forums, or anything that helps when things go wrong.

Fedora already provides what you want. So you just get bored, not haven’t found the one yet.

What would you recommend and why? Any underrated KDE-based distro I should check out?

You better check out KaOS, Nitrux, ALT Linux, and OpenMandriva

Also, if you can, please share some of the best (and free) resources to really learn and master Linux. I’m still learning and only know some basics, but I want to go deeper and really understand how things work under the hood.

LFS book is good resource if you want to know about Linux OS components. Arch Wiki (I’m sure you already know about this), Void Linux Handbook, and Gentoo Wiki are also good resources for learning about Linux OS

It’s well out of the testing phase

Testing phase, not stable phase (yet).

Wayland is plenty tested these days

If it’s still being tested, then it isn’t for very new users

x11 has the following problems every time:

And Wayland isn’t very well tested yet. We should only give a very well tested display server to very new users. They must not get a bad impression

won’t support HDR,

Source?

I don’t understand what problem this is solving…

AppImage’s portable config feature is very useful if you use live usb, and AppImage’s portable config feature makes your ~/ clean from scattered application configs

Yes, you’re missing something. AppImage’s portable config feature can also make you use your config on other drive. You don’t need to symlink your config to ~/.config. you can use your config directly on your other drive

It does not only make config can be stored but can also be used on other drives

AppImage. Because it has portable config feature
