The lesson is to use a Community distro, not a Corporate distro.

Okay, but you don't see these kinds of complaints with Fedora or SUSE. While I don't necessarily disagree with your core point (community is better), this doesn't seem like an issue with corporations so much as an issue strictly with Canonical.

Been running KDE on fedora for the last 6 years after giving up on everything Ubuntu based back then. Haven't thought to look elsewhere since as its been just fine

I went through something similar 2 years ago. I was sold in PopOS, mainly because Debian based distros were easier to find help for. Almost 2 years ago I started using Fedora on my PC while still having PopOS on my laptop. Within 3 weeks I was setting my laptop up with Fedora as well, and I've never looked back (other than the regular distro-hopping bursts, lol).

It has been very good & stable over the last few years. I switched because kbuntus ancient kernel caused me issues so I needed something more current, and its worked ever since so I never looked elsewhere. Running Linux isn't a hobby for me, these are my work systems, so I don't hop without a push.

Edit: I've just rolled out fedora 40 and plasma 6 is running great

Yeah, I get you. My PC is for work, and my laptop can be used for work, but it's mostly my gaming rig (together with my Steam Deck), and my distro-hopping unit as well.

I used Fedora 40 with KDE 6 since the Beta, but KDE and I just don't get along, so I'm on Gnome 46 on both devices now.

One of the huge advantages on Linux is that you can be back in business in 20 minutes if you choose to try another distro. Similar to Windows and Mac, said Noone ever 🤣🤣

You're being purposefully obtuse. Corporate distro means "by and for companies" which rolling releases are not

Okay? OpenSUSE Leap is a point release by and for companies. While Fedora isn't necessarily a server distro, it IS a point release designed with enterprise use in mind.

If we look at both of their strictly enterprise counterparts, I've never heard of any complaints about SUSE and any complaints with RHEL I've heard are with source availability. Neither of them have the mega amounts of bad publicity of Canonical.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
